I'm looking to create a many to many relationship using NHibernate. I'm not sure how to map these in the XML files. I have not created the classes yet, but they will just be basic POCOs.

Tables

Person
personId
name

Competency
competencyId
title

Person_x_Competency
personId
competencyId

Would I essentially create a List in each POCO for the other class? Then map those somehow using the NHibernate configuration files?
