NHibernate-如何将具有多个外键的表映射到其对应的类？

Question

I have the following tables :

Basically, a user is part of a project and has certain access rights on that particular project.

I created the following entities:

1. User
2. Project
3. AccessRight

How can I map, using NHibernate, a User entity so that I can easily fetch the access rights per project he's assigned to ?

I was thinking of doing the following:

1. Create a new entity called "ProjectRight" which will have a Project ID as the primary key

2. Create a "Many-To-Many" set within the User entity :

   public virtual ICollection<ProjectRight> ProjectRights { get; set; }

   And in the User mapping:

 <set name="ProjectRights" table="Users_Projects_Rights"> <key column="id_UserGroup"></key> <many-to-many class="ProjectRight" > <column name="id_Project" /> <column name="id_AccessRight" /> </many-to-many> </set> 

Would this work ? And if yes, does that mean that I'll need to create two additional entities so that I can map the Projects and AccessRights table..?

Thanks

Answer 1

I'd suggest creating ProjectRight as a component instead of an entity:

<set name="ProjectRights" table="Users_Projects_Rights">
    <key column="id_User"/>
    <composite-element class="ProjectRight">
        <many-to-one name="Project" column="id_Project"/>
        <many-to-one name="Right" column="id_AccessRight"/>
    </composite-element>
</set>

This is one of the two ways suggested by the NHibernate documentation. For the other one see here .
