i'm using automapping with fluent nHibernate, very simply, like so:
Fluently.Configure()
.Database(MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2008
.ConnectionString(c => c
.Server("(local)\\sql2008")
.Database("nHibernate_test")
.TrustedConnection()))
.Mappings(m => m.AutoMappings.Add(
AutoMap.AssemblyOf<Domain.Airport>(cfg)
.UseOverridesFromAssemblyOf<ReaderMappingOverride>()
))
my overriding classes are something like that:
public class ReaderMappingOverride : IAutoMappingOverride<Domain.Reader>
{
public void Override(AutoMapping<Domain.Reader> mapping)
{
//use the reader ID as identifier of the class, instead of the ID field defined in superclass Entity
mapping.IgnoreProperty(r => r.Id);
mapping.Id(r => r.ReaderNumber);
}
}
where Reader is an abstract base-class.
if I use a seperate overriding classes for each sub-class it works OK.
Is there any way to define the overriding for all subclasses of the abstract class?
thanks,
Jhonny
ok, just answered my own question-
my problem was that i was trying to map a heirarchy which started with the Reader class, into a single table. but auto-mapping automatically ignores all abstract classes. what i did was just add this to the configuration section:
.Mappings(m => m.AutoMappings.Add(
AutoMap.AssemblyOf<Domain.Airport>(cfg)
.IncludeBase<Domain.Reader>()
and this to my configuration class
public override bool IsDiscriminated(Type type)
{
//this line indicates that the readers heirarchy should be all in one table, instead of seperate tables for every type of reader
bool ret = type.IsSubclassOf(typeof(Domain.Reader)) || type == typeof(Domain.Reader) ;
return ret;
}
(BTW, the example given in Fluent nHibernate's site uses the method "type.In(..." which does not exist in .net 3.5...)
that worked fine.
hopes this helps...

I use NHibernate for a dynamic website that its modules can be loaded dynamically, so when I want to build a sessionFactory, I use a way to find all assemblies and sort them with their dependencies
after all, I add them to Configuration instance I created and it works.
Now I want to change configuration type from hbm.xml files to fluent
I added below codes:
sessionFactory =
Fluently
.Configure()
.Database(
FluentNHibernate.Cfg.Db.MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2008.ConnectionString(
c => c.FromAppSetting("connectionString")
)
)
.Mappings(
m => m.AutoMappings.Add(
AutoMap.Assemblies(
new FarayanConfig(),
assembliesArray
)
)
).BuildSessionFactory();
FarayanConfig is:
class FarayanConfig : DefaultAutomappingConfiguration
{
public override bool ShouldMap(Type type)
{
return type.Name.EndsWith("Entity");
}
public override bool IsVersion(FluentNHibernate.Member member)
{
return member.Name == "Version";
}
}
also I have a class in an assembly that will be loaded by this code (notice that assembly is not referenced, will be loaded dynamically) with a class named ControlEntity and also another class:
public class ControlEntityMap : ClassMap<ControlEntity>
{
public ControlEntityMap()
{
HasMany(x => x.Properties).Component(c => {
c.Map(v => v.Culture);
c.Map(v => v.Name);
c.Map(v => v.Value);
});
}
}
now the problem is constructor of ControlEntityMap will not execute!
what I must do?
Because of you are trying to use AutoMap.
You can use something like this:
.Mappings(m => m.FluentMappings.AddFromAssembly(Assembly.Load("your assembly name")))
Update:
You are doing right by ovverride DefaultAutomappingConfiguration for this situation but also you are trying to AutoMap all classes which ones end with "Entity" and your class which one you want to ignore it from AutoMap also ends with "Entity". I think you can seperate your classes in different namespaces and declare it in your ShouldMap property.
And there are some information in FluentNhibenate Wiki:
You can ignore base types by simply excluding them from your
ShouldMap(Type) method, that's sometimes the cleanest option; however,
if you want to be a bit more explicit you can use the IgnoreBase
method.
After AutoMap.AssemblyOf() we need to alter the conventions
that the auto mapper is using so it can identify our base-class.
AutoMap.AssemblyOf(cfg) .IgnoreBase();
We've added the IgnoreBase call which simply instructs the
automapper to ignore the Entity class; you can chain this call as many
times as needed.
I have a convention for my ids, which automatically maps properties with a name of Id as the identifier. As requirements are being fleshed out I need to tweak a domain model so naturally I went online and found that I need to create a class that inherits from IAutoMappingOverride<T>.
My convention:
public class PrimaryKeyConvention : IIdConvention, IIdConventionAcceptance
{
public void Apply(IIdentityInstance instance)
{
instance.Column("Id");
instance.GeneratedBy.SeqHiLo(instance.Name, "10");
}
public void Accept(IAcceptanceCriteria<IIdentityInspector> criteria)
{
criteria.Expect(x => x.Generator, Is.Not.Set);
}
}
My override:
public class LocateMappingOverride : IAutoMappingOverride<Locate>
{
public void Override(AutoMapping<Locate> mapping)
{
mapping.Map(x => x.SendTo).Not.Nullable();
}
}
The convention does work as expected if I remove my override.
The exception I get is The entity 'LocateMappingOverride' doesn't have an Id mapped. Use the Id method to map your identity property. For example: Id(x => x.Id)..
Is it possible to use conventions in conjunction with mapping overrides?
The answer is - yes, automapping can work with overrides.
Look what the error said. The problem is not with Locate entity, but with LocateMappingOverride entity, and that class should not be treated as entity, of course. You must have IAutomappingConfiguration configured so that FluentNHibernate's rule what to treat as entity includes LocateMappingOverride, too. And it does not have an Id mapped, indeed.
You should either:
change your IAutomappingConfiguration so that classes that implements IAutoMappingOverride<> are excluded
move the override outside the scope that is searched for entities
or introduce a common marker interface that all entities need to implement, i.e. IEntity and change IAutomappingConfiguration rules respectively.
I've configured Fluent NHibernate to map the entities in my project. None of my entities expose public properties (except their Id), all of their data is stored in private fields.
By using:
public override bool ShouldMap(Member member)
{
return member.Name == "Id" || (member.IsPrivate && member.IsField);
}
it successfully finds my fields, but then expects my database columns to be called things like _emailAddress.
How can I make it map _emailAddress to a column called EmailAddress? My SessionFactory initialisation looks like:
Fluently.Configure()
.Database(MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2008.ConnectionString(c => c.FromConnectionStringWithKey("AppConnection")))
.Mappings(m => m.AutoMappings.Add(AutoMap.AssemblyOf<User>(new NHibMappingConfiguration())
.Conventions.Add(DefaultAccess.CamelCaseField(CamelCasePrefix.Underscore))))
.CurrentSessionContext("web")
.ExposeConfiguration(BuildSchema)
.BuildSessionFactory();
using obviously a default access convention.
Thanks,
Matt
i think you have a couple of options here.
1. you could create your own Convention for naming columns (use the INamingConvention interface. see here).
2. you could create a MappingOverride class for individual classes and define the column name for each one:
mapping.Map(x => x.Name).Column("MyColumnName");
I have the following IIdConvention for a FluentNHibernate automapping. I want all of my id properties to use a custom type that is represented by a string property but the CustomType is never applied to my mappings.
public class PrimaryKeyHasTableName : FluentNHibernate.Conventions.IIdConvention
{
public void Apply(FluentNHibernate.Conventions.Instances.IIdentityInstance instance)
{
instance.Column(instance.EntityType.Name + "Id");
instance.CustomType<CustomIdType>();
}
}
When I looked into the FluentNHibernate source it appears that the Type for the id property has already been set so it is not being set by my convention.
If I use a ClassMap to map the class manually I have not problem setting the CustomType for the Identity property.
Id(x => x.Id)
.Column("UserId")
.CustomType<OnFileIdType>();
Does anybody know how I can successfully set the custom id property using a convention?
Or get my convention to run earlier in the mapping process so that the Type isn't already set by the time my code runs.
Also, here's my configuration code:
Fluently.Configure()
.Database(MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2005.ConnectionString(connString))
.Mappings(m =>
{
m.FluentMappings.AddFromAssemblyOf<BaseEntity>();
m.AutoMappings.Add(AutoMap.AssemblyOf<BaseEntity>()
.Where(t => t.Namespace.EndsWith("Models.Domain"))
.Conventions.AddFromAssemblyOf<BaseEntity>()
.UseOverridesFromAssemblyOf<BaseEntity>()
);
})
.ExposeConfiguration(CreateSchema)
.BuildSessionFactory();
Thanks.
I don't think you can achieve what you want with conventions.
One thing you can try is having all your entities subclass from an abstract entity that defines the Id property and has the custom type mapping for it.
I wouldn't recommend this however, It will just open room for more automapping problems.
Just go for the manual CustomType for each class map.
I'm having the exact same problem, it would be great if FNH's IIdConvention supported this.
After trying a few things and reading this I have resigned myself to implementing IAutoMappingOverride for entities using a custom type for their Id.
public class ProductMap : IAutoMappingOverride<Product>
{
public void Override(AutoMapping<Product> mapping)
{
mapping.Id(x => x.Id).CustomType<ProductId>();
}
}
Using automapping override instead of ClassMap will continue to automap the rest of your properties. Alter your AutoMappings initialisation code to include
.Overrides.AddFromAssemblyOf<BaseEntity>()
I am getting the same problem. I believe that it is arising from the invocation of Conventions.AddFromAssemblyOf<BaseEntity>(), which is causing your custom convention to not be applied.
(By the way, the posted code will work only if your convention classes are in the same assembly as your BaseEntity - it might be safer to use Conventions.AddFromAssemblyOf<PrimaryKeyHasTableName>())
A bug was raised about AddFromAssemblyOf back in February 2011: Fluent NHibernate - Setting CutomType IIdConvention. There is no resolution posted.
The work-around appears to be to add each of the Conventions explicitly
Conventions.Add<PrimaryKeyHasTableName>()
To check this, you can add the following line after the line which adds the automappings, in order to export the mappings to an hbm.xml file on your hard drive, and take a look at the generated mappings.
m.AutoMappings.ExportTo(#"C:\ExportedMappings")
Also, I suggest you add a breakpoint into the Apply method and run the code to ensure that it is being invoked.)
I'm trying to use fluent nhibernate to auto map most properties of a class, and then manually map 1 or 2 properties of that same class (without having to manually map all the other variables in the class map).
I have a class with a couple of dozen properties, but one of those properties is a string which needs to be a long length.
Here's an example:
Person class has fields: ID, firstname, lastname, description, and a few dozen other fields.
I would auto map the class but I want 'description' to be a long string, not a nvarchar(255).
So I try:
public class PersonMap : ClassMap
{
public PersonMap()
{
Map(x => x.description).Length(4000);
}
}
but this doesn't auto map all the other properties (an exception is thrown). It's expecting declarations for each property.
Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
If anyone needs it, here's the code I'm using to declare the configuration:
FluentConfiguration cfg = Fluently.Configure()
.Database(FluentNHibernate.Cfg.Db.MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2000.ConnectionString(Cn));
AutoPersistenceModel mdl =
AutoMap.Assembly(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
cfg.Mappings(m => m.AutoMappings.Add(mdl.Where(type =>
type.Namespace != null && type.Namespace.ToLower() == strNamespace.ToLower() )));
Thanks!
Ok I figured it out. There's a method called 'override' that I can use when declaring the configuration, and in there I can specify all the overrides for specific properties:
AutoPersistenceModel mdl = AutoMap.Assembly(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
mdl.Override<MyNamespace.Person>(map =>
{
map.Map(x => x.description).Length(4000);
});
