I'm trying to use NHibernate but not with xml mapping.....Just with attributes attached to properties...Is that possible? If yes, where can I find a very good documentation?...or how should I do?

Another question is if it's possible to use Castle Project with NHibernate 1.2 BETA.


Thx in advance

NHibernate attributes can be used without issue instead of the regular hbm.xml mapping files. The one thing I don't like about them is that the attributes clutter up the class files somewhat. The other minor issue is that the documentation isn't nearly is good as Hibernate's EJB 3 implementation. Here's some documentation though: http://nhibernate.sourceforge.net/nh-do ... butes.html

I believe there is a development version of Castle ActiveRecord that works with NHibernate 1.2 that you can probably pull from their source code repository. Ayende mentions that he has branched the ActiveRecord code base for NH1.2: http://www.ayende.com/Blog/ForTheAdvent ... ate12.aspx

The latest Castle ActiveRecord release still only works against NH1.0.2.

nope, we are now running on 1.2 b2 on the castle trunk
