So I was using the Automapper exclusively, feeding it only types that implemented an interface I had defined called IEntity. It this was working good until I realized I needed to map some value object types as components. So I instead of only mapping implementations of IEntity I changed automapper to map everything in the the "Domain" namespace. Thats when I started having trouble.
The way my application is organized, each domain aggregate is defined in a separate assembly (along with views, presenters and import/export features) which is dynamically loaded at runtime. So each plugin assembly has a "Domain" namespace containing the entities and value objects used by that aggregate. Anyway, none of my value objects are mapping correctly as components. The automapper tries to map them as normal entities but since they don't have an Id field nhibernate chokes on the first one. I've tried several different approaches: defining a blank interface which all value object implement, moving all value objects to separate namespace, referencing each value object type individually in the lambda expression for IsComponentType. All attempts produced the same result so I decided to try something else; I created a sample project to try to reproduce and isolate the problem. Well, my sample project ran flawlessly. I tried one over and over but I couldn't reproduce the problem I'm having in my main application. So I'm now to the point where I've downloaded the source for fluent nhibernate and tried stepping through the automapping process. Being unfamiliar with how the automapper works, I'm completely lost. Those three simple lines I wrote to invoke the Automapper hide an extremely complex series of jumps and branches and I can't possibly follow without at least several weeks/months of learning. Could someone throw me a bone and point me to where in the Automapping code I should focus to find out why my classes aren't mapping as components?
