Hello Nikola, thank you for great article. I definitely start to love this approach as a good alternative.

But could you please compare it with the mapping attributes approach? It seems to me refactoring-friendly and strong-typed as well.

The code doesn't work now.

NHibernate: INSERT INTO ReferencePersons (SurName, FirstName, Id) VALUES (@p0, @p1, @p2); @p0 = 'Malovic', @p1 = 'Nikola', @p2 = '7a61dfdc-e781-4f2b-803b-9c8500a7ecc6'

CustomerId is missing from the NHibernate INSERT statement.

ScottC,

I just double checked and the zip archive is not empty (it has source code , dlls etc)

Here's the direct link (same like the one in blog post )

In case you would still have problems please let me know and I'll email you the source

I used the fluent API maybe two weeks ago. Some scenarios possible (and used by us) in the XML were not covered, and we got stuck. Alternatively the lack of docs lead to the same effect. I like the approach, but as long as it doesn't cover all of XML I'd rather not use it.

Martin,

in order to use attributes in Domain project, one will be required to reference NHibernate into domain project, which is considered by some people as case of infrastructure leaking to domain.

As NHibernate 2.0 should have all Hibernate 3.2 features, it should have also attribute based configuration.

But I don't know if original addin www.hibernate.org/.../mapping-attributes.html made it into core.

Good post and great framework, if well implemented could be a fast way to implement NHibernate without fighting with the XML configuration files.

I have a huge domain more than 100 entities and I'm going mad with the XML configuration files.
