How to look up an NHibernate entity's table mapping from the type of the entity?
- by snicker
Once I've mapped my domain in NHibernate, how can I reverse lookup those mappings somewhere else in my code?
Example:
The entity Pony is mapped to a table named "AAZF1203" for some reason. (Stupid legacy database table names!) I want to find out that table name from the NH mappings using only the typeof(Pony) because I have to write a query elsewhere.
How can I make the following test pass?
private const string LegacyPonyTableName = "AAZF1203";
[Test]
public void MakeSureThatThePonyEntityIsMappedToCorrectTable()
{
string ponyTable = GetNHibernateTableMappingFor(typeof(Pony));
Assert.AreEqual(LegacyPonyTableName, ponyTable);
}
In other words, what does the GetNHibernateTableMappingFor(Type t) need to look like?
