Hi,
I’m using NHIbernate 2.1.0.4 and VB.NET with Oracle.
The primary key of the database table (called Component) I’m mapping with NHibernate is generated using two values stored in different tables (please do not ask me why… I’m struggling myself to understand the reason why somebody took this decision!).
So I thought to let the application assign the identifier by defining the id generator with class=”assigned”. I then intercept when the class is saved and set its id in the OnSave method of the interceptor.
However I get the following error when I try to flush the session:
identifier of an instance of DataModel.Component was altered from 0 to 166
Here’s the code I’m using:
Mapping
Code:
<hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" assembly=" DataModel" namespace="DataModel">
  <class name="Component" table="Component">
    <id name="ComponentId" column="ComponentId" type="Int32" unsaved-value="undefined">
      <generator class="assigned" />
    </id>
    <property name="Description" column="Description" type="string" length="100" not-null ="true"/>
   </class>
</hibernate-mapping>
Component class
Code:
Public Class Component
    Private _componentId As Integer
    Public Overridable Property ComponentId() As Integer
        Get
            Return _componentId
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Integer)
            _componentId = value
        End Set
    End Property
    Private _description As String
    Public Overridable Property Description() As String
        Get
            Return _description
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            _description = value
        End Set
    End Property
    Private _objectName As String
    Public Overridable ReadOnly Property ObjectName() As String
        Get
            Return _objectName
        End Get
    End Property
    Public Sub New()
    End Sub
    Public Sub New(ByVal objectName As String)
        _objectName = objectName
    End Sub
End Class
Interceptor
Code:
Public Class ComponentInterceptor
    Inherits EmptyInterceptor
    Public Overrides Function OnSave(ByVal entity As Object, ByVal id As Object, ByVal state() As Object, ByVal propertyNames() As String, ByVal types() As NHibernate.Type.IType) As Boolean
        If TypeOf (entity) Is Component Then
            CType(entity, Component).ComponentId = CreateNewId
        End If
        Return MyBase.OnSave(entity, id, state, propertyNames, types)
    End Function
End Class
Main function
Code:
Private Function CreateAndSaveSampleEntity() As Object
    Dim id As Object
    Dim entity As Component = CreateSample()
    id = session.Save(entity)
    session.Flush()
    session.Refresh(entity)
    Return id
End Function
Am I missing something very obvious?
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
