Q:

No Hibernate Session bound to thread exception using asp mvc 3, nhibernate 3.2 and spring.net 1.3.2

I'm using ASP.Net MVC 3, spring.net 1.3.2 and nhibernate 3.2. I've been struggling to get the web application to run in IIS 7.5. It works fine inside Visual Studio 2010.
The error I'm getting is
No Hibernate Session bound to thread, and configuration does not allow creation of non-transactional one here 
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

I've spent too much time trying to fix this myself. I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. I've checked various posts in stackoverflow (too many to mention) but they haven't helped. 
I'm a Java guy and this is my first .net project so aren't sure whether I've done anything silly.

I've made changes to my customerDAO

As per the comments above I followed the instructions for implementing osiv. I also found I was closing a session when I should have left it open thus causing a
Cannot access a disposed object.

Note that references to osiv and spring WebSupportModule are in / to make it work in my dev environment and also in / to make the application work in IIS 7.5
I'm also using lazy loading in my views so osiv is the better solution. I showed the programmatic transaction control in my question because that's how far I had got with trying to come up with a solution.
