I have an class with an IDictionary on it.
<map name="CodedExamples" table="tOwnedCodedExample">
<key>
<column name="OwnerClassID"/>
</key>
<index type="string" column="ExampleCode"/>
<many-to-many class="CodedExample" column ="CodedExampleClassID"/>
</map>
as you can see it uses a many-to-many to get the CodedExamples from their table using the tOwnedCodedExample table to find which are owned by the OwnerClass.
I realise that this is a very basic (and hopefully standard) mapping but am struggling and can't find any documentation for it, therefore would be very grateful of any help possible.
Many Thanks
Stu
I have a working example, this should make it clear to you.
Classes:
public class Customer : Entity
{
public IDictionary<string, Book> FavouriteBooks { get; set; }
}
public class Book : Entity
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}
And then the map:
HasManyToMany<Book>(x => x.FavouriteBooks)
.Table("FavouriteBooks")
.ParentKeyColumn("CustomerID")
.ChildKeyColumn("BookID")
.AsMap<string>("Nickname")
.Cascade.All();
Resulting xml:
<map cascade="all" name="FavouriteBooks" table="FavouriteBooks" mutable="true">
<key>
<column name="`CustomerID`" />
</key>
<index type="System.String, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
<column name="`Nickname`" />
</index>
<many-to-many class="Domain.Book, Domain, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null">
<column name="`BookID`" />
</many-to-many>
</map>
Generated SQL:
create table "Customer" (
"Id" integer,
"FirstName" TEXT,
primary key ("Id")
)
create table FavouriteBooks (
"CustomerID" INTEGER not null,
"BookID" INTEGER not null,
"Nickname" TEXT not null,
primary key ("CustomerID", "Nickname")
)
create table "Book" (
"Id" integer,
"Name" TEXT,
primary key ("Id")
)
Map the book.name
as the key instead of the nickname.
