The reason is that one of the mapping property does not have a setter, it only has a getter.
This is a hard one to find because normally Nhibernate will tell you that it cannot find the setter of the property, however, instead, it throws a null reference error.
The way with which I found this is to comment out some part of the mapping file and see if the error still occurs when this part of the mapping file is comment out. So I can locate which mapping property is causing the error.
