Hi all,

is there a way to get the type or something like that, when I only know the tablename?

Thanks in advanced.

There is no direct way that I am aware of. However, you can call ISessionFactory.GetAllClassMetadata() to obtain an IDictionary of Persisters (keyed by the mapped type). From the persisters, then, you can find out to which tables the types are mapped. Beware that if you use table-per-hierarchy inheritance, you will have more than one type mapped to the same table.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try it this way.
