I am new to NHibernate and I am having trouble mapping the following relationships within this class.
public class Category : IAuditable
{
public virtual int Id { get; set; }
public virtual string Name{ get; set; }
public virtual Category ParentCategory { get; set; }
public virtual IList<Category> SubCategories { get; set; }
public Category()
{
this.Name = string.Empty;
this.SubCategories = new List<Category>();
}
}
Class Maps (although, these are practically guesses)
public class CategoryMap : ClassMap<Category>
{
public CategoryMap()
{
Id(x => x.Id);
Map(x => x.Name);
References(x => x.ParentCategory)
.Nullable()
.Not.LazyLoad();
HasMany(x => x.SubCategories)
.Cascade.All();
}
}
Each Category may have a parent category, some Categories have many subCategories, etc, etc I can get the Category to Save correctly (correct subcategories and parent category fk exist in the database) but when loading, it returns itself as the parent category.
I am using Fluent for the class mapping, but if someone could point me in the right direction for just plain NHibernate that would work as well.
