Hello,

Can anybody tell me, please, whether it is possible to declare access="nosetter.*" in a field mapping of collection type (e.g. IList) so that reflection optimizer could apply to the mapped class? If yes, what is wrong in the example below where reflection optimizer becomes disabled?
I tried to map classes like
Hibernate version:
1.0.2.0
Mapping documents:

However this results in an NRE exception while building session factory, which effectively disables reflection optimizer for Foo.
Debug level Hibernate log excerpt:
NHibernate.Persister.GetSetHelperFactory.CreateGetSetHelper [4952] INFO - Disabling reflection
optimizer for class Sample.Foo
NHibernate.Persister.GetSetHelperFactory.CreateGetSetHelper [4952] DEBUG - CodeDOM compilation failed
Exception: System.NullReferenceException
Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source: NHibernate at NHibernate.Persister.GetSetHelperFactory.GenerateCode() in C:\net\nHibernate-1.0.2.0\src\NHibernate\Persister\GetSetHelperFactory.cs:line 241

Thanks in advance

The optimizer only works with the default "property" access method. With "nosetter.*", there's no way for the optimizer to assign values to your object. You can keep your desired mapping, which is good I think, but NHibernate will have to use reflection to set the values of your class members.

Thanks a lot!
Is it possible then to expose the collection as read-only like this:


I thought that declaring access="nosetter.." means that writes to Boos are made via reflected field Foo._boos, while reads are made via Foo.Boos property. Access to other members is optimized though. However it seems it disables optimizer for the whole class (as side-effect I guess). Is it true?

Many Thanks

Have you tried this version of NHibernate? It has a different reflection optimizer implementation that may work. I haven't tested in that scenario, though.

Yes, as I understand it the reflection optimizer is all or nothing for a class. You might try the other optimizer implementation mentioned by smudges - please post your experience with it.
