I agree with the author of that post "Some people dislike the idea of sending the 'real' domain objects across the wire. Instead they create DTO objects for everything that has to be passed back from a service.
My personal preference is to only create DTO classes when they are needed, hopefully saving time on creating both the DTO objects and the code to map my domain properties to them." And we are keeping our domain model to not get deep or many associations. For example our Invoice object just got references to its orderlines and actions. And in this case I only want to load about 50 invoices without the list of orderlines and actions. And when I need to look or edit the invoice I will load the whole one. But I'm not using any mapper in this case, I use the domain invoice class. Cause all the logic I have on the server I want on my silverlight client. Everything is working out fine except I can't tell nhibernate to not bother about the orderlines and actions. (actions is a list with actions that have happened to the invoice). So have can I tell Nhibernate to skip these to collections in the easiest way? :) On Oct 27, 10:44 am, "Richard Brown \(gmail\)" <[email protected]> wrote: > You would still need to make a transient copy of your entities (don't modify > the persistent ones). > > Again, AutoMapper might be able to help ... or perhaps a little utility > class to extract-and-copy a portion of your model: > > http://broloco.blogspot.com/2009/02/sending-domain-objects-across-wir... > > -----Original Message----- > From: Niclas Pehrsson > Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2010 8:22 AM > To: nhusers > Subject: [nhusers] Re: QueryOver and Fetch > > Well, I have read it, and I can't see why I just can't get an. > > No it is not possible that way. > Yes it is possible, you have to do like this...... > > On Oct 26, 8:07 pm, Carlos cubas <[email protected]> wrote: > > Same advice from me.
