Hello everybody,

for generating the domain objects I am using the hbm2net tool. Unfortunately I have some difficulties concerning Nullable types and proxies:
Proxies: The properties are not marked with virtual so I have to do an extra search & replace after each code generation.
Nullables: Having the following property

the generated property has also the type "Nullables.NHibernate.NullableDateTimeType" instead of "Nullables.NullableDateTime".

Are there some specific parameters I have to pass or are these two features (Nullables, proxies) not yet supported by hbm2net?

Hi rainerh,

I'm new to nhibernate too, but I fixed this two issues by changing the hbm2net application.
I wonder why no one else has these problems?! And why no one has answered to this question!

I changed file FieldProperty.cs line 132 to
..

and


in file ClassMapping.cs Line 584 of the NHibernate.Tool.hbm2net.Console-2.0 project.
I recompiled the app and this worked fine for me, but this is just a temp. solution. I'm also interested in finding out to do it right.

Ciao

Hello!
Does anybody know, how to generate with virtual modifier?
I think, change source of hbm2net is not right method...

Hi

you can specify inside each id, property and set a meta tag like



But it looks very ugly (my opinion) in the xml and for me it looks like this is a bug in hbm2net because nHibernate needs this virtual declaration.

This and some other problems leads to, that I don't use hbm2net any more and code my classes on my own.
So far I didn't found any tool that generate class and hbm.xml files in that way I need it.
Especially if the database makes us of xref tables with additional columns or derived classes (tables).

But if someone has a good tip.. I still loking for good tools that make live easier ;-)

Ciao

Hello!
If you want each property of the generated class to have "public virtual" modifier, you can use another renderer of hbm2net: BasicRenderer. The default renderer is VelocityRenderer.
You have to provide a config xml file (e.g. hbm2net.config.xml) to change the renderer:

Call hbm2net on command line by:

Hope it helps.
