Developer-safe bi-directional relationships with NHibernate

I know how to map bi-directional relationships with NHibernate, but does anyone know an effective technique to make them 'developer safe'.

What I mean by that, 开发者_如何转开发is that as soon as one end of the relationship is established, the other end should also be set, for example:

[Test]
public void TestBidirectionalRelationships_WhenAddingOptionToProduct()
{
    var product = new Product();

    var productOption = new ProductOption();

    product.AddOption(productOption);

    Assert.That(product.Options.Contains(productOption));
    Assert.That(productOption.Product, Is.EqualTo(product);
}

[Test]
public void TestBidirectionalRelationships_WhenSettingProductOnOption()
{
    /* Alternatively, productOption.Product would have no public setter */

    var product = new Product();

    var productOption = new ProductOption();

    productOption.Product = product;

    Assert.That(product.Options.Contains(productOption));
    Assert.That(productOption.Product, Is.EqualTo(product);
}

How would one achieve this, without making the code horrendously complex, and whilst also keeping NHibernate happy?


One side:

class Product
{
    public Product()
    {
        _Options = new List<ProductOption>();
    }

    ICollection<ProductOption> _Options;
    public virtual IEnumerable<ProductOption> ProductOptions
    {
        get { return _Options.Select(x => x); }
    }

    public virtual AddOption(ProductOption option)
    {
        option.Product = this;
    }

    protected internal virtual AddOptionInternal(ProductOption option)
    {
        _Options.Add(option);
    }
}

Many side:

class ProductOption
{
    Product _Product;
    public virtual Product Product
    {
        get { return _Product; }
        set
        {
            _Product = value;
            _Product.AddOptionInternal(this);
        }
    }
}

Mapping:

<class name="Product">
    ...
    <bag name="Options" access="field.pascalcase-underscore">
    ...
<class name="ProductOption">
    ...
    <many-to-one name="Product" access="field.pascalcase-underscore"/>

Removal of options from the collection (from either side) is left as an exercise :-)


Diego's solution is fine but I prefer this pattern:

One side:

public class Product
{

    private IList<ProductOption> _options; 

    public Product()
    {
        _options = new List<ProductOption>();
    }

    public virtual IEnumerable<ProductOption> ProductOptions
    {
        get { return _options; }
    }

    public virtual AddOption(ProductOption option)
    {
        // equality must be overridden for this to work
        // Check contains to break out of endless loop
        if (!_options.Contains(options))
        { 
            _options.Add(option);
            option.Product = this;
        }
    }
}

Many side:

public class ProductOption
{
    Product _product;

    public virtual Product Product
    {
        get { return _product; }
        set
        {
            _product = value;
            _product.AddOption(this);
        }
    }
}


Have a look at this article which specifically addresses this issue. The guidance here is very valuable for keeping such relationships clean by encapsulating the collection operations within your domain model.
