Hello
Short and to the point, I have 3-level inheritance :public class JobBase
{
virtual public Guid Id { get; set; }
// Some properties here
}
public class Job:JobBase
{
// Some properties here
}
public class JobTypeX : Job
{
// Some properties here
}
public class JobTypeY : Job
{
// Some properties here
}
Mappings :
public class JobBaseMap : ClassMap<JobBase>
{
public JobBaseMap()
{
Id(p => p.Id);
//other mappings
}
}
public class JobMap : SubclassMap<Job>
{
public JobMap()
{
KeyColumn("JobBaseId");
//other mappings
}
}
public class JobTypeXMap : SubclassMap<JobTypeX>
{
public JobTypeXMap()
{
KeyColumn("JobBaseId");
//other mappings
}
}
public class JobTypeYMap : SubclassMap<JobTypeY>
{
public JobTypeYMap()
{
KeyColumn("JobBaseId");
//other mappings
}
}
Another class which uses Job
public class Person
{
virtual public Guid Id { get; set; }
virtual public Job MyJob { get; set; }
}
well, when I want to add a new Person I write somthing like :
Person person = new Person();
//set other properties
//jobId can be either JobTypeX's id or JobTypeY's id
person.MyJob = Repository<Job>.Get(jobId);
//surely, one of conditions is true
if (person.MyJob is JobTypeX)
{
//do something
}
else if (person.MyJob is JobTypeY)
{
//do sth else here

Repository<Person>.Save(person);
So far so good. It loads the same data by the code below :
Person person = Repository<Person>.Get(personId);
Although all the values of person.MyJob is correct when person is loaded, it cannot recognize the Job type anymore :
if (person.MyJob is JobTypeX) // false
{
//do something
}
else if (person.MyJob is JobTypeY) // false
{
//do sth else here
}
There are a few ways to get rid of this problem. For example, I can check whether JobBaseId is available in table JobTypeX or JobTypeY. but I guess something should be wrong somewhere!
do I miss something? any idea?
This is by design (see http://ayende.com/Blog/archive/2009/09/03/answer-the-lazy-loaded-inheritance-many-to-one-association-orm.aspx)
