Transparent Redis Dal with serviceStack Redis - redis

Question

Yeap I'm here with another weird question:)
I try to implement transparent Redis Data Access Layer.
I will load N*1 and 1*1 relations Eagerly, N*N and 1*N relations Lazily.
public class User
{
public long CityId {get;set;}
[EagerLoading]
[IgnoreDataMember]
public City {get;set;}
}
public class City
{
public ICollection<long> UserIds {get;set;}
[LazyLoading]
[IgnoreDataMember]
public ICollection<User> Users{get;set;}
}
There is no problem with CUD operations (Create,Update,Delete). I can store full object hierarchy.
But I need non-typed Get method for retrieving objects.
public class GenericRedisRepository
{
public object Get(string objectUrn)
{
using (var r = RedisManager.GetReadOnlyClient())
{
var pocoObject=r.GetObject(objectUrn); // I COULD NOT FIND THIS METHOD
foreach (var property in ReflectionHelper.GetEagerLoadingProperties(pocoObject))
{
// Fixup relations and load all EagerLoading properties recursively
}
}
}
}
Any idea or alternative way..

Sorry for being late. I wonder why you stick to having properties rather than methods that are not serialized/deserialized by nature:
public class User
{
public long Id { get; set; }
}
public class City
{
public IEnumerable<long> UserIds { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<User> GetUsers()
{
using (var userData = redis.As<User>())
return userData.GetByIds(UserIds);
}
}
This way you can defer loading users by calling GetUsers() when you really need them:
var city = redis.As<City>().GetById(id);
...
var users = city.GetUsers();
