I need a way to determine the name of the column used by NHibernate to join one-to-many collections from the collected entity's type.
I need to be able to determine this at runtime.
Here is an example: I have some entities:
namespace Entities
{
public class Stable {
public
virtual int Id {get; set;}
public
virtual string StableName {get; set;}
public
virtual IList<Pony> Ponies { get; set; }
}
public class Dude {
public
virtual int Id { get; set; }
public
virtual string DudesName { get; set; }
public
virtual IList<Pony> PoniesThatBelongToDude { get; set; }
}
public class Pony {
public
virtual int Id {get; set;}
public
virtual string Name {get; set;}
public
virtual string Color { get; set; }
}
}
I am using NHibernate to generate the database schema, which comes out looking like this:
create table "Stable" (Id integer, StableName TEXT, primary key (Id))
create table "Dude" (Id integer, DudesName TEXT, primary key (Id))
create table "Pony" (Id integer, Name TEXT, Color TEXT, Stable_id INTEGER, Dude_id INTEGER, primary key (Id))
Given that I have a Pony entity in my code, I need to be able to find out:
A. Does Pony even belong to a collection in the mapping?
B. If it does, what are the column names in the database table that pertain to collections
In the above instance, I would like to see that Pony has two collection columns, Stable_id and Dude_id.
