I have the following
domain set up for persistence with NHibernate:
I am using the PaperConfiguration as the root aggregate.
I want to select all PaperConfiguration objects for a given Tier and AcademicYearConfiguration. This works really well as per the following example:
ICriteria criteria =
session.CreateCriteria<PaperConfiguration>()
.Add(Restrictions.Eq("AcademicYearConfiguration", configuration))
.CreateCriteria("Paper")
.CreateCriteria("Unit")
.CreateCriteria("Tier")
.Add(Restrictions.Eq("Id", tier.Id))
return criteria.List<PaperConfiguration>();
(Perhaps there is a better way of doing this though).
Yet also need to know how many ReferenceMaterials there are for each PaperConfiguration and I would like to get it in the same call. Avoid HQL - I already have an HQL solution for it.
I know this is what projections are for and this question suggests an idea but I can't get it to work.
I have a PaperConfigurationView that has, instead of IList<ReferenceMaterial> ReferenceMaterials the ReferenceMaterialCount and was thinking along the lines of
ICriteria criteria =
session.CreateCriteria<PaperConfiguration>()
.Add(Restrictions.Eq("AcademicYearConfiguration", configuration))
.CreateCriteria("Paper")
.CreateCriteria("Unit")
.CreateCriteria("Tier")
.Add(Restrictions.Eq("Id", tier.Id))
.SetProjection(
Projections.ProjectionList()
.Add(Projections.Property("IsSelected"), "IsSelected")
.Add(Projections.Property("Paper"), "Paper")
// and so on for all relevant properties
.Add(Projections.Count("ReferenceMaterials"), "ReferenceMaterialCount")
.SetResultTransformer(Transformers.AliasToBean<PaperConfigurationView>());
return criteria.List< PaperConfigurationView >();
unfortunately this does not work. What am I doing wrong?
The following simplified query:
ICriteria criteria =
session.CreateCriteria<PaperConfiguration>()
.CreateCriteria("ReferenceMaterials")
.SetProjection(
Projections.ProjectionList()
.Add(Projections.Property("Id"), "Id")
.Add(Projections.Count("ReferenceMaterials"), "ReferenceMaterialCount")
).SetResultTransformer(Transformers.AliasToBean<PaperConfigurationView>());
return criteria.List< PaperConfigurationView >();
creates this rather unexpected SQL:
SELECT
this_.Id as y0_,
count(this_.Id) as y1_
FROM
Domain.PaperConfiguration this_
inner join
Domain.ReferenceMaterial referencem1_
on this_.Id=referencem1_.PaperConfigurationId
The above query fails with ADO.NET error as it obviously is not a correct SQL since it is missing a group by or the count being count(referencem1_.Id) rather than (this_.Id).
