>From reading the EJB spec and a number of other documents, I have gained the impression that (one table row == one entity bean) if I want to use CMP. I am currently in the progress of reading the J2EE Blueprints, and in a discussion on the cons of using entity beans, the following is said: "(...) Therefore modeling every object representing a row in the database as an entity bean is not recommended. An entity bean is better suited to represent a coarse-grained business object that provides more complex behavior than only get and set methods for its fields." ( http://java.sun.com/j2ee/blueprints/ejb_tier/entity_beans/index.html ) in the bullet titled "Representing persistent data", first bullet on the page. This seems to imply that there is another method that I have not seen in which I may not need one entity bean per row. Is someone able to elaborate on this?
