How to generate hbm.xml file from FluentNHibernate


I'm trying to follow this tutorial but instead of generating the expected hbm.xml files with my mappings in it generates simple .cs class for my entities like for example:

public class ProductMap : ClassMap<Product>

But I already defined those myself in code. I'm after the .hbm.xml which I can use in standard NHibernate at this time.

This is how I set up the SessionFactory:

    private static ISessionFactory CreateSessionFactory()
    {
        String schemaExportPath = Path.Combine(System.Environment.CurrentDirectory, "Mappings");

        if (!Directory.Exists(schemaExportPath))
            Directory.CreateDirectory(schemaExportPath);


        return Fluently.Configure()
            .Database(MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2008
                .ConnectionString(c =>c.FromConnectionStringWithKey("connectionString"))
                .Cache(c => c.UseQueryCache()
                    .ProviderClass<HashtableCacheProvider>()).ShowSql())
            .Mappings(m => m.FluentMappings.AddFromAssemblyOf<Program>().ExportTo(schemaExportPath))
            .ExposeConfiguration(c => new SchemaExport(c).SetOutputFile(@"c:\temp\test.sql").Create(false, true))
            .BuildSessionFactory();
    }

Solution

  • See : Fluent_Configuration, the last section of the page.

    It shows this code

    .Mappings(m =>
    {
      m.FluentMappings
        .AddFromAssemblyOf<YourEntity>()
        .ExportTo(@"C:\your\export\path");
    
      m.AutoMappings
        .Add(AutoMap.AssemblyOf<YourEntity>(type => type.Namspace.EndsWith("Entities")));)
        .ExportTo(@"C:\your\export\path");
    })
