Entity framework - virtual table for multiple entities (code first) - entity-framework

Question

We are building a Context with multiple entities. All entities build on a abstract class with ID (guid).
We want all entities to have relation to a common Log table, however can't get EFCF to understand the relationship due to the naming.
public class Log {
public BaseEntity Entity {get;set;}
public Guid EntityID {get;set;}
}
public class Example : BaseEntity {
public virtual ICollection<Log> Logs {get;set;}
}
Can anyone help on a pattern which support? We've tried abstracting, setting up the OnModelCreating etc. but keep getting fuzzy errors due to the none-supported naming. If we add these;
[ForeignKey("EntityID")]
public Example Example {get;set;}
[ForeignKey("EntityID")]
public Example5 Example5 {get;set;}
[ForeignKey("EntityID")]
public Example2 Example2 {get;set;}
set of properties on the Log class, everything works fine. Problem occurs when adding a new Log entry.

Answer 1

I would a possible and working solution, abstracting the common fields into a base class.
Using the MapInheritedProperties() in the model building (and followed)
modelBuilder.Entity<Models.Example>().Map(x => x.MapInheritedProperties());
modelBuilder.Entity<Models.Log>()
.HasRequired(x => x.BaseEntity)
.WithMany(x => x.Logs)
.Map(x =>
{
x.ToTable("Example");
x.MapKey(new[] { "ID" });
})
.WillCascadeOnDelete(false);
I can now assign the "virtual" table to any entity, as long as they derive from the base class.
