Hi, I have an existing POCO class library that uses arrays for children collections and I have an exiting database that I cannot change.
I want to use the <array> mapping but it requires an <index> element. In my existing database, the children tables do not have index columns. For instance, when the Invoices of a Customer are loaded, I don't expect them to be at any specific position in the array. I think I need a IUserCollectionType to solve this problem. I'd need a collection type that satisfies the <array> mapping; a type similar to the nhibernate array type but that produces index value on-the-fly (and that wouldn't try to save it to the database). Has this been done before? Is there any chance I could get the source code for such a collection type? This is my first nhibernate project so I'd rather not have to understand the inner workings at this point. It'd be great if I could just get started and later learn how to extend nhibernate. Thanks a lot - Sly By the way, I have posted a very similar question on SO and this is where I was told about IUserCollectionType. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1746414/how-configure-nhibernate-to-map-to-an-array-if-there-is-no-index-in-the-table -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nhusers" group.
