Dictionary mapping maps to interfaces instead of implemention

[fennekit]

I have a IDictionary<IA, IB> dictionary in my class. I try to map this with FluentNHibernate but it creates a wrong mapping. The application shows that it generates a map using IA and IB instead of classes A and B. This is also clearly visible from the exported *.hbm.xml files. I am using Fluent-nhibernate 1.3.

The following code shows the problem:

using FluentNHibernate.Cfg;
using FluentNHibernate.Mapping;
using NHibernate;
using NHibernate.Cfg;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    public interface IA
    {
        int Id { get; set; }
        string PropA { get; set; }
    }

    public interface IB
    {
        int Id { get; set; }
        string PropB { get; set; }
    }
    public interface IC
    {
        int Id { get; set; }
        IDictionary<IA, IB> Dictionary { get; set; }
    }
    public class A : IA
    {
        public virtual int Id { get; set;}
        public string PropA { get; set; }
    }
    public class B : IB
    {
        public virtual int Id { get; set; }
        public string PropB { get; set; }
    }

    public class C : IC
    {
        public virtual int Id { get; set; }
        public virtual IDictionary<IA, IB> Dictionary { get; set; }
    }

    public class AMapper : ClassMap<A>
    {
        public AMapper()
        {
            Id(x => x.Id).GeneratedBy.Identity().Column("id");
            Map(x => x.PropA).Column("propa");
        }
    }
    public class BMapper : ClassMap<B>
    {
        public BMapper()
        {     
            Id(x => x.Id).GeneratedBy.Identity().Column("id");
            Map(x => x.PropB).Column("propa");
        }
    }
    public class CMapper : ClassMap<C>
    {  
        public CMapper()
        {     
            Id(x => x.Id).GeneratedBy.Identity().Column("id");
            HasMany<C>(x => x.Dictionary).Table("dict_table").AsEntityMap("C_id").KeyColumn("B_id");
        }
    }


    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Configuration conf = new Configuration().Configure();
            //configuration.AddAssembly(typeof(Program).Assembly);

            var nhConfig = Fluently.Configure(conf)
            .Mappings(mapping => 
                {
                    mapping.FluentMappings.AddFromAssembly(typeof(A).Assembly);
                    mapping.FluentMappings.ExportTo(@"c:\temp\");
                })
                .ExposeConfiguration(cfg =>{});

            Configuration configuration = nhConfig.BuildConfiguration();
            ISessionFactory sessionFactory = configuration.BuildSessionFactory();
            sessionFactory.OpenSession();


        }
    }
}

But you declared IDictionary of IA, IB. Fluent doesn't know that only implementations of IA and IB are classes A and B, respectively, neither does he know that you want concrete type Dictionary to be used for the interface. Also, didn't you mean to write HasMany[B] or HasMany[IB] in the mapping?

[fennekit]

It is possible to do the same with other 'normal' relations. Using the classic xml files I can get this working. I am currently on holiday. End of next week I can provide some examples.

It may be not a bug, but an incomplete API.

Please provide examples

If I have a reference to an interface in my domain object

public virtual IModel Model { get; set; }

I can specify in my mapping

References<Model>(x => x.Model).Column("model_id"); 

and this works (since Model implements IModel). I need something similar for Dictionaries.

The implementation of the dictionary is as follows in Angle.cs

public virtual IDictionary<IUser, IUserAngle> AngleUsers
        {
            get
            {
                return _angleUsers;
            }
            set
            {
                _angleUsers = value;
            }
        }

The mapping in AngleMap.cs is

HasMany<UserAngle>(x => x.AngleUsers).Table("UserAngle").AsEntityMap("UserId").KeyColumn("AngleId").Cascade.All();

the mapping generated for this relation by FluentNhibernate is the following (intermediate) Angle.hbm.xml

<map cascade="all" name="AngleUsers" table="UserAngle">
      <key>
        <column name="AngleId" />
      </key>
      <index-many-to-many class="EveryAngle.Edgar.Domain.User.IUser, EveryAngle.Edgar.Domain, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null">
        <column name="UserId" />
      </index-many-to-many>
      <one-to-many class="EveryAngle.Edgar.Domain.User.IUserAngle, EveryAngle.Edgar.Domain, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />
    </map>

This should be (this works, tried it by doing the mapping with the Angles.hbm.xml) (Note the use of the class instead of the Interface)

<map cascade="all" name="AngleUsers" table="UserAngle">
      <key>
        <column name="AngleId" />
      </key>
      <index-many-to-many class="EveryAngle.Edgar.Domain.User.User, EveryAngle.Edgar.Domain, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null">
        <column name="UserId" />
      </index-many-to-many>
      <one-to-many class="EveryAngle.Edgar.Domain.User.UserAngle, EveryAngle.Edgar.Domain, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />
    </map>

In short the API does not have a way to specify the classes to use for the dictionary (in my opinion).

Ok, that's more like it, let's see what I can do to help.

Hi, would adding an AsEntityMap function to ManyToManyPart.cs help?

        public ManyToManyPart<TChild> AsEntityMap(Type indexType, string indexColumn, Type typeOfValue, string valueColumn)
        {
            return AsMap(null).AsTernaryAssociation(indexType, indexColumn,typeOfValue, valueColumn);
        }

This would allow me to specify the necessary types.
