Question

I have a class that I need to map that looks a bit like this

public class Foo 
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

            // other stuff

    public IDictionary<Bar, decimal> Bars { get; set; }
}

my question is how can I map this with NHibernate, I was thinking I can treat the dictionary as a HasMany, since I can recreate a Bar from a string, however it feels a bit crude and I wonder if there is a better way

cheers

Answer 1

<map name="Bars">
  <key column="..." />
  <map-key-many-to-many class="Bar" />
  <element type="String" /><!--or decimal, or anything else-->
</map>
