NHibernate.QueryException with dynamic-component

Question

OK, this is going to be kind of a long shot, since it's a big system (which I don't claim to fully understand, yet), and the problem might not be with NHibernate itself, and I'm even having trouble reproducing it, but...

I've got a class with a <dynamic-component> section, and when I run a query on it (through my ASP.NET MVC app), it fails, but only sometimes. (Yeah, the worst kind!)

The exception I'm seeing is:

NHibernate.QueryException: could not resolve property:
Attributes.MyAttributeName of: MyClassName
   at NHibernate.Persister.Entity.AbstractPropertyMapping.GetColumns(String propertyName)
   at NHibernate.Persister.Entity.AbstractPropertyMapping.ToColumns(String alias, String propertyName)
   at NHibernate.Persister.Entity.BasicEntityPropertyMapping.ToColumns(String alias, String propertyName)

   at NHibernate.Impl.CriteriaImpl.List(IList results)
   at NHibernate.Impl.CriteriaImpl.UniqueResult[T]()
...my code below here...

Can anybody explain exactly what this QueryException means, i.e., so I can have an idea of what exactly it thinks is going wrong?

Thanks!

Answer 1

NHibernate.QueryException: could not resolve property: Attributes.MyAttributeName of: MyClassName

I think, "MyAttributeName" property does not map with the field.

Can you provide more info ?

Answer 2

It turns out my problem was just outside of NHibernate, and this was just the most direct symptom of the actual problem.

(I'd describe the real problem, but the details wouldn't really be that interesting or helpful to other people. Except to say that: caches are pretty useful, everybody, except when you make a mistake and they don't return the thing they should!)

I tried to close this question, but I just get the "A problem occurred during closing/reopening" popup, so just pretend it got closed.
