Querying by property of mapped subclass in NHibernate - nhibernate

Question

I'm very new to NHibernate so this may be fairly trivial, but searching is leaving me confused.
I have an AddOnAmount table as follows:
AddOnID | AddOnTypeID | Period | Amount
where AddOnTypeID is a FK. The rows have a unique constraint on AddOnTypeID and Period.
The mapping looks like this:
<id name="Id" column="AddOnId" type="long">
<generator class="native" />
</id>
<many-to-one name="AddOnType" column="AddOnTypeID" class="AddOnTypeStatic" not-null="true" />
<property name="Period" />
etc.
The AddOnTypeStatic class/table just has an Id, which is the numerical value stored on the table, and a descriptive Name.
I'm trying to write a query that will search by AddOnTypeId and Period, so I can validate the existence (or not) of a row before attempting to add a duplicate from my front end, but I'm not sure how to do that as the AddOnAmountStatic class has a subclass whereas the table has just an Id.
So far I've written:
public AddOnAmountStatic FindByAddOnTypeAndPeriod(long addOnType, string period)
{
return FindOne(CreateCriteria()
.Add(Restrictions.Eq("AddOnTypeId", addOnType))
.Add(Restrictions.Eq("Period", period))
.SetCacheable(true));
}
which does not work, as AddOnTypeId isn't a property of AddOnAmountStatic. Not sure how to access the property of the subclass in this context.
My mapping works, as I've been using it so far with no problems.

Solved my problem - it was simple but thought I'd add the solution here in case it helps anyone else.
I'd been thinking of constructing the query from the table's perspective (i.e., with the AddOnTypeID), whereas what I should have done is look at it from the entity's perspective. In other words, I just needed to pass in an AddOnTypeStatic object.
What I did was take my AddOnTypeID parameter, check it exists through NHibernate (returning either an AddOnTypeStatic object or null) then passed that through to the original query. Final query is simply
return FindOne(CreateCriteria()
.Add(Restrictions.Eq("AddOnType", addOnType))
.(Restrictions.Eq("Period", period))
.SetCacheable(true));
Hope this helps another newbie!
