Does Fluent-NHibernate support mapping to procedures?

Question

I've been wondering if it's possible to have Fluent-NHibernate communicate with stored procedures that already exist and assign mapping from the result set to my own domain objects.

Also is Fluent-NHibernate able to directly execute procedures with no result set returned?

Basically I've been considering the implications of using Fluent-NHibernate to replace a dated TypedDataSet model with a domain driven design that can return simple objects from the DAL. If Fluent-NHibernate cannot work with SPs easily, I think I would most likley have a combinational DAL that will take advantage of FNH for simple CRUD operations while leaving complex procedures to be managed by Enterprise Library. While I don't think it would be optimal to have 2 competing DALs if FNH cannot play well with SPs I'd love to hear any other ideas than using both EntLib and FNH together.

Answer 1

Just to answer my own question, the answer is no other than you can write xml mapppings for NHibernate and combine them with Fluent-NHibernate mappings. SP mapping for FNH will most likely be added later.

Answer 2

The trunk version of Fluent NHibernate (on GitHub) supports insert, update and delete stored procedures.

In your mapping class constructor, call:

SqlInsert("StoredProcName");

Disclaimer: I haven't tested this myself yet, but it certainly will come in handy soon.
