NHibernate not loading one to many children

Question

Yo

i have the following nhibernate class:

public class User
{

    public virtual int Id { get; set; }

    public virtual string FullName { get; set; }

    public virtual IList<RatingItem> RatingItems { get; set; }


    public User()
    {
        RatingItems = new List<RatingItem>();

    }

    public virtual void AddRatingItems(RatingItem ratingItem)
    {
        ratingItem.User = this;
        RatingItems.Add(ratingItem);
    }
}

and the following fluent mapping:

public class UserMap : ClassMap<User>
{
    public UserMap() {
        Id(x=>x.Id);
        Map(x=>x.FullName);
        HasMany(x=> x.RatingItems).Inverse().Cascade.All();

    }
}

rating item has similar except it sees the user object like this:

public virtual User User { get; set; }

and the mapping file has this:

References(x => x.User);

however - when i try to load a user object and get then ask for its RatingItems - i get the following error:

could not initialize a collection: [IsItGd.Model.Entities.User.RatingItems#1]

anyone?

Answer 1

this was due to the foreign key naming convention - i added a new convention to use my naming scheme and it worked great.
