If I want to have an IList interface on an object property, the mapping needs and <array>. But, the <many-to-many> withing the array produces errors.

hbm.xml fragment:
<array name="Friends" table="Friends" >
<key column="Person_ID"/>
<many-to-many column="Friend_ID" class="HibernateTest.Person, HibernateTest" />
</array>

Error:
The element <array> has invalid child element: <many-to-many>.

The documentation even has an example how an array can have many-to-many. (http://nhibernate.sourceforge.net/h2.0. ... tions.html)

What am I doing wrong here?

This is apparently an omission in the XML schema, need to fix it...

Can I fix it myself? Just point me in the right directon...

Thanks,

Hmm, I've looked at the mapping XSD now, and many-to-many is there, but the schema expects the array to contain <key>, then <index>, and then a <many-to-many> or something else, in that order. So the problem is actually the missing <index>.

I don't have an index in that table. It is just a mapping table (association table, to be exact).

Can't I use Array in that case? I just want to use IList interface... :)

Then you should probably use a <bag>, it maps to an IList.
