First, I'm using NHibernate 3.2 and FluentNHibernate 1.3. I have 3 clasess:
public class ClassA
{
public virtual Int32 Id{ get; }
....
public ICollection<ClassB> ClassesB { get; }
public ICollection<ClassC> ClassesC { get; }
}
public class ClassB
{
public virtual Int32 Id{ get; }
....
public ICollection<ClassA> ClassesA { get; }
public ICollection<ClassC> ClassesC { get; }
}
public class ClassC
{
public virtual Int32 Id{ get; }
....
public ICollection<ClassA> ClassesA { get; }
public ICollection<ClassB> ClassesB { get; }
}
I mapped them with this code:
public class ClassAMap : ClassMap<ClassA>
{
public ClassAMap()
: base()
{
Id(m => m.Id);
....
HasManyToMany<ClassB>(m => m.ClassesB).Cascade.SaveUpdate().AsSet().ReadOnlyAccess();
HasManyToMany<ClassC>(m => m.ClassesC).Cascade.SaveUpdate().AsSet().ReadOnlyAccess();
}
}
public class ClassBMap : ClassMap<ClassB>
{
public ClassBMap()
: base()
{
Id(m => m.Id);
....
HasManyToMany<ClassA>(m => m.ClassesA).Cascade.SaveUpdate().AsSet().ReadOnlyAccess();
HasManyToMany<ClassC>(m => m.ClassesC).Cascade.SaveUpdate().AsSet().ReadOnlyAccess();
}
}
public class ClassCMap : ClassMap<ClassC>
{
public ClassCMap()
: base()
{
Id(m => m.Id);
....
HasManyToMany<ClassA>(m => m.ClassesA).Cascade.SaveUpdate().AsSet().ReadOnlyAccess();
HasManyToMany<ClassB>(m => m.ClassesB).Cascade.SaveUpdate().AsSet().ReadOnlyAccess();
}
}
Each class has a collection to the other 2 classes, don't ask why, but I need to map this to a database. Nhibernate generates 3 tables, 2 of them with 2 fields and the third one with the 3 id fields from all the classes, o this third table just 2 fields are part of a Primary Key. I also tryed to asign the table name for the 3 relationships, and NHibernate generates just one table with the 3 fields, but again, only 2 of them are part of the Primery Key. I'm assuming that the 3 field must be part of the primary key given this type of mapping.
The problem is that I can't add items to either collection (I also tried adding the item to the other side class, eg: when I add ClassB to ClassA also add ClassA to ClassB to maintaing the relationship), when I tried to save to database, It throws a FOREING KEY exception and all of the field are set correctly.
My question is, what is the best way to map these three classes? Do I need to do anything else? Am I forgeting something?
