Update - Edited config for readability in SO
Hi,
I've been learning NHibernate for a day or two but getting stuck on one point.
I need to be able to execute custom stored procedures and use NHibernate to map them back to domain classes.
I have this working for the scenario where the custom query maps back to a object that maps to a database table, as shown by many a nhibernate example (See first section below).
However in the config for the second section below, the query pulls only 2 columns from the target table. For this reason, I have created a custom object so that NHibernate has something to map the return values to. The custom object properties have the same name as the return columns from the custom procedure.
When I run my tests I get an exception like:
NHibernate.MappingException: No persister for: Proj.DataEntityTracker.Domain.Entities.CustomObject
So I guess the mapping under sql-query section is not enough for NHibernate to map the return values to the object properties.
So my question is - how do I set up a mapping for which there is no equivalent table in the database such that I can map the results of a stored procedure to that object?
