Then I use Fluent NHibernate and its autopilot function to display the following simplified POCO classes:
public class Webpage
{
public virtual int Id { get; set; }
public virtual string UrlIdentifier { get; set; }
public virtual WebpageType WebpageType { get; set; }
}
public class WebpageType
{
public virtual int Id { get; set; }
public virtual string Name { get; set; }
}
Then I redefine the following mapping so as not to explicitly cascade from the webpage to WebpageType:
public class WebpageMap : IAutoMappingOverride<Webpage>
{
public void Override(AutoMapping<Webpage> mapping)
{
mapping.References(w => w.WebpageType).Cascade.None();
}
}
For any pure NHibernate readers, here are the xml mappings created fluently:
<hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" default-access="property" auto-import="true" default-cascade="none" default-lazy="true">
<class xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" name="EveryPage.Core.Domain.Webpage, EveryPage.Core, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" table="`Webpage`">
<id name="Id" type="System.Int32, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" unsaved-value="0">
<column name="Id" />
<generator class="identity" />
</id>
<property name="UrlIdentifier" type="System.String, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
<column name="UrlIdentifier" />
</property>
<many-to-one cascade="none" class="EveryPage.Core.Domain.WebpageType, EveryPage.Core, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" name="WebpageType">
<column name="WebpageType_id" />
</many-to-one>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>
<hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" default-access="property" auto-import="true" default-cascade="none" default-lazy="true">
<class xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" name="EveryPage.Core.Domain.WebpageType, EveryPage.Core, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" table="`WebpageType`">
<id name="Id" type="System.Int32, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" unsaved-value="0">
<column name="Id" />
<generator class="identity" />
</id>
<property name="Name" type="System.String, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
<column name="Name" />
</property>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>
The problem arises when I test that updates are not cascaded in WebpageType via a web page, basically they do !!
I have the following test:
[Test]
public void Assert_SaveOrUpdate_On_Webpage_Does_Not_Cascade_Update_To_WebpageType()
{
webpage = _webpageRepository.Get("~/testwebpage1.aspx");
const string webpageTypeName = "qwerty test";
webpage.WebpageType.Name = webpageTypeName;
Assert.DoesNotThrow(() => _webpageRepository.SaveOrUpdate(webpage));
Assert.DoesNotThrow(() => NHibernateSession.Current.Flush());
NHibernateSession.Current.Evict(webpage);
webpageType = _webpageTypeRepository.Get(webpageType.Id);
Assert.AreNotEqual(webpageTypeName, webpageType.Name);
}
The above test is wrapped in a global transaction.
The test fails and NHibernate updates the name of the associated WebpageType. Cascades of deleting and saving (creating new ones) work correctly and do not cascade.
I missed the skipped cascade and / or there is a problem with my logic / test.
