Hi,

I'm new to FNH, and I'm currently developing a project with Sharp
architecture.  I'm new to ORMs, being used to a more direct hand in
sql.

Here were my original classes:

    class Post : Entity
    {
         string name
         string content
         List<Tag>
    }

    class Tag : Entity
    {
      string name
     }

I let Automapper do it's stuff, but it was creating a foreign key in
the Tag table back to Post, which I didn't want, as I wanted Tag to be
it's own entity.  I was expecting a join table of PostId, TagID to be
created (inferred) upon schema generation.

So, after some reading, I added the join table to my classes section:

    class PostTag : Entity
    {
     Post   post
     Tag    tag
    }


and I changed the Post table to the following:

     class Post : ENtity
     {
      string name
      IList <PostTag>
      }

Tag class stays the same.  Now the generated schema creates the join
table schema as well.  Schemas now look as follows:

Post{id, name, content}

Tag{id, name}

PostTag{id, PostFK}



For PostTag, the TagFK isn't there.

Is there a way of doing this with automapper?  Also, I don't think
there should be a normal Id column  in this table.  It should
presumably be a table with a composite PK of PostId and TagID?

I don't want to be putting IList <PostTag>  onto my Tag class, as the
Tag class should not have a reference going back to the Post object.

Would anybody be able to help here?  Does this need an override, and
if so, how do I go about this?

I'm sorry if this is an EXTREMELY noobish question!
