I have an object model where a Calendar object has an IDictionary<MembershipUser, Perms> called UserPermissions, where MembershipUser is an object, and Perms is a simple enumeration. This is in the mapping file for Calendar as
<map name="UserPermissions" table="CalendarUserPermissions" lazy="true" cascade="all">
<key column="CalendarID"/>
<index-many-to-many class="MembershipUser" column="UserGUID" />
<element column="Permissions" type="CalendarPermission" not-null="true" />
</map>
Now I want to execute a query to find all calendars for which a given user has some permission defined. The permission is irrelevant; I just want a list of the calendars where a given user is present as a key in the UserPermissions dictionary. I have the username property, not a MembershipUser object. How do I build that using QBC (or HQL)? Here's what I've tried:
ISession session = SessionManager.CurrentSession;
ICriteria calCrit = session.CreateCriteria<Calendar>();
ICriteria userCrit = calCrit.CreateCriteria("UserPermissions.indices");
userCrit.Add(Expression.Eq("Username", username));
return calCrit.List<Calendar>();
This constructed invalid SQL -- the WHERE clause contained WHERE membership1_.Username = @p0 as expected, but the FROM clause didn't include the MemberhipUsers table.
Also, I really had to struggle to learn about the .indices notation. I found it by digging through the NHibernate source code, and saw that there's also .elements and some other dotted notations. Where's a reference to the allowed syntax of an association path? I feel like what's above is very close, and just missing something simple.
