.net - NHIbernate NHibernate Attempts To Execute A Database Update During CreateQuery Execution?
Mar 10, 2010
Basically, I wish to fetch a filtered set of objects from the database (Oracle 9.2) based on the id property of the object PsalertsEvent. The code being executed is:
Public Overloads Function GetAll(ByVal laterThan As Long, ByVal filteredPsalertsEvents As IList) As IList Implements IPsalertsEventRepo.GetAll
'Get all psalerts events with an ID greater then the specified laterThan parameter
filteredPsalertsEvents = MyBase.NHibernateSession.CreateQuery("from PsalertsEvent p where p.id > " & laterThan).List
I just read this article about the Entity Framework 4 (actually version 2).Entity Framework seems to offer a huge improvement over its first release. Thus, I have never ever used EF in any project, since I think EF is not mature enough in comparison to NHibernate.NHibernate and its current contributions of FluentNHibernate and Linq for NHibernate by Ayende RahienMy feeling is that Microsoft is solely trying to gain terrain it has lost in favor of NHibernate when the 2nd version of NHibernate came out.Nevertheless, my concerns are the followings (not in particular order):Will EF4 tend to be less XML-verbose?Will EF4 be compatible with other underlying datastore than just SQL Server?What are the greatest benefits of going with EF4 instead of FluentNHibernate or NHibernate itself.
NHibernate is a great tool, I guess everyone agrees. Due to its predecessor Hibernate, we may easily find documentions and tutorials and sample applications to get acquainted with it. This is not the case for FluentNHibernate. Particularly as per the project I'm working on right now which demands that I investigate further about NHibernate and its options (FluentNHibernate for instance) in order to document the rules of usage and the best practices of NHibernat and FluentNHibernate technology. Thus, being handcuffed with VB.NET, being a C-Style developer, I can't find some syntax equivalencies in VB.NET for the examples provided, though I made I way so far
I would like to ask if you can use VB.NET for NHibernate and Fluent Nhibernate?I have searched the web, but I can't seem to get a detailed or explicit statement that tells that one can use VB.NET for NHibernate and with Fluent.
Many of the samples in the NHibernate site are made in C#. That's why I was wondering if I can't use VB.NET when using NHibernate.
I am using Visual Studio 2010 with NHibernate 3.1 and using Fluent NHibernate for mapping. It has been working well, and with the ShowSql enabled it shows all the select queries.
I have gotten to the portion of the program where I am performing some updates, but they don't show. At first I thought the updates weren't getting triggered even though i was using an explicit transaction - but the data was getting changed in the database. So - somehow, the queries are being executed, but not shown in the Output window of Visual Studio.
It turns out I was mixing two answers together. Log4Net is not needed at all to produce UPDATE statements from NHibernate in the output window.
Setting AdoNetBatchSize(0) in conjunction with ShowSQL DID resolve the problem.
The tables described herein both utilize composite keys. I have a parent table that stores eligibility information per "case". The child table stores eligibility information regarding each individual associated with the case. The child records are differentiated by pin number to make them unique in the child table only.
I am using NHibernate v3.1 with Fluent NHibernate v1.2, both acquired via NuGet packages. The entities are mapped in using the Fluent NHibernate auto-mapper functionality. Any custom mapping is done in the mapping override method for each entity.
Another thing to know is that these tables do not have a "primary key" defined in DB2. They only have "unique keys", which are what you see in the composite key definition below (see code).
T0026_AG_ELIG is the name of the parent table and the corresponding POCO class. T0265_AG_IN_ELIG is the name of the child table and the corresponding POCO class.
Problem:
The problem is that when I execute the query, all the data is queried, the parent record is successfully mapped to the class, but the returned child rows do not map into the collection on the parent class. NHibernate does generate the queries for the parent and child data. When I execute my own query against the database, the correct data for the conditions does come back. For some reason, the child records are just not being bound to the property on the parent (T0026) class.
Question:
What do I need to do to get the multiple rows coming back from T0265_AG_IN_ELIG to map to their corresponding class and load properly into the specified collection property on the parent class (T0026_AG_ELIG)?
Collection Property of Parent (T0026_AG_ELIG):
Public Overridable Property IndividualEligibilityRecords As IList(Of T0265_AG_IN_ELIG) Mapping Override for Parent (T0026_AG_ELIG): mapping.CompositeId() _
how to use nHibernate with Vb.net using all the examples online(which are in C#) to learn. Which has been fine for the basics, but now I'm trying to learn how to use QueryOver's JoinAlias, and going from C# to VB.net is difficult. I've been using this page's answer as a reference, but I'm still having trouble converting an example like that to Vb.net.
I'm struggling with getting Linq To NHibernate to work.I have referenced NHibernate, NHibernate.Linq and NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle . Also I have all other dependencies in the same folder.
Code / Error message:
Public Function GetProjectsByName(ByVal ProjectName As String) As List(Of Project) Return (From x In _session.Linq(Of Project)() Where x.Name.Equals(Project))
End Function[code]....
... tells me that the LINQ extensions aren't loaded. Using NHibernate.Linq seems to be made in a way that it's incredibly easy to use, hence there are no tutorials on how to set it up. (Or at least I couldn't find any).
I have a repository class that defines some basic Get/Save/Delete methods. Inside these, I use NHibernate to do the work on my business entities. For example:
[code]...
However, on my User class I have some properties and collections of other objects that ideally I'd like to be lazy loaded. But of course, the ISession is created and disposed within the repository, which I guess is why, outside of that, when I try to access those properties I get a "Could not initialize proxy - no Session" error.Is my only option then to disable lazy loading when using repositories? Or is it possible (or just foolish) to somehow get the session into scope in the business layer?I do like the repository model, and NHibernate is growing on me (after lots of initial frustration trying to make it work), so what's the best way you gurus have found of using them together?
I am having some redundant primary key issues.I have an Item which contains many reports. I have mapped them as shown below. I can do Session.QueryOver(Of Item).List and there are no extra columns generated. I can also do Session.QueryOver(Of Report).List and there are no extra columns generated.
However, once I try to traverse the relationship from Item to Reports, I get the SQL query shown below. Can anyone tell me why?
I am starting on the NHibernate world and i am experimenting with the NHibernate CookBook recipes, i am trying to set a base entity class for my entities and this is the C# code for this. I would like to know whats the VB.NET version so i can implement it in my sample project
I am getting an "ArgumentOutOfRangeException" on parameter index whenever I try to instantiate a session factory in nHibernate. The error comes from a procedure deep in the bowels of nHibernate. This is on a fresh project with a pretty simple three tier architecture. The data layer maps the nHibernate classes to simple interfaces which are implemented by the business layer.Currently there is only one interface set and mapping file being used by nHibernate. Hopefully my issue is easy to spot.
Here is the function where I build the sessionFactory.
Private Shared Function SessionFactory() As ISessionFactory If _sessionFactory Is Nothing Then Dim config As New NHibernate.Cfg.Configuration config.Configure()
[code]....
Edit2: When I remove the discriminator I no longer get this error. Am I not doing that right?
Edit 3: When I download the source code for nHibernate, build it on my own, link to it's debug output and run it, I get a completely different error about ProxyFactoryFactory not being configured.
Because there is so little information about VB.Net and (Fluent) NHibernate to be found, I decided to write this question to all other developers finding themselves looking for more information.On of the things i had to struggle with was how to Ignore properties in NHibernate.The reason i had to ignore properties was because we used a Webserivce which cannot serialize Interface classes (ILists). Which are used a lot with NHibernate.
Well i have been fighting with this for a little bit now, and i can't seem to find a solution for something it should be really simple. I got a class ( really simple class ) i got the hbm.xml ( SET AS EMBEDDED RESOURCE ) i got the config file set for SQLite but i still get the [Class] Is not mapped.Here is where the error comes up, when i run this:
Public Sub LoadCentersFromDatabase() Try Dim session As ISession = OpenSession() Dim query As IQuery = session.CreateQuery("from Center")
I've been using c# for the past year and I enjoy the power you get with Fluent NHibernate. One question that I get from friends is "nice but how can vb.net programmers use this?"So for example- the below is a c# mapping class. How would someone do this with vb.net?
public class PostMap : ClassMap<post> { public PostMap() { Table("Posts");
I am attempting to bind objects pulled from an NHibernate session to a DataGridView and am having problems.I have a single session in which I fetch all of my "look-up" items that are bound to a combobox column, and then I query for the objects themselves. omehow, this still results in proxy child objects on the main objects. I have even changed the mapping of the look-up items to eager fetch, but I still get proxies somehow.Here is how I am fetching the objects:
Dim _makes As IList(Of Make) = session.QueryOver(Of Make).List Dim _models As IList(Of Model) = session.QueryOver(Of Model).List Dim _cars as IList(of Car) = session.QueryOver(of Car).List
Question: I get an exception serializing this class to a nHibernate xml file ({"Could not determine type for: System.Drawing.Image, System.Drawing, for columns:NHibernate.Mapping.Column(Settings)"}).
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text;
Instinctively, I would say that this is impossible, as NHibernate needs to know some mapping information on how to persist a given type. Thus, I encountered some situations in which I could use such a feature. For instance, through a named query or something like so. On the other hand, using a named query would require me to make an addition to the configuration file.
Let's suppose we have an application interacting with some underlying datastore. This datastore is configured through the NHibernate configuration file. Then, I wish to have NHibernate load only a subset of an entity properties, from another subsystem to which my application shouldn't need to interact much, so it is not worthy to define classes for this system, as I only need a fraction of this alien system's information, let's say three out of thirty-two data columns. For that matter, if I chose to load only those three columns let's say for performance concerns, I would then use an anonymous type, perform the required action onto this information, then persist it back to the datastore. Now, it wouldn't be of much interest to do so if I only had one entity to get loaded from the datastore, so let's say I have about 75,000 rows to load into my process. I then shall consider this subset option very seriously!
What strategy should you choose in such situation, if you needed to persist these changes to a subset only of this entity's properties?FYI: I am asking because I must write specific rules of usage with NHibernate, such rules that even a beginner developer would even be able to use it without knowing too much about NHibernate, but only following the rules and guidance of the technical documents I have to produce.
I am using Fluent NHibernate to map an Oracle database. It is a legacy database so I cant really change everything I want.There is a GUID field, but the keys are still composite (I will change this as soon as I can so that the keys are not composite, but I cant do it right now). The GUID is a VARCHAR2 field with this layout: 551608b1-275d-49f6-9561-44d01aacf23f. The GUID is not added by a sequence in Oracle, but inserted from code (C# or VB.net)[code]Is the problem that I dont use a sequence to generate my GUID? How can I overcome this?
I have a read-only mssql-view, and I want to map it to nhibernate (using hbm.xml files). The view is a select that joins two tables. For give an abstract-insight, the select is something like this:
SELECT A.Id As A_ID, B.Id As B_ID, A.AttributeA, B.AttributeB, FROM A INNER JOIN B ON A.Id = B.RootID
It's a one-to-many relationship between A and B (B entries are dependant/leafs of A entries).
I'm using nhibernate's hbm.xml files, and I can't make it to work. I'd gladly appreciate if someone can enlight me of the kind of XML that I have to use, I guess that as my view has no ID, I have to create a composite-nhibernate id (wich will be the ids os A and B together) but I couldn't make it to work. Also the view is READ ONLY so I think that should make the solution easier.
I'm writing a solution where the data entities are passed to clients using datasets through a WCF service, with nHibernate as ORM. My predecessor has written some translator classes, converting datasets to entities and vice versa. In most cases he's declared the return object as a parameter for the object.
For example:
Public Shared Function CreateEntity(ByVal ds As DataSetObject, ByVal entity As EntityObject) As EntityObject Dim row As ds.EntityObjectRow = ds.EntityObject(0) entity.Id = row.Id
[code]....
He's not with the company anymore, so I can't ask him why he's done it this way. Hence my question here. Is there some performance gain, or traceablity thing with nHibernate by using the first implementation rather than the latter?
I am trying to learn OOD/OOP and read on the net that I am not supposed convert SQL tables into classes. But I cannot find an explanation why not to do it or which tables to skip. So I made an web application based on the below diagram. It works perfectly well. But I do not use OO. which table should not be mapped into a class and why not. do not use LINQ or NHibernate, etc as I do not understand them. I just need to understand the OOD.
I am using Fluent NHibernate to map out an existing database. For this reason - automapping isn't an option for me.How do I tell NHibernate not to map certain properties? Many of them are read-only, and the others do not need to be persisted for other reasons.
I am writing this in VB.Net.I get the typical error message:"The following types may not be used as proxies should be 'public/protected virtual' or 'protected internal virtual'"I have purposely not made my objects Overridable (equivalent to virtual in C#) because I do not want NHibernate to touch them.
I'm a C# programmer constrained to write VB.NET code.While exploring NHibernate further for my current client, I encountered FluentNHibernate, which I find real attractive.But now, I wonder how to "translate" this C# code for component mapping into VB.NET code:
what I miss is how to continue with the brackets in VB.NET, since there's no Begin End keywords or so.
EDIT 1: Following Mr. JaredPar instructions, I figured that his solution might work. If we take the time to read his answer, we may notice that we both don't know what the MType is within his solution. I might have found out that the MType is:
Thus, TComponent is, from my understanding, an anonymous type that I shall parameter to use. From this point of view, since I wish to map the properties of my Address object, replacing TComponent in my help method signature seems not to work.
Private Sub MapAdresseHelper(Of Adresse)(ByVal a As FluentNHibernate.Mapping.ComponentPart(Of Adresse)) a.Map(Function(m) m.Number) a.Map(Function(m) m.Street).Length(50)
[code]...
The error I get is that my Address class doesn't have a property member named Street, for instance. It sees my Address type, it recognizes it, but it seems buggy somehow. I guess VBNET is poorly designed for lambda expressions and is less evolved than C#?
If I have a parent object (Parent) which has a List(Of Child) objects as a many-one relationship. Is it possible to return a Parent with a subset of it's child objects (eagerly loaded)? I am using VB and Criteria.
e.g. If Parent 1 has 50 children (20 type X 30 type Y) and I want to return the Parent with a collection containing only type X.
I only want a collection with a size of 20 with it's eagerly loaded children?
I have issue with a Nhibernate projection list, It keeps saying it Could not find a setter for property 'Commname' in class 'Label6.Domain.Product' or could not resolve property "pl.commname" the property "commname" is a part of the object productslangs.
My product object looks like this: Public Overridable Property Latinname() As System.String Get Return _Latinname End Get Set(ByVal value As System.String) [Code] .....
I'm trying to implement unit tests for my NHibernate data access layer. The first test, which I drew from an example I found on the web [URL] is just trying to recreate the database using my domain classes/mappings. I've been able to get this sample working in C# (Product table is created in database) but not when I implement it in VB.NET.I have two projects, Todd.Core (containing Product class and Product.hbm.xml mapping) and Todd.Core.Test (containing Test Fixture and NHibernate configuration). When I attempt to run this test using MBUnit GUI I get this message (line 10 is the call to the .Configure method):
Message: Could not compile the mapping document: Todd.Core.Product.hbm.xml
I am developing a windows forms smart client that uses Fluent Nhibernate 1.1 and NHibernate 3.0 for persistence. Due to legacy code I have had no option but to create a single session that handles all client level CRUD operations. This tends to leave the Nhibernate session in a stale state. So I have made the decision to use QueryOver to eliminate this stale data issue, as I was under the impression that query results were not cached. This doesn't seem to be the happening as the results returned from NHibernate seem to be cached. My question is does the default implementation of QueryOver use some sort of caching when the results are returned?
