I have a customer object and a customer table. The customer table contains address information. I have chosen to seperate this information in the customer object into a value object named address. How would I map the address value object? I have included a example mapping of the customer object below.

You can split table mappings up into separate POJOs. In fact this is what Hibernate recommend you do (unless address is not a nullable property - in which case its clearer if you keep them together). Write a mapping for each part of the table - customer & address - give them the same PK column, but different POJO names. Then just treat the as you would normal objects.
