Fluent Nhibernate and pluggable inheritance

Is there any way to define/expand inheritance without changing base table mapping with Fluent NHibernate? For example with Castle.ActiveRecord (based on NHibernate) you can define inheritance like this:

[ActiveRecord("entity"), JoinedBase]
public class Entity : ActiveRecordBase
{ 
    [PrimaryKey]
    public int Id { get; set; }
}

[ActiveRecord("entitycompany")]
public class CompanyEntity : Entity
{
    [JoinedKey("comp_id")]
    public int CompId { get; set; }
}
  • It's possible to add or remove new subclasses without changing base entity mappings.
  • When we call Entity.FindAll() it returns all entities (also those inherited).
Solution

  • Not right now, no. Certainly not in any way that will require no modifications to your parent class map.
