Hi
I was a bit surprised when a collegue of mine the other day said "it's a petty you cannot have bidirectional s in nhibernate". Didn't understand him - I've used it with no problems.
He was referring to
http://nhibernate.info/doc/nh/en/index.html#collections-bidirectionalPlease note that NHibernate does not support bidirectional one-to-many associations with an indexed collection (list, map or array) as the "many" end, you have to use a set or bag mapping.
The docs should instead probably reflect Hibernate's doc in this matter...
http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/3.6/reference/en-US/html/collections.html#collections-indexedbidirectional

YES
The Hibernate documentation is much more accurate on this point, explaining the special steps you have to take to do a bi-directional relationship on a map or list, instead of incorrectly stating that it can't be done. I'm guessing that this problem in the documentation is probably responsible for this confusion: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3398624/nhibernate-map-1-many-relationship-to-dictionary.
