If you haven't told NHibernate about ParentEntityReference in any way, then it will of course be null.
"mapping is one way". But your classes have a bidirectional relationship - why not tell NHibernate about this? Another way is to set ParentEntityReference inside the setter for ParentEntity.ComplexProperty. It will only be non-null if the ComplexProperty instance is actually "loaded through" ParentEntity, instead of directly by id. There is also the NHibernate event listener system - perhaps you can do something there. /Oskar 2012/11/18 Mike B <[email protected]> > So I have done some more experimentation.
