Hi all,

I am currently working on NHibernate 1.2 for my Project.
I was able to save my transaction using save(caseObject) for Single Entity.If i try the same for entity collection save(caseObjectCollectionb), I am unable to achieve it.

The reason behind targeting this bulk insert, is to minimise the hit to the database.By getting support to bulk insert(say 5 or 15 records) the number of hits to the database is reduced to 1 rather than depending on the number of records.

Here with I have provided samples.

Normal Save Entity:

public virtual Result Save(Case objCase)
{
try
{
this.OpenSession();
this.BeginTransaction();
session.Save(objCase);

this.CommitTransaction();
return new Result(true);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return new Result(false,ApplicationManager.StackExceptionMessages(ex),ex);
}
finally
{
}
}

Saving an EntityCollection:

public virtual Result Save(CaseCollection objCaseCollection)
{
try
{
this.OpenSession();
this.BeginTransaction();

session.Save((IList)objCaseCollection);

this.CommitTransaction();
return new Result(true);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
this.RollbackTransaction();
return new Result(false, ApplicationManager.StackExceptionMessages(ex), ex);
}
finally
{
}
}

When i try to save this EntityCollection, I am getting this ERROR
"Unknon Entity Class".


Please give me your thoughts, what i am missing or wrong.
Let me know any further clarification needed.

Thanks

I've never heard of this being supported, and the error you got would appear to indicate that it isn't. That is, that "CaseCollection" is not a mapped class.

Even if it were, it would be no more efficient than you iterating over the collection yourself:
