I have an object called MyItem that references
children in the same item. How do I set up an nhibernate mapping file to store this item.
public class MyItem
{
public virtual string Id {get;set;}
public virtual string Name {get;set;}
public virtual string Version {get;set;}
public virtual IList<MyItem>
Children {get;set;}
}
So roughly the hbm.xml would be:
<class name="MyItem" table="tb_myitem">
<id name="Id" column="id" type="String" length="32">
<generator class="uuid.hex" />
</id>
<property name="Name" column="name" />
<property name="Version" column="version" />
<bag name="
Children" cascade="all-delete-orphan" lazy="false">
<key column="children_id" />
<one-to-many class="MyItem"
not-found="ignore"/>
</bag>
</class>
This wouldn't work I don't think. Perhaps I need to create another class, say MyItemChildren and use that as the
Children member and then do the mapping in that class?
This would mean having two tables. One table holds the MyItem and the other table holds references from my item. NOTE: A child item could have many parents.
