NHibernate Mapping Validation Tool?


Writing my last post got me thinking…  Surely someone has written an automated script or tool that could examine NHibernate mapping files and verify all the items I pointed out in my previous post.  Or maybe even, another step further, also make sure the column names specified in the mapping files actually exist in the tables in a real database schema!

I’m very tempted to write a NAnt/MSBuild task to do this kind of thing so I can run it as part of my test suite.  I’m thinking something like this would be very useful as a kind of quick “smoke test” for NHibernate mappings.

But, before I do…

Does anyone know of an automated tool that does this kind of thing?
