I'm trying to map the following classes:
PessoaFisica and PessoaJuridica inherits Pessoa.
Cliente has an association with Pessoa, it may be PessoaJuridica or PessoaFisica.
When I save a Cliente object with PessoaFisica, for example, thats ok. But when I try to update and I set the property Pessoa from Cliente to PessoaJuridica and try to update, it updates, but it generates a new row in table TB_PESSOA and the old row, in PessoaFisica is not deleted. It creates a new row to PessoaJuridica, but the old row remains. What's wrong with my mapping XMLs ? Why NHibernate does not delete the old row before insert the new polymorphic object ?
Those are the mapping files I am using
<hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2"
namespace="SALClassLib.Masterdata.Model" assembly="SALClassLib">
<class name="Pessoa" table="TB_PESSOA">
<id name="Id">
<column name="ID_PESSOA" not-null="true"/>
<generator class="increment" />
</id>
(other properties...)
<joined-subclass name="PessoaFisica" table="TB_PESSOA_FISICA">
<key column="ID_PESSOA" />
(other properties...)
</joined-subclass>
<joined-subclass name="PessoaJuridica" table="TB_PESSOA_JURIDICA">
<key column="ID_PESSOA" />
(other properties...)
</joined-subclass>
</class>
<class name="Cliente" table="TB_CLIENTE">
<id name="Id">
<column name="ID_CLIENTE" not-null="true"/>
<generator class="increment" />
</id>
<many-to-one name="Pessoa" class="Pessoa" cascade="all" column="ID_PESSOA" not-null="true" unique="true" />
Thank you
NHibernate cascading is nicely explained here: NHibernate Cascades: the different between all, all-delete-orphans and save-update
One of the option, is cascade="all-delete-orphan" which could be seen as what you are asking for.
BUT
Cascading deletion of the orphans is correct only in parent-child scenario (no parent ==> no children) or one-to-one mapping. (i.e not vice versa child-parent)
In your case, you do ask for deletion of the referenced object. But NHibernate (well no-one) can know, if it is not referenced by some other "child".
If you need to delete previous Person assigned, you can always do it in code - but explicitly

I'm trying to map a self-referencing table with NHibernate 3.2.0.4000. However, whenever I get an instance of DomainObject, it eagerly loads the subsequent versions. I'd rather not have to put an extra column my table, though that is an option.
Can I have NHiberante not eagerly load all of the subsequent versions without maintaining the relationship on both sides?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<hibernate-mapping assembly="NHibernateHierarchyTest" namespace="NHibernateHierarchyTest" xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2">
<class name="DomainObject" table="DOMAIN_OBJECT" lazy="true" >
<id name="DomainObjectId" column="DOMAIN_OBJECT_ID">
<generator class="identity" />
</id>
<property name="Property">
<column name="PROPERTY" />
</property>
<many-to-one name="PreviousVersion" class="DomainObject" >
<column name="PREVIOUS_VERSION_DOMAIN_OBJECT_ID" />
</many-to-one>
<!--<many-to-one name="SubsequentVersion" class="DomainObject">
<column name="SUBSEQUENT_VERSION_DOMAIN_OBJECT_ID" />
</many-to-one>-->
<one-to-one name="SubsequentVersion" class="DomainObject" property-ref="PreviousVersion" />
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>
The one-to-one mapping will be always loaded eagarly with NHibernate. Not sure if this is a feature or bug, but that is how it works. If you need lazy load, use many-to-one or one-to-many. Not the best answer I know, but if you can add new column...
I have the following UML structure:
I'm trying to map it similar to this:
<class name="Parent" table="ParentTable">
<id name="Id">
<generator class="guid.comb" />
</id>
<one-to-one name="Child" class="IChild" property-ref="Parent" cascade="all" />
</class>
<class name="IChild" table="ChildTable" abstract="true">
<id name="Id">
<generator class="foreign">
<param name="property">Parent</param>
</generator>
</id>
<discriminator column="TypeKey" type="String"/>
<one-to-one name="Parent" class="Parent" />
<one-to-one name="Child" class="IGrandchild" property-ref="Parent" cascade="all" />
</class>
<subclass name="ConcreteChild" extends="IChild" discriminator-value="ConcreteChild1">
<property name="SomeProperty"/>
</subclass>
<class name="IGrandchild" table="GrandchildTable" abstract="true">
<id name="Id">
<generator class="guid.comb" />
</id>
<discriminator column="TypeKey" type="String"/>
<many-to-one name="Parent" class="IChild" unique="true" column="ChildTableFk" />
</class>
<subclass name="ConcreteGrandchild" extends="IGrandchild" discriminator-value="ConcreteGrandchild1">
<property name="SomeOtherProperty"/>
</subclass>
Working against SQL this doesn't work (strangely, with SQLite this does work). NHibernate first inserts the Parent with the generated guid. It then inserts the child with the same guid. But when it comes to inserting the grandchild, it inserts it with ChildTableFk null (and never attempts to update the FK value).
Additional points:
I prefer not changing the IChild mapping to use many-to-one with FK if possible (I prefer a shared PK).
I can't change the IGrandChild mapping to use a foreign generator because the grandchild can be changed after the object graph is changed, which NHibernate does not support with a foreign generator (an IChild instance, on the other hand, will never change for the lifecycle of a given IParent).
Other than that, any suggestions are welcome, including alternate mapping styles (as long as they support polymorphic IChild and IGrandchild objects).
Oops, seems that I just forgot to set the Parent property on the Grandchild. Should have been the first thing I looked at.
I'm very new to NHibernate, and I'm running into a problem while saving a list of child objects.
NOTE
<class name="Note" table="NOTE">
<id name="NoteID" column="NOTE_ID">
<generator class="identity" />
</id>
...
<list name="Sections" table="NOTE_SECTIONS" cascade="all" lazy="false">
<key column="NOTE_ID"/>
<index column="SORT_ORDER"/>
<one-to-many class="Section"/>
</list>
</class>
NOTE SECTION
<class name="Section" table="NOTE_SECTIONS">
<id name="SectionID" column="Section_ID">
<generator class="identity" />
</id>
<property name="NoteID" column="NOTE_ID"/>
...
</class>
The mappings work perfectly for reading the data. However, when I make a change to the Note Section, The queries it generates appears to be going through the proper steps, but then I get the following error:
NHibernate.Exceptions.GenericADOException: could not delete collection: [Domain.Note.Sections#1][SQL: UPDATE NOTE_SECTIONS SET NOTE_ID = null, SORT_ORDER = null WHERE NOTE_ID = #p0] ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'NOTE_ID', table 'NOTE_SECTIONS'; column does not allow nulls. UPDATE fails.
I have read that in order to save like this it will need to be bidirectional. But I've also read that bidrectional mappings don't work with Lists. It's important that my collection have a maintained order - what's the best way to save?
You should use inverse="true" on your collection mapping if you wish to save child objects in this manner.
<list name="Sections" table="NOTE_SECTIONS" inverse="true" cascade="all" lazy="false">
<key column="NOTE_ID"/>
<index column="SORT_ORDER"/>
<one-to-many class="Section"/>
</list>
Inverse Attribute in NHibernate
probably you would need to refer Note from Note Section as many-to-one relation.
Hey all, I'm kicking the tires on NHibernate and have a conoundrum I have been scratching my head over for a bit now, working with a legacy database with some fairly complex relationships.
ClaimRoot has a primary key of a claimGUID.
ClaimRoot has a bag of Claimdetails associated by claimGUID (this works a treat).
The problem is that ClaimRoot also has an optional one to one relationship with ClaimFinancials (not all ClaimRoots have ClaimFinancials, but most do). But the PK for ClaimFinancials is a FormID field. This field exists in the ClaimRoot, but is not the PK.
I've posted a mapping below with extra columns removed to protect the innocent.
<class name="ClaimRoot" table="tbl_ClaimRoot" schema="DB1.dbo">
<id name="ClaimGUID">
<generator class="guid"/>
</id>
<property name="FormID" />
<property name="LastFormNoteText" />
<bag name="ClaimDetails" inverse="true">
<key column="ClaimGUID"/>
<one-to-many class="ClaimDetails"/>
</bag>
</class>
<class name="ClaimDetails" table="tbl_ClaimDetails" schema="DB2.dbo">
<id name="RowID">
<generator class="native"/>
</id>
<property name="ClaimGUID" />
<property name="SeqNo"/>
<property name="B1A_InsID" />
<many-to-one name="Root" column="ClaimGUID" foreign-key="ClaimGUID"/>
</class>
<class name="ClaimFinancials" table="tbl_ClaimFinancials" schema="DB1.dbo">
<id name="FormID">
<generator class="native"/>
</id>
<property name="CreatedDate"/>
<property name="SubmittedDate" />
</class>
Thanks in advance!

Assuming the FormID is use only for linking ClaimRoot and ClaimFinancials, it sounds like you want a many-to-one relationship from ClaimRoot to ClaimFinancials. Replace the FormId property on ClaimRoot with a many-to-one.
<class name="ClaimRoot" table="tbl_ClaimRoot" schema="DB1.dbo">
...
<many-to-one name="ClaimFinancials" column="FormID" />
...
</class>
A many-to-one relationship can be be used even if there is only 'one' on the 'many' side. If you were generating a schema, you can specify unique="true" to generate the constraint in the database. With a legacy database, that won't matter.
I have a Member Table with fields
MemID - Primary Key
Business_Name
Business_Address
Business_Phone
I need to make an Employer Class which has properties that come from the same Members Table.
EmployerName
EmployerAddress
EmployerPhone
Here is my Employer Mapping
<hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" auto-import="true">
<class name="Employer, Entities" lazy="true" table="Members" dynamic-update="true">
<id name="MemberID" column="MemID" type="Int64">
<generator class="native" />
</id>
<many-to-one name="EmployerAddress" column="Business_Address" class="Address, Entities" lazy="proxy" />
<many-to-one name="EmployerPhone" column="Business_Phone" class="Phone, Entities" lazy="proxy"/>
<property name="EmployerName" column="Business_Name" not-null="false" />
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>
I thought that I could map the Members class like this but I get a "System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary."
<hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" auto-import="true">
<class name="Member, Entities" lazy="true" table="Members" dynamic-update="true">
<id name="MemberID" column="MemID" type="Int64">
<generator class="native" />
</id>
<one-to-one name="EmployerInformation" class="Employer, Entities" lazy="false"/>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>
Also please note. I can't move the Business Information to another table due to constraints on the current system. Business_Address and Business_Phone are FK to another table that is why they are many-to-one mappings.
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you could try the "component" mapping. This allows you to have a nested class within the same table.
Search google for "nhibernate component" - it appears that the hibernate.org site is still down (!), but you might be able to get the component info from the google cache for the page "Chapter 7 - Component Mapping."
