I have a domain class with a property IList<string>
that I want to map to a table with a single data value (ie it has an ID, a foreign key ID to the domain entity table, and a varchar data column).
I keep getting the error:
Association references unmapped class: System.String
How can I map a table to a collection of strings?
I just ran into a similar situation; and I found that it is indeed possible to map a collection of strings. Note that you'll have to map those strings as value objects.
This is what I have:
public class Chapter
{
private ISet<string> _synonyms = new HashedSet<string>();
public ReadOnlyCollection<string> Synonyms
{
get { return new List<string>(_synonyms).AsReadOnly(); }
}
}
Mapping:
<class name="Chapter" table="Chapter">
<set name="Synonyms" table="ChapterSynonyms">
<key column="ChapterId" />
<element column="ChapterCode" type="string" />
</set>
</class>
Unless I am mistaken you can do this:
<bag name="Identities" access="property">
<key column="accountId"/>
<element column="identity" type="string"/>
</bag>
Identities being an IList<string>
You can do this with IUserType like so:
public class DelimitedList : IUserType
{
private const string delimiter = "|";
public new bool Equals(object x, object y)
{
return object.Equals(x, y);
}
public int GetHashCode(object x)
{
return x.GetHashCode();
}
public object NullSafeGet(IDataReader rs, string[] names, object owner)
{
var r = rs[names[0]];
return r == DBNull.Value
? new List<string>()
: ((string)r).SplitAndTrim(new [] { delimiter });
}
public void NullSafeSet(IDbCommand cmd, object value, int index)
{
object paramVal = DBNull.Value;
if (value != null)
{
paramVal = ((IEnumerable<string>)value).Join(delimiter);
}
var parameter = (IDataParameter)cmd.Parameters[index];
parameter.Value = paramVal;
}
public object DeepCopy(object value)
{
return value;
}
public object Replace(object original, object target, object owner)
{
return original;
}
public object Assemble(object cached, object owner)
{
return cached;
}
public object Disassemble(object value)
{
return value;
}
public SqlType[] SqlTypes
{
get { return new SqlType[] { new StringSqlType() }; }
}
public Type ReturnedType
{
get { return typeof(IList<string>); }
}
public bool IsMutable
{
get { return false; }
}
}
Then define the IList<string> property as type="MyApp.DelimitedList, MyApp".
NOTE: SplitAndTrim is a string extension with various overrides that I created. Here is the core method:
public static IList<string> SplitAndTrim(this string s, StringSplitOptions options, params string[] delimiters)
{
if (s == null)
{
return null;
}
var query = s.Split(delimiters, StringSplitOptions.None).Select(x => x.Trim());
if (options == StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
{
query = query.Where(x => x.Trim() != string.Empty);
}
return query.ToList();
}
