Hi people!

I have created a custom CompositeUserType that maps two properties of a 
complex domain object and it works fine. The problem is that I have many 
instances of this type in another entity and each of these instances shares 
the same value for one of its properties and I would like to persist them 
to DB so that there's only one column for that property per table, and as 
many columns for the other property as there are instances of that object. 
Blaaaaaaah, that sentence is awkward! :D

Here's the deal. I'm developing an accounting application. I have an entity 
called Account where I used the Money type to deal with money values, and I 
have many properties in Account that are typeof(Money).

class Account {
Money DebitAmount { get; set; }
Money CreditAmount { get; set; }
Money LastYearBalance { get; set; }
Money OpeningBalance { get; set; }
... // other properties
}

In my mapping file I use my MoneyComposite type to map Money values to two 
columns:
1. PropertyName_Value
2. PropertyName_Currency

This works great but unfortunately it creates a pair of such columns for 
every typeof(Money) property in Account, i.e. DebitAmount has 
DebitAmountValue and DebitAmountCurrency; CreditAmount has ... well you get 
the picture.
Since it's only logical that an account can be bound to only one currency, 
it would be better if it were possible to have only one Currency column in 
the underlying table where that currency would be used for every Money 
instance in the entity.

I hope I've made my question clear enough. So if anyone can please help me 
with this and tell me if there's a way to achieve this (preferably) without 
separating Currency from Money, I would be most grateful!

Thank you for your time!
