Question

I am using FluentHibernate and Automapping. My classes are

public class Student
{
  public Student()
  {
    Books = new List<Book>(); 
  }
  public virtual int Id{get;private set;}
  public virtual string Name{get;set;}
  public virtual IList<Book> Books { get; private set; }
}

public class Book
{
  public  Book (){} 
  public virtual int Id{get;private set;}
  public virtual string Name{get;set;}
}

Now, I create book objects and to a student object, and call save.
Book b = new Book();
b.Name = "test"
Book b1 = new Book();
b2.Name = "test1" 

Student student = new Student();
student.Books.Add(b);
student.Books.Add(b1);
session.saveorupdate(student);

Only student is saved not the books. What am I doing wrong?

You need to add Cascade.SaveUpdate() to your automapping file. It should look something like:

HasMany(x => x.Books).Cascade.All();
