The persistent classes represent a weblog, and an item posted in a weblog. They are to be modelled as a standard parent/child relationship, but we will use an ordered bag, instead of a set.
using System; using System.Collections; namespace Eg { public class Blog { private long _id; private string _name; private IList _items; public virtual long Id { get { return _id; } set { _id = value; } } public virtual IList Items { get { return _items; } set { _items = value; } } public virtual string Name { get { return _name; } set { _name = value; } } } }
using System; namespace Eg { public class BlogItem { private long _id; private DateTime _dateTime; private string _text; private string _title; private Blog _blog; public virtual Blog Blog { get { return _blog; } set { _blog = value; } } public virtual DateTime DateTime { get { return _dateTime; } set { _dateTime = value; } } public virtual long Id { get { return _id; } set { _id = value; } } public virtual string Text { get { return _text; } set { _text = value; } } public virtual string Title { get { return _title; } set { _title = value; } } } }
The XML mappings should now be quite straightforward.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" assembly="Eg" namespace="Eg"> <class name="Blog" table="BLOGS" lazy="true"> <id name="Id" column="BLOG_ID"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <property name="Name" column="NAME" not-null="true" unique="true"/> <bag name="Items" inverse="true" lazy="true" order-by="DATE_TIME" cascade="all"> <key column="BLOG_ID"/> <one-to-many class="BlogItem"/> </bag> </class> </hibernate-mapping>
<?xml version="1.0"?> <hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" assembly="Eg" namespace="Eg"> <class name="BlogItem" table="BLOG_ITEMS" dynamic-update="true"> <id name="Id" column="BLOG_ITEM_ID"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <property name="Title" column="TITLE" not-null="true"/> <property name="Text" column="TEXT" not-null="true"/> <property name="DateTime" column="DATE_TIME" not-null="true"/> <many-to-one name="Blog" column="BLOG_ID" not-null="true"/> </class> </hibernate-mapping>
The following class demonstrates some of the kinds of things we can do with these classes, using NHibernate.
using System; using System.Collections; using NHibernate.Tool.hbm2ddl; namespace Eg { public class BlogMain { private ISessionFactory _sessions; public void Configure() { _sessions = new Configuration() .AddClass(typeof(Blog)) .AddClass(typeof(BlogItem)) .BuildSessionFactory(); } public void ExportTables() { Configuration cfg = new Configuration() .AddClass(typeof(Blog)) .AddClass(typeof(BlogItem)); new SchemaExport(cfg).create(true, true); } public Blog CreateBlog(string name) { Blog blog = new Blog(); blog.Name = name; blog.Items = new ArrayList(); using (ISession session = _sessions.OpenSession()) using (ITransaction tx = session.BeginTransaction()) { session.Save(blog); tx.Commit(); } return blog; } public BlogItem CreateBlogItem(Blog blog, string title, string text) { BlogItem item = new BlogItem(); item.Title = title; item.Text = text; item.Blog = blog; item.DateTime = DateTime.Now; blog.Items.Add(item); using (ISession session = _sessions.OpenSession()) using (ITransaction tx = session.BeginTransaction()) { session.Update(blog); tx.Commit(); } return item; } public BlogItem CreateBlogItem(long blogId, string title, string text) { BlogItem item = new BlogItem(); item.Title = title; item.Text = text; item.DateTime = DateTime.Now; using (ISession session = _sessions.OpenSession()) using (ITransaction tx = session.BeginTransaction()) { Blog blog = (Blog) session.Load(typeof(Blog), blogId); item.Blog = blog; blog.Items.Add(item); tx.Commit(); } return item; } public void UpdateBlogItem(BlogItem item, string text) { item.Text = text; using (ISession session = _sessions.OpenSession()) using (ITransaction tx = session.BeginTransaction()) { session.Update(item); tx.Commit(); } } public void UpdateBlogItem(long itemId, string text) { using (ISession session = _sessions.OpenSession()) using (ITransaction tx = session.BeginTransaction()) { BlogItem item = (BlogItem) session.Load(typeof(BlogItem), itemId); item.Text = text; tx.Commit(); } } public IList listAllBlogNamesAndItemCounts(int max) { IList result = null; using (ISession session = _sessions.OpenSession()) using (ITransaction tx = session.BeginTransaction()) { IQuery q = session.CreateQuery( "select blog.id, blog.Name, count(blogItem) " + "from Blog as blog " + "left outer join blog.Items as blogItem " + "group by blog.Name, blog.id " + "order by max(blogItem.DateTime)" ); q.SetMaxResults(max); result = q.List(); tx.Commit(); } return result; } public Blog GetBlogAndAllItems(long blogId) { Blog blog = null; using (ISession session = _sessions.OpenSession()) using (ITransaction tx = session.BeginTransaction()) { IQuery q = session.createQuery( "from Blog as blog " + "left outer join fetch blog.Items " + "where blog.id = :blogId" ); q.SetParameter("blogId", blogId); blog = (Blog) q.List()[0]; tx.Commit(); } return blog; } public IList ListBlogsAndRecentItems() { IList result = null; using (ISession session = _sessions.OpenSession()) using (ITransaction tx = session.BeginTransaction()) { IQuery q = session.CreateQuery( "from Blog as blog " + "inner join blog.Items as blogItem " + "where blogItem.DateTime > :minDate" ); DateTime date = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1); q.SetDateTime("minDate", date); result = q.List(); tx.Commit(); } return result; } } }
