Yes ,you can have one entity bean for multiple tables.However,I do not think you can map one variable in your CMP EJB to two (or more) fields from different tables because one entity bean represent a row of data in a table.

Srinivas,
Yes, you can associate multiple table in a database with a single entity bean, but you will not be able to use the CMP (Container-Managed Persistence), but you will need to use BMP (Bean-Managed Persistence): you have to handle the entire lifecycle of your bean.
In the new specs (EJB 2.0) that are not yet formalized officially, the CMP will be able to manage relationships between table, helping, probably, cases like yours.
