Hi there,

Still new and still learning nHibernate as well as proper Domain Model pattern.

I'm struggling with a concept here. I know how to design the database but no sure how to map the classes to it, or even how to make the correct classes for nHibernate OR the terminology with which to search for solutions for my problem!

I could do it by hand but not using nHibernate.

The situation is as follows:

I have a many-to-many realtionship between a Horse entity and a Race entity, and they are both mapped properly with many-to-many relationships in both classes. The problem is that for each entry in the HorseRaces table (join table) there are specific fields, ie: the jockey and the position the horse came and the time etc. that can't be held in either of the classes, but can only be determined by the combination of the two!

How would I map this to classes with nHibernate? The only way I could think of is to create a new object to hold these fields?

Please, any advice or best practices would be much appreciated. Would hate to give up on nHibernate for this project now. I'm SURE there's a 'PROPER' way to do this?

Thank you in advance!
