getting the userId back in CustomUserAuthRepository.CreateUserAuth

Question

Being a very basic user of ServiceStack, I tried to give it a go, but several things I can't seem to understand correctly...

I'm using this code in order to use NHibernate as the data layer in the ServiceStack Authentication:

https://gist.github.com/balexandre/f1217ae8e2a2b1045d47

I have modified a bit the CreateUserAuth to create a new user in my own table (as I do need more data for the user and the metadata option is not enough), I have extended to this code at line 201:

https://gist.github.com/balexandre/f1217ae8e2a2b1045d47#file-customuserauthrepository-cs-L201

newUser is sent back and I do need to get the userId (newUser.Id) so I can create a new user in my table with the same userID that UserAuth will have (in order to proper save/edit in the CustomUserSession.cs and populate my user with the logged in information, as shown in several examples).

How do I get the correct userId?

I really thought that I could attach the UserAuth object to my custom User like (newLocalUser.UserAuthInfo) but I always end up having in the database User.Id == 0

and getting newUser.Id after the Session.Save(new UserAuthNHibernate(newUser)) call, is always 0 as well.

How do you guys attach the new generated UserId of the UserAuth to your own table? or you simply use the email address for that?

Answer 1

I'm not seeing any code in the CreateUserAuth method that sets the newUser.Id property. Maybe something like...

var newUserAuthNhibernate = new UserAuthNHibernate(newUser);
Session.Save(newUserAuthNhibernate);
newUser.Id = newUserAuthNhibernate.Id; 

is needed? Based on the current code in the gist it looks like NHibernate would set the Id field on a new instance of UserAuthNHibernate created in the Session.Save() but I don't see where that Id (which would be generated by DB/NHibernate) would get based back to the current instance of newUser that is returned by the CreateUserAuth method. Maybe it happens in the UserAuthNHibernate class?
