I need to programmatically access the "table" attribute for a given mapped class, in order to provide a generic "assigned" key generator. The key generator has to work this way for legacy reasons :(

Looking at the NHibernate API documentation, the session factory has a method called GetClassMetadata, which returns NHibernate.Metadata.IClassMetadata. Unfortunately, I don't see a property for the table attribute.

Is there any way to get this value through the API (or even the raw XML for the class mapping?)

OK, I found it ...

NHibernate.Cfg.Configuration has a method called GetClassMapping, which returns NHibernate.Mapping.PersistentClass. All the table and column details are accessible from there.

:?: Why would NHibernate.Cfg.Configuration.GetClassMapping and NHibernate.ISessionFactory.GetClassMetadata return different types, the latter being incomplete?
