Fluent NHibernate doesn't like this, throwing an error:
{"Association references unmapped class: System.String"}
OK fine, I can see why this would cause a problem - but what's the best solution?
I don't really want it to store a delimited list of strings in a single field, this would get ugly if my list contains many strings.
I also don't really want a table 'string', for obvious reasons.
I guess I can solve this by wrapping my List<string> inside a class, but this feels a little heavyweight. I'm starting to think its the best solution though.
What's the best way to get Fluent NHibernate to handle this?
I totally expect these values to be stored in another table. I thought perhaps that I may have been able to setup some automapping convention that instructs NHibernate 'If you see a class X that contains List<*some primitive type*>, then go ahead and automatically create a reference table that maps to this collection.
It feels a bit heavy to go and wrap every single collection in a class. If that is the best solution however, then so be it.
