Getting error "Association references unmapped class" when using interfaces in model
- by Bjarke
I'm trying to use the automap functionality in fluent to generate a
DDL for the following model and program, but somehow I keep getting
the error "Association references unmapped class: IRole" when I call
the GenerateSchemaCreationScript method in NHibernate. When I replace
the type of the ILists with the implementation of the interfaces (User
and Role) everything works fine. What am I doing wrong here? How can I
make fluent use the implemented versions of IUser and IRole as defined
in Unity?
public interface IRole
{
   string Title { get; set; }
   IList<IUser> Users { get; set; }
}
   public interface IUser
   {
       string Email { get; set; }
       IList<IRole> Roles { get; set; }
   }
public class Role : IRole
{
   public virtual string Title { get; set; }
   public virtual IList<IUser> Users { get; set; }
}
public class User : IUser
{
   public virtual string Email { get; set; }
   public virtual IList<IRole> Roles { get; set; }
}
I use the following program to generate the DDL using the
GenerateSchemaCreationScript in NHibernate:
class Program
{
   static void Main(string[] args)
   {
       var ddl = new NHibernateSessionManager();
       ddl.BuildConfiguration();
   }
}
   public class NHibernateSessionManager
   {
       private ISessionFactory _sessionFactory;
       private static IUnityContainer _container;
       private static void InitContainer()
       {
           _container = new UnityContainer();
           _container.RegisterType(typeof(IUser), typeof(User));
           _container.RegisterType(typeof(IRole), typeof(Role));
       }
       public ISessionFactory BuildConfiguration()
       {
           InitContainer();
           return
Fluently.Configure().Database(MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2008
                .ConnectionString("ConnectionString"))
                .Mappings(m => m.AutoMappings.Add(
                    AutoMap.AssemblyOf<IUser>()))
                .ExposeConfiguration(BuildSchema)
                .BuildSessionFactory();
       }
       private void BuildSchema(Configuration cfg)
       {
           var ddl = cfg.GenerateSchemaCreationScript(new
NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2008Dialect());
           System.IO.File.WriteAllLines("Filename", ddl);
       }
   }
