Problem using sql server

[Nobody/Anonymous]

I got a problem using sql server, here's my xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<map>
    <database name="TestAtomsFramwork" class="CMsSqlDatabase">
        <parameter name="server" value="localhost" />
        <parameter name="user" value="sa" />
        <parameter name="password" value="abc" />
        <parameter name="OIDTable" value="OID"/>
    </database>
   
    <class name="Article" table="Article" database="TestAtomsFramwork">
        <attribute name="OIDValue" column="oid" key="primary"/>
        <attribute name="CreatedDate" column="CreatedDate" timestamp="true"/>
        <attribute name="ModifiedDate" column="ModifiedDate" timestamp="true"/>
        <attribute name="Title" column="Title" proxy="true"/>
        <attribute name="PublishedDate" column="PublishedDate" proxy="true"/>
        <attribute name="Click" column="Click" proxy="true"/>
        <attribute name="IsImageArticle" column="IsImageArticle" />
        <attribute name="AtomsDetailOIDValue" column="AtomsDetailOIDValue" />
    </class>
   
    <class name="ArticleDetail" table="ArticleDetail" database="TestAtomsFramwork">
        <attribute name="OIDValue" column="oid" key="primary"/>
        <attribute name="CreatedDate" column="CreatedDate" timestamp="true"/>
        <attribute name="ModifiedDate" column="ModifiedDate" timestamp="true"/>
    </class>
   
    <class name="ArticleImage" table="ArticleImage" database="TestAtomsFramwork">
        <attribute name="OIDValue" column="oid" key="primary"/>
        <attribute name="CreatedDate" column="CreatedDate" timestamp="true"/>
        <attribute name="ModifiedDate" column="ModifiedDate" timestamp="true"/>
        <attribute name="AtomsArticleOIDValue" column="AtomsArticleOIDValue" timestamp="true"/>
    </class>
   
    <association fromClass="Article"
        toClass="ArticleDetail"
        cardinality="oneToOne"
        target="Detail"
        retrieveAutomatic="true"
        deleteAutomatic="true"
        saveAutomatic="true"
        inverse="false">
        <entry fromAttribute="AtomsDetailOIDValue" toAttribute="OIDValue"/>
    </association>
   
    <association fromClass="Article"
        toClass="ArticleImage"
        cardinality="oneToMany"
        target="Images"
        retrieveAutomatic="true"
        deleteAutomatic="true"
        saveAutomatic="true"
        inverse="false">
        <entry fromAttribute="OIDValue" toAttribute="AtomsArticleOIDValue"/>
    </association>
   
</map>

When I call the Init() method of PersistentBroker, an exception was thrown :

TestCase 'TestAtomsFramework.Test.TestArticle.TestSaveFields' failed: System.NullReferenceException : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    d:\test\testatomsframework\test\testarticle.cs(31,0): at TestAtomsFramework.Test.TestArticle.SetUp()

Can you tell me how to solve this problem?

Thank you.

The most obvious thing is that you have a target specified for an association (ie "Details") but you haven't included that in the XML mapping yet.

Your Article class should be something like this:

<class name="Article" table="Article" database="TestAtomsFramwork">
<attribute name="OIDValue" column="oid" key="primary"/>
<attribute name="CreatedDate" column="CreatedDate" timestamp="true"/>
<attribute name="ModifiedDate" column="ModifiedDate" timestamp="true"/>
<attribute name="Title" column="Title" proxy="true"/>
<attribute name="PublishedDate" column="PublishedDate" proxy="true"/>
<attribute name="Click" column="Click" proxy="true"/>
<attribute name="IsImageArticle" column="IsImageArticle" />
<attribute name="AtomsDetailOIDValue" column="AtomsDetailOIDValue" />
<attribute name="Details" />
<attribute name="Images" />
</class>

the last two attributes are required as they are the target of the association (even though they don't map to a database column).

You have also set AtomsArticleOIDValue (in articleimages) as a timestamp field.  Looks like a cut and paste error there :-)

Also proxy="true'" is the default for all attributes.
