Separate table for Value Objects on NHibernate

Question

I\'m new to DDD and NHibernate.

In my current project, I have an entity Person, that contains a value object, let\'s say Address. Today, this is fine. But maybe one

Answer 1

You can Join and make it a Component allowing nHibernate to map it as a proper value object instead of an entity.

This way you won't need any virtual properties nor an empty protected ctor (it can be private).

Join("PROPOSAL_PRODUCT", product =>
{
    product.Schema(IsaSchema.PROPOSALOWN);
    product.KeyColumn("PROPOSAL_ID");

    product.Component(Reveal.Member("_product"), proposalProduct =>
    {
        proposalProduct.Map...
    });
});
