NHibernate 3.2 many to many mapping by code


I'm trying to learn NHibernate 3.2 built-in mapping by code api (NOT FluentNHibernate, nor xml). Can you help me to map a many-to-many relationship between these entities please?

public class Post {
    public virtual Id { get; set; }
    public IList<Tag> Tags { get; set; }
}

public class Tag {
    public virtual Id { get; set; }
    public IList<Post> Posts { get; set; }
}

My primary key strategy is:

Id( 
    t => t.Id, 
    t => { 
        t.Generator(Generators.HighLow, g => g.Params(new { max_low = 100 })); 
        t.Column(typeof(TEntity).Name + "Id"); 
    });

and I try this:

// TagMap : ClassMapping<Tag>
Bag(t => t.Posts, bag => {
    bag.Inverse(true);
    bag.Table("TagsPosts");
    bag.Cascade(Cascade.DeleteOrphans);
}, t => t.ManyToMany(c => {
    c.Column("PostId");
    c.Lazy(LazyRelation.Proxy);
})); 

// PostMap : ClassMapping<Post>
Bag(t => t.Tags, bag => {
    bag.Table("TagsPosts");
    bag.Cascade(Cascade.DeleteOrphans);
}, t => t.ManyToMany(c => {
    c.Column("TagId");
    c.Lazy(LazyRelation.Proxy);
}));

but it doesn't work.


Solution

  • // Post Map
    Bag(x => x.Tags, collectionMapping =>
                    {
                        collectionMapping.Table("TagPosts");
                        collectionMapping.Cascade(Cascade.None);
                        collectionMapping.Key(k => k.Column("PostID"));
                    },
                        map => map.ManyToMany(p => p.Column("TagID")));
    
    // Tag Map
    Bag(x => x.Posts, collectionMapping =>
                                             {
                                                 collectionMapping.Table("TagPosts");
                                                 collectionMapping.Cascade(Cascade.None);
                                                 collectionMapping.Key(k => k.Column("TagID"));
                                             },
                    map => map.ManyToMany(p => p.Column("PostID")));
