plz, can i use hibernate java types (like int,big_decimal..., NOT : Int16...) in a Nhibernate mapping file????

NB: I've no probleme using hibernate java types to generate c# code with hbm2net.

NHibernate runs on .NET...

Read: NHibernate Types

Thk u KPixel for ur reply.

I know that Nhibernate runs on .Net, but like i said before with Hbm2Net we can use Java types in mapping files...

The problem is that I must use hibernate mapping file (java), There is a solution or must I convert hibernate mapping file to Nhibernate mapping file ??????

Thx a lot.

I was thinking that the mapping file of NHibernate is the same as the one of Hibernate. Having kept one standard mapping file for both could be much reasonable decision. the types in the mapping file should be logical and not related to any language. Nhibernate/Hibernate should then be able to use the specific types according to the language. Well, here is a request to whom it concerns to merge and standardy hibernate/nhibernate inputs.

hmm - is the logical hibernate type names not the same as in hibernate ? They should be...any good reason why they aren't ?

Many types in NHibernate have Java-compatible synonyms: binary, boolean, byte, character, locale (CultureInfo in .NET), big_decimal (Decimal in .NET), short, integer, long, etc. (See TypeFactory.cs source for a list).

Do you propose we add "int" also? Which other types? I'm not against it, can you please create a JIRA issue? :)

the "rule" in Hibernate have been to have lower case names for "logical hibernate types" and users could also put in java specific types which then would be with capital letters.

I assume nhibernate should follow the same rules...will that be too non-.net in your opinion ? Have the logical names been uppercased in the conversion ?

Created NH-497 to add "int" and "datetime".
