Here I am again with a problem I had before. I am working on a new local site and have several custom tables I need to access. I have created .hbm.xml files, set them as embedded resource and have the appropriate object class, IRepository and Repository for them. I have them in the AbleCommerce namespace, they are in the Code folder, and I have added that mapping entry to the nhibernate.config file and added an entry into the windsor.config file for each. I compiled the solution and recycled the app pool and they don't pick up the database table. I even copied over a table and set of files that worked in another 9.0.4 site and they don't work.https://www.ablecommerce.com/for...rsister-for-custom-table
I even copied over the files and code you provided for the customPriceQuotes and it doesn't work.
I have a previous 9.0.4 local site where I am getting an unable to locate a persister error for a data object that had been working and that works on the live site and all of a sudden it has quit working on my local.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

We had used the same tables on Gold sites but had switched to using Fluent nHibernate there. Do you know if it's possible to use Fluent in AC9? I did find an article on Fluent and MVC Fluent and MVC
They have the following file to attach to the database. Do you know how I could connect it to the AC database? I don't want to hard code the connection string.

using FluentNHibernate.Cfg;
using FluentNHibernate.Cfg.Db;
using NHibernate;
using NHibernate.Tool.hbm2ddl;

namespace FluentNhibernateMVC.Models
{
public class NHibernateHelper
{
public static ISession OpenSession()
{
ISessionFactory sessionFactory = Fluently.Configure()
.Database(MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2008
.ConnectionString(@"Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=C:\data\Blog\Samples\FluentNhibernateMVC\FluentNhibernateMVC\FluentNhibernateMVC\App_Data\FNhibernateDemo.mdf;Integrated Security=True")
.ShowSql()
)
.Mappings(m =>
m.FluentMappings
.AddFromAssemblyOf<Employee>())
.ExposeConfiguration(cfg => new SchemaExport(cfg)
.Create(false, false))
.BuildSessionFactory();
return sessionFactory.OpenSession();
}
}
}

Thanks

Thanks. After I posted this, I went digging for the method that a developer here had used to configure Fluent for Gold. He had overridden the SessionFactory class and added
//Custom W2M code for FluentNHibernate
PersistenceModel persistenceModel = new PersistenceModel();

persistenceModel.AddMappingsFromAssembly(System.Reflection.Assembly.Load("__Code"));
persistenceModel.Configure(Configuration);

before
// Now that we have our Configuration object, create a new SessionFactory
_sessionFactory = Configuration.BuildSessionFactory();


I don't know how he figured out to put in _Code for the App_Code folder. I tried that a little bit, but got an error because of _Code but might keep working on that if I can't get the other way to work.
I also noticed in your DatabaseConfiguration class that you have the following. This site has source code so I might be able to adapt that. Does this pick up .hbm.xml files from the plugin, meaning the plugin wouldn't need to include a dll, but could include a separate mapping file?Thanks

private void ImportMappingsFromPlugins(Configuration configuration)
{
try
{
var manager = Plugins.PluginManager.Instance;
if (manager != null && manager.Plugins.Count > 0)
{
var plugins = manager.GetInstalledPlugins();
if (plugins != null)
{
foreach (var plugin in plugins)
{
try
{
if (plugin.ReferencedAssembly != null)
{
var resources = plugin.ReferencedAssembly.GetManifestResourceNames();
if (resources != null && resources.Length > 0 && resources.Any(r => r.EndsWith(".hbm.xml")))
{
configuration.AddAssembly(plugin.ReferencedAssembly);
}
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Logger.Info(e.Message, e);
}
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Logger.Info(e.Message, e);
}
}

Thanks for the additional info.
I did finally figure out why mappings weren't working in this new solution- I had typos in the field names of a couple of the hbm.xml files and that caused none of them to work. I still haven't figured out why I'm having issues with the other site where it used to work.

Just another note, I even tried generated mapping files using NHibernteMappingGenerator and got the same error.

I finally found the solution yesterday. I had a typo in one of the classes and it knocked out the ones that came after it. I finally had to exclude the problem classes from the solution and then add them back in to the solution and Windsor one at a time to narrow it down. I had been testing them one at a time as I created them, but when I hit one that didn't work, I didn't exclude the files from the solution, just commented out the entry in Windsor and the line of code that called it.
Thanks for your help.
