Fluent Nhibernate HasMany

I am having a gap in understanding and I would appreciate any help.

When I create a HasMany relationship using a list, nhibernate creates an "index" column on my child table. If I query the table using a join, it crashes with "Null Index on collection"

What I am not understanding is -- how is this "index" column managed/populated?

My pertinent code:

Parent (Product)

  Class:
       public class License
       {
             ...
             public virtual IList<License>  Licenses { get; set; }
             public Product()
             {
                Licenses = (IList<License>)new List<License>();
             }
       }

   Mapping:

    HasMany<License>(x => x.Licenses)
        .Inverse()
        .Not.LazyLoad()
        .AsList()
        .Cascade.AllDeleteOrphan()
        .ForeignKeyCascadeOnDelete()
        .KeyNullable()
        .KeyColumn("Product_ID")

Child (License):

  Class:
       public class License
       {
             ...
             public virtual Product_ID {get; set;}
       }

  Mapping: 


    ...
    References<Product>(x => x.Product_ID)
        .Column("ParentProduct");
    ...

And my join:

   criteria.Add(Restrictions.Disjunction()
                        .Add(Restrictions.Like("Name", kw))
                        .Add(Restrictions.Like("Description", kw)))
                        .CreateAlias("Licenses", "License",   NHibernate.SqlCommand.JoinType.LeftOuterJoin);

I end up with:

[HibernateException: null index column for collection: Test.Licenses]
   NHibernate.Persister.Collection.AbstractCollectionPersister.ReadIndex(IDataReader rs, String[] aliases, ISessionImplementor session) in D:\source\elysium\Elysium.Web\FNH\src\NHibernate\Persister\Collection\AbstractCollectionPersister.cs:703

   NHibernate.Loader.Loader.ListIgnoreQueryCache(ISessionImplementor session, QueryParameters queryParameters) in D:\source\elysium\Elysium.Web\FNH\src\NHibernate\Loader\Loader.cs:1568
...

EDIT

I changed the collection to Bag (or Set) and I get a different issue:

Line 30:        public void SetPropertyValues(object target, object[] values)
Line 31:        {
Line 32:            setDelegate(target, values, setterCallback);
Line 33:        }
Line 34: 


Source File: D:\source\Test\FNH\src\NHibernate\Bytecode\Lightweight\AccessOptimizer.cs    Line: 32

Stack Trace:

... When I track it down,is seems that the problem is that my child class is:

public class License {

public virtual Guid Id { get; private set; }
...
public virtual Guid Product_ID { get; set; }

}

But it is trying to put an instance of the Parent class in the Product_ID field. So it's actually trying to map Product_ID to an instance of Product class. So I end up with a Product that contains an array of Licenses, and it wants to have each License in the array contain an instance of the parent Product.

You can't use Inverse() together with an ordered collection (such as a list) - if you want to make it ordered then you need to omit the Inverse() and persist it from the parent item

Try mapping it as an unordered collection (bag):

HasMany<License>(x => x.Licenses)
    .Inverse()
    .Not.LazyLoad()
    .AsBag()
    .Cascade.AllDeleteOrphan()
    .ForeignKeyCascadeOnDelete()
    .KeyNullable()
    .KeyColumn("Product_ID")

Edited to add:

You shouldn't define the foreign key on the child object in addition to defining the many-to-one object through References. So License should be:

   public class License
   {
         ...
         public virtual Product {get; set;}
   }

Also, I assume you meant Product here and the cast is unnecessary because List<T> implements IList<T>:

   public class Product
   {
         ...
         public virtual IList<License>  Licenses { get; set; }
         public Product()
         {
            Licenses = new List<License>();
         }
   }

Hope this helps.
