This is stuff ive done lots of times before but my mind is just blanking at
the moment, i will try and give a simple overview of my current situation.
I currently have 3 tables as shown below:
Office > id, name
Person > id, name
Office_Personnel > office_id, person_id
I then have a model for Person (id, name) and Office, however
the Office model contains personnel information:
public class Office
{
int Id {get;set;}
string Name {get;set;}
ICollection<Person> Personnel {get;set;}
}
Mapping person is easy, but now im a bit stumped as to why office wont map properly. I chose to use a set when I was mapping
the Personnel as there shouldn't be any duplicates, however it doesn't seem to work as I would expect...
<set name="Personnel" table="office_personnel" cascade="all">
<key column="office_id" />
<one-to-many class="Person"/>
</set>
Now one thing that strikes me as odd is that there is no indication as to what person should be binding to (person_id). It keeps trying to find *office_id* column
within the Person table.
I'm sure this is just some simple problem and im being an idiot, but any help would be great!
On a side note, I was weighing up if I should even bother having a middle man table, as I could directly put an Office_Id column
within the Person table, but im not 100% sure if in my real project
the Person class could be in multiple Offices further down
the line...
