Fluent NHibernate AutoMapping throws "StaleStateException" when try to Commit a List<>


The following code throws a StaleStateException exception when the Order.OrderItems property (an IList) is Commited. The full text of the exception is:

An unhandled exception of type 'NHibernate.StaleStateException' occurred in NHibernate.dll

Additional information: Unexpected row count: 0; expected: 1

I've just started using NHibernate, and this means absolutely nothing to me. Can anyone explain what's wrong?

Most of the code is appended below. Sorry it's so much, but I figured that's better than maybe leaving out something important.

If I comment out the line OrderItems = orderItems, everything else works fine.

Solution

  • Since posting the question, I've learned that the easiest way to get cascading saves is to add a DefaultCascade convention.

    See the section in the code below that starts "var autoPersistanceModel = ..."

        private static ISessionFactory CreateSessionFactory()
        {
            ISessionFactory sessionFactory = null;
    
            // Automapped XML files will be exported to project's
            // ...\bin\x86\Debug\AutoMapExport directory
            // See ".ExportTo()" below
            const string autoMapExportDir = "AutoMapExport";
            if( !Directory.Exists(autoMapExportDir) )
                Directory.CreateDirectory(autoMapExportDir);
    
            try
            {
                var autoPersistenceModel = 
                    AutoMap.AssemblyOf<DlsAppOverlordExportRunData>()
                            // Only map entities in the DlsAppAutomapped namespace
                           .Where(t => t.Namespace == "DlsAppAutomapped")
                           // Do cascading saves on all entities so lists 
                           // will be automatically saved 
                           .Conventions.Add( DefaultCascade.All() )
                    ;
    
                sessionFactory = Fluently.Configure()
                    .Database(SQLiteConfiguration.Standard
                                  .UsingFile(DbFile)
                                  // Display generated SQL on Console
                                  .ShowSql()
                             )
                    .Mappings(m => m.AutoMappings.Add(autoPersistenceModel)
                                                 // Save XML mapping files to this dir
                                                 .ExportTo(autoMapExportDir)
                             )
                    .ExposeConfiguration(BuildSchema)
                    .BuildSessionFactory()
                    ;
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Debug.WriteLine(e);
            }
    
            return sessionFactory;
        }
