Hi Ppl.

Could somebody please shed some light on why the following code and the
accompanying vax.cfg.xml file cause the Exception mentioned, "NHibernate.MappingException"? Thank You.

Secondly, Do I need the 'mapping' element in the XML file when I have the AddAssembly() call to the Configuration?

==============================================
Dim vaxSessionFactory As NHibernate.ISessionFactory = _
New Cfg.Configuration().AddAssembly("Vax-MT-Sema").Configure("vax.cfg.xml").BuildSessionFactory()

==============================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<hibernate-configuration xmlns="urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.0" >
<session-factory name="vax-SF">
<!-- properties -->
<property name="hibernate.connection.provider">NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">NHibernate.Driver.SqlClientDriver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.connection_string">Server=localhost;initial catalog=vax;Integrated Security=SSPI</property>
<property name="hibernate.show_sql">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.prepare_sql">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2000Dialect</property>
<property name="hibernate.use_outer_join">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.query.substitutions">true 1, false 0, yes 'Y', no 'N'</property>
<!-- mapping files -->
<!-- mapping assembly="Vax-MT-Sema" / -->
</session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>
===============================================

All right. I've figured it out. It took some *thinking* about what we're doing
instead of expecting it to 'just work'. I like that actually.

Configure() needs to be called before AddAssembly() :

Dim vaxSessionFactory As NHibernate.ISessionFactory = _
New Cfg.Configuration().Configure("vax.cfg.xml") _
.AddAssembly("Vax-MT-Sema") _
.BuildSessionFactory()

Good to note:
app.config-style files are not meant for Configure(String resource) :P

"Secondly, Do I need the 'mapping' element in the XML file when I have the
AddAssembly() call to the Configuration?"
Since it got things to work, I guess so.

Where did you put your vax.cfg.xml file. I am trying to do this, and it can't seem to find my file, which I named hibernate.cfg.xml.



I would expect not. Did you try it without that?

BOb

It goes in the same folder as the assembly.
As 'Embedded Resource' it didn't seem to work.



Okay. I did eventually. It still works it seems.
