Fluent NHibernate doesn’t require your entities to inherit from anything, it’s only the actual mappings themselves that should inherit from ClassMap.

Does this approach require that the class being mapped extend from ClassMap ?

If this is the case, the one chance you have at inheritance is lost by extending from ClassMap.

Typically, I see people writing entities that tend to extend from some base entity.

Still looks awesome though!

[...] 2) Code Generators: I have seen many companies having a framework wherein they take care of common tasks starting from transactions to Workflows, etc. Their implementation normally revolves around Factory method or Template method patterns. If you follow this approach, using code generator you can create “Fill-In-The-Blanks” template for your developers. I don’t have a framework like this, but I have still created few code generators. I normally use NHibernate for my projects. Given it’s a fantastic tool, it takes sometime to generate mappings & corresponding classes which again might be error prone. I have created a code generator which not allows you to create mappings & classes but also creates Factories & Repositories for entities that are generated. (N.B. You can find one alternative approach to mapping files here). [...]

@Chris Please use the Fluent NHibernate google group to ask those kind of questions, you'll get a much prompter response. http://groups.google.com/group/fluent-nhibernate

Also is there a way to setup the AutoPerisistanceModel to use component objects like you can with regular mapping

Map(x => x.HireDate);
Map(x => x.Phone,”HomePhone”).WithLengthOf(24);

Component(employee => employee.Address,
address =>
{
address.Map(a => a.City).WithLengthOf(15);
address.Map(a => a.CountryRegionName).WithLengthOf(15);
address.Map(a => a.PostalCode).WithLengthOf(10);
address.Map(a => a.StateProvinceName).WithLengthOf(15);
address.Map(a => a.AddressLine1,”Address”).WithLengthOf(60);
}
);

Is there a way to use the AutoPersistenceModel and set a convention for the table name similar to the way you can with primary keys etc?

var persistenceModel = AutoPersistenceModel.MapEntitiesFromAssemblyOf()
.WithConvention(c => c.GetPrimaryKeyName = p => p.Name + “ID”)
But like
.WithConvention(c => c.GetTableName = t => “tbl” + t.Name)
