Question

I’ve the “AnagraficaBase” hbm file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2">
<class entity-name="AnagraficaBase" table="anagrafica">
<id name="ID" type="int" >
  <column name="ID" not-null="true" />
  <generator class="identity" />
</id>
<property name="Email" type="string" >
  <column name="Email" sql-type="varchar(255)" not-null="true" />
</property>
<one-to-one cascade="all" class="NetCms.Users.User" property-ref="AnagraficaMapped" name="User" />
<joined-subclass entity-name="Anagraficaprova" table="anagrafica_prova" >
  <key>
    <column name="id_anagrafica_prova" />
  </key>
  <property name="data di nascita" type="DateTime">
    <column name="data_di_nascita" sql-type="DateTime" not-null="true" />
  </property>
  <property name="nome" type="string">
    <column name="nome" sql-type="varchar(25)" not-null="true" />
  </property>
  <property name="dropdown test" type="string">
    <column name="dropdown_test" sql-type="varchar(255)" not-null="true" />
  </property>
  <bag name="profilo" table="anagrafica_prova_custom_field_checkboxlist_values" cascade="all" fetch="select">
    <key>
      <column name="IDanagrafica_prova" not-null="true" />
    </key>
    <many-to-many entity-name="CustomCheckboxListValue">
      <column name="IDcustom_field_checkboxlist_value" not-null="true" />
    </many-to-many>
  </bag>
</joined-subclass>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

I want to create an “Anagraficaprova” object with dynamic session (EntityMode.Map).
As you can see, I’ve a unidirectional many to many relation between “Anagraficaprova” and “CustomCheckboxListValue”.

So, when I do:

ISession mapSession = sess.GetSession(EntityMode.Map);

List<IDictionary> profiles = new List<IDictionary>();
Hashtable profilo1 = (Hashtable) mapSession.get("CustomCheckboxListValue",1);
profiles.add(profilo1);

Hashtable anagraficaProva = new Hashtable();
anagraficaProva.add("Email","test");
anagraficaProva.add("data di nascita", "08/10/1982");
anagraficaProva.add("nome","pippo");
anagraficaProva.add("dropdown test","1");

anagraficaProva.add("profilo", profiles);

mapSession.SaveOrUpdate("Anagraficaprova", anagraficaProva);

The anagraficaProva object is correctly saved, but the record in “anagrafica_prova_custom_field_checkboxlist_values” table (the couple: IDanagrafica_prova,IDcustom_field_checkboxlist_value) is not inserted.

Where is the problem?

Thank you…

In case someone else comes here.

NH inserts AnagraficaBase because it uses identity to get the id but batches the Inserts into table anagrafica_prova_custom_field_checkboxlist_values to insert them in one go later. But before they are sent to db the session is thrown away and therefor the batched Inserts.

mapSession.Flush(); after SaveOrUpdate tells NH to send all pending statements.
