Given the classes below:
public class Address : Place
{
public virtual string Street { get; set; }
public virtual int Number { get; set; }
public override string WhereAmI
{
get { string.Format("{0} {1}", Street , Number); }
}
}
public abstract class Place : DomainEntity
{
public abstract string WhereAmI { get; }
}
When I use this mapping:
var autoMap = AutoMap.AssemblyOf<Party>()
.Override<Place>(map => map.IgnoreProperty(p => p.WhereAmI))
.Override<Address>(map => map.IgnoreProperty(p => p.WhereAmI))
.Where(type => type.Namespace != null && type.Namespace.Contains("Models"));
I still get the error: Could not find a setter for property 'WhereAmI' in class 'Address'
Things I did:
When i remove the property from the base class "Address" it works.
When i use .OverrideAll(map => map.IgnoreProperty("WhereAmI")) But I don't want it to be global because in another class i might use the same property name where I DO want to include this Property
Is there any way to get this to work other then to use an Interface?
I tried tracking down in the FluentNHibernate code exactly why the IgnoreProperty seems to break down when the property being ignored is coming from a base class, but ran out of time. It seems to work fine if the get-only property is not coming from a base class.
Anyway, the solution to your situation seems to be to create a custom IAutomappingConfiguration by inheriting from DefaultAutomappingConfiguration. See this stack overflow answer: How can I create a Fluent NHibernate Convention that ignores properties that don't have setters.
Here's the custom automapping configuration that I used successfully to automap the example entity you provided:
protected class CustomConfiguration : DefaultAutomappingConfiguration
{
public override bool ShouldMap (Member member)
{
if (member.IsProperty && member.IsPublic && !member.CanWrite)
{
return false;
}
return base.ShouldMap(member);
}
public override bool ShouldMap(Type type)
{
return type.Namespace != null && type.Namespace.Contains("Models");
}
}
And then its use:
var autoMap = AutoMap
.AssemblyOf<DomainEntity>(new CustomConfiguration());
Note that the Where clause in your example had to move into the custom configuration class as its not allowed to be chained if you are using a custom configuration instance.

I've scoured Google and SO but haven't come across anyone having the same problem. Here is my model:
public class Hierarchy
{
public virtual Event Prerequisite { get; set; }
public virtual Event Dependent { get; set; }
public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
var other = obj as Hierarchy;
if (other == null)
{
return false;
}
else
{
return this.Prerequisite == other.Prerequisite && this.Dependent == other.Dependent;
}
}
public override int GetHashCode()
{
return (Prerequisite.Id.ToString() + "|" + Dependent.Id.ToString()).GetHashCode();
}
}
Here is my mapping:
public class HierarchyMap : ClassMap<Hierarchy>
{
public HierarchyMap()
{
CompositeId()
.KeyReference(h => h.Prerequisite, "PrerequisiteId")
.KeyReference(h => h.Dependent, "DependentId");
}
}
And here is the ever present result:
{"The entity 'Hierarchy' doesn't have an Id mapped. Use the Id method to map your identity property. For example: Id(x => x.Id)."}
Is there some special configuration I need to do to enable composite id's? I have the latest FNh (as of 6/29/2012).
Edit
I consider the question open even though I've decided to map an Id and reference the 2 Event's instead of using a CompositeId. Feel free to propose an answer.
I figured out this was due to auto mapping trying to auto map the ID
Even though i had an actual map for my class - it still tried to auto map the ID. Once i excluded the class from auto mapping, it worked just fine.
I have the following classes:
public abstract class FooBase
{
public virtual Guid Id { get; set; }
}
public class FooTypeA : FooBase
{
public virtual string TypeAStuff { get; set; }
}
public class Bar
{
public virtual Guid Id { get; set; }
public virtual FooBase Foo { get; }
}
FooBase and FooTypeA are mapped using the table-per-class-heirarchy pattern.
Bar is mapped like this:
public class BarDbMap : ClassMap<Bar>
{
public BarDbMap()
{
Id(x => x.Id);
References(x => x.Foo)
.LazyLoad();
}
}
So when I load a Bar, its Foo property is only a proxy.
How do I get the subclass type of Foo (i.e. FooTypeA)?
I have read through a lot of NH docs and forum posts. They describe ways of getting that work for getting the parent type, but not the subclass.
If I try to unproxy the class, I receive errors like:
object was an uninitialized proxy for FooBase
I worked out how to avoid the exception I was receiving. Here is a method that unproxies FooBase:
public static T Unproxy<T>(this T obj, ISession session)
{
if (!NHibernateUtil.IsInitialized(obj))
{
NHibernateUtil.Initialize(obj);
}
if (obj is INHibernateProxy)
{
return (T) session.GetSessionImplementation().PersistenceContext.Unproxy(obj);
}
return obj;
}
Add a Self property to FooBase and use that to check the type:
public abstract class FooBase
{
public virtual Guid Id { get; set; }
public virtual FooBase Self { return this; }
}
Usage:
if (Bar.Foo.Self is FooTypeA) { // do something }
To get the "unproxied" type you could add a method like this to FooBase:
public virtual Type GetTypeUnproxied() {
return GetType();
}
When this method is invoked on a proxy the type of the underlying object will be returned.
However, from your description it seems you are trying to do this outside of the NHibernate session and that won't work with this strategy either. To invoke any method on the proxy where the call is proxied to the underlying object it needs to be instantiated and that can only happen within the NHibernate session since the actual type of the object is stored in the database (in a discriminator column for the table-per-class-hierarchy inheritance strategy). So my guess is that you need to make sure that the proxy is initialized before closing the session if you need to check the type later.
If the reason for lazy loading the Bar->FooBase relation is that FooBase (or a derived type) might contain large amounts of data and you are using NHibernate 3 you could use lazy properties instead.
All of my entities and value objects implement marker interfaces IEntity and IValueObject. I have set them up to be treated as components like so:
public override bool IsComponent(Type type)
{
return typeof(IValueObject).IsAssignableFrom(type);
}
public override bool ShouldMap(Type type)
{
return typeof(IEntity).IsAssignableFrom(type) || typeof(IValueObject).IsAssignableFrom(type);
}
Unfortunately, this does not seem to allow entities that have collections of value objects to be automapped as component collections. For example:
public class MyEntity : IEntity
{
public IList<MyValueObject> Objects { get; set; }
}
public class MyValueObject : IValueObject
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Value { get; set; }
}
Is there any way to define a convention such that, any time an IEntity has an IList of a type that implements IValueObject, it gets mapped as if I had specified:
HasMany(x => x.Objects)
.Component(x => {
x.Map(m => m.Name);
x.Map(m => m.Value);
});
What I don't want to do is have to manually do these overrides for every class and write out each property for the value object again and again.
Create a new class that inherits from HasManyStep (FluentNHibernate.Automapping.Steps).
Override the ShouldMap() method with something like :
return base.ShouldMap(member) && IsCollectionOfComponents(member)
Add your logic to :
public void Map(ClassMappingBase classMap, Member member)
{ ... }
Replace the default step with your new one :
public class MyMappingConfiguration : DefaultAutomappingConfiguration
{
public override IEnumerable<IAutomappingStep> GetMappingSteps(AutoMapper mapper, IConventionFinder conventionFinder)
{
var steps = base.GetMappingSteps(mapper, conventionFinder);
var finalSteps = steps.Where(c => c.GetType() != typeof(FluentNHibernate.Automapping.Steps.HasManyToManyStep)).ToList();
var idx = finalSteps.IndexOf(steps.Where(c => c.GetType() == typeof(PropertyStep)).First());
finalSteps.Insert(idx + 1, new MyCustomHasManyStep(this));
return finalSteps;
}
}
Note : You could also get the original source code of HasManyStep.cs and copy it to your project to introduce your custom logic.
I know this question has been raised in similar form multiple times, but none of the threads could give me the concrete answer to my question.
I use Fluent NHibernate and Fluent`s auto-mapping to map my domain entities. Right now, I use this convention class to set all properties NOT NULL:
public class NotNullColumnConvention : IPropertyConvention
{
public void Apply(FluentNHibernate.Conventions.Instances.IPropertyInstance instance)
{
instance.Not.Nullable();
}
}
The big question is:
What do I need to do, to allow single properties of my entity classes to be NULL?
Here is one of my entity classes:
public class Employee : Entity
{
public virtual string FirstName { get; set; }
public virtual string LastName { get; set; }
}
I´d be really pleased, if someone can finally help me out! All possible search string I have entered into Google return pages, marked as already visited...
Thanks,
Arne
EDIT: Changed title ... Want to allow NULL for single properties
Create an attribute :
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple = false)]
public class CanBeNullAttribute : Attribute
{
}
And a convention :
public class CanBeNullPropertyConvention : IPropertyConvention, IPropertyConventionAcceptance
{
public void Accept(IAcceptanceCriteria<IPropertyInspector> criteria)
{
criteria.Expect(
x => !this.IsNullableProperty(x)
|| x.Property.MemberInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(CanBeNullAttribute), true).Length > 0);
}
public void Apply(IPropertyInstance instance)
{
instance.Nullable();
}
private bool IsNullableProperty(IExposedThroughPropertyInspector target)
{
var type = target.Property.PropertyType;
return type.Equals(typeof(string)) || (type.IsGenericType && type.GetGenericTypeDefinition().Equals(typeof(Nullable<>)));
}
}
Drop the attribute on top of your properties.
I'm using two class NiceCustomer & RoughCustomer which implment the interface ICustomer.
The ICustomer has four properties. They are:
Property Id() As Integer
Property Name() As String
Property IsNiceCustomer() As Boolean
ReadOnly Property AddressFullText() As String
I don't know how to map the interface ICustomer, to the database.
I get an error like this in the inner exception.
An association refers to an unmapped class: ICustomer
I'm using Fluent and NHibernate.
You can map directly to interfaces in NHibernate, by plugging in an EmptyInterceptor during the configuration stage. The job of this interceptor would be to provide implementations to the interfaces you are defining in your mapping files.
public class ProxyInterceptor : EmptyInterceptor
{
public ProxyInterceptor(ITypeHandler typeHandler) {
// TypeHandler is a custom class that defines all Interface/Poco relationships
// Should be written to match your system
}
// Swaps Interfaces for Implementations
public override object Instantiate(string clazz, EntityMode entityMode, object id)
{
var handler = TypeHandler.GetByInterface(clazz);
if (handler == null || !handler.Interface.IsInterface) return base.Instantiate(clazz, entityMode, id);
var poco = handler.Poco;
if (poco == null) return base.Instantiate(clazz, entityMode, id);
// Return Poco for Interface
var instance = FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject(poco);
SessionFactory.GetClassMetadata(clazz).SetIdentifier(instance, id, entityMode);
return instance;
}
}
After this, all relationships and mappings can be defined as interfaces.
public Parent : IParent {
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public IChild Child { get; set; }
}
public Child : IChild {
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public class ParentMap : ClassMap<IParent>
{
public ParentMap()
{
Id(x => x.ID).GeneratedBy.Identity().UnsavedValue(0);
Map(x => x.Name)
}
}
...
This type of technique is great if you want to achieve true decoupling of your ORM, placing all configuration/mappings in a seperate project and only referencing interfaces. Your domain layer is then not being polluted with ORM, and you can then replace it at a later stage if you need to.
how are you querying? If you're using HQL you need to import the interface's namespace with an HBM file with this line:
<import class="name.space.ICustomer, Customers" />
If you're using Criteria you should just be able to query for ICustomer and it'll return both customer types.
If you're mapping a class that has a customer on it either through a HasMany, HasManyToMany or References then you need to use the generic form:
References<NiceCustomer>(f=>f.Customer)
If you want it to cope with either, you'll need to make them subclasses
Subclassmap<NiceCustomer>
In which case I think you'll need the base class Customer and use that for the generic type parameter in the outer class:
References<Customer>(f=>f.Customer)
Regardless, you shouldn't change your domain model to cope with this, it should still have an ICustomer on the outer class.
I'm not sure if the 1.0RTM has the Generic form working for References but a quick scan of the changes should show the change, which I think is a two line addition.
It is not possible to map an interface in nhibernate. If your goal is to be able to query using a common type to retrieve both types of customers you can use a polymorphic query. Simply have both your classes implement the interface and map the classes normally. See this reference:
