nhibernate dialect error : seems to be a bug

Question

Hi everybody,

I am using an oracle database, so defined dialect as Oracle9Dialect. But it throws error :

"Could not load type NHibernate.Dialect. Oracle9Dialect. Possible cause: no assembly name specified."

I just change the dialect as MsSql2000Dialect without changing driver_class, it works. But, in this case i cannot use oracle spesific features..

any suggestions?

<hibernate-configuration  xmlns="urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2" >
               <session-factory name="NHibernate.Test">
                       <property  name="connection.driver_class">NHibernate.Driver.OracleDataClientDriver</ property>
                       <property name="connection.connection_string">

                       <mapping assembly="CoreHR"  />
               </session-factory>
       </hibernate-configuration>

There's no longer a class called NHibernate.Dialect.Oracle9Dialect in NHibernate 2.1. The class is now called NHibernate.Dialect.Oracle9iDialect.
