Joined Subclass in separate assemblies

[Bobby Johnson]

I have the following solution project structure:

Application.Core.Entities
Application.Xtend.CustomerName.Entities

In the Core project I have an entity Customer defiend. In the XTend project, I have an entity defined that subclasses Customer. The idea here is that customer X can extended our bases classes to add extra fields or what not.

I am attempting to map this relationship in NHibernate. Using Fluent NHibernate I was able to generate this mapping. But NHib throws the following error:


NHibernate.MappingException: persistent class Application.Entites.xCustomer, Application.Core.Entites not found --->  System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Application.Entites.xCustomer' from assembly 'Application.Core.Entites, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'..

Which makes sense xCustomer is not defiend in the Core lib.

Is it possible to span different assemblies like this? Am I approaching the problem wrong?

Fluent NH is a fairly new project. This feature may not be supported
yet.
spike a test using traditional xml mappings to ensure it works. if it
does fluent NH doesn't support the feature.

I would assume it would not be difficult to create a patch.

I used Fluent NH to generate my XML mapping files for me. But am using the traditional approach now for testing purposes.

Based on the mapping file I linked, do you have suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

xCustomer needs the full object name.
name="A.B.C.xCustomer, A"

where A.B.C is the namespace and A is the assembly.

I believe this discussion has happened in the past on the Fluent-nhib list, all class names should really be assembly qualified names and I guess there are still a few places that haven't been fixed. That's what's happening here, you need the full "namespace.class, assembly" name.

Thanks Jason! As soon as I read your email, I couldn't believe how obvious it was. I made some modifications to Fluent-nhib and will be submitting a patch later today.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious to me. I really appreciate it.
