Hi,
You cannot "relate" an entity bean with all the rows of a table. But you
can think of an entity bean instance as equivalent to one row of a
table. The primary key of the entity bean is equal to the primary key of
the row. So, all the rows of the table is equivalent to an array or
enumeration of all instances of the entity beans.
Hope this makes sense.
