If your entities are all the same, just with different types, then it may be worth using a discriminator instead. You're best asking these questions on the Fluent NHibernate mailing list because they've got more than just myself answering questions.

In the example above, from the application point of view how, how would you “turn” a person into an employee? (or for that matter into a guest as well).

I have an analogous problem in my application and I am wondering whether I am going down the wrong route using separate tables – perhaps one table with a discriminator would work better?

This post talks about auto mapping and how this works with base classes, Introduction to static reflection talks about some of the reflection magic that makes Fluent NHibernate work, and I think you mean a many-to-one sir which explores a common ORM problem of people using the wrong type of mapping for object relations.

Hi James,

Very good series about Fluent NHibernate and Automapping. I just which you had posted this 2 hours earlier NHibernate doesn\t always return the most understandable error messages.

Thanks anyway, looking forward to your next post.
