Entity beans are object representations of persistent data, i.e. data that lives beyond client sessions and server cycles. I suggest, if you have not done so already, that you go through the J2EE tutorial on java.sun.com/j2ee and go through the entity bean exercises. They will show you how entity beans are bound to relational data, and how they are coupled architecturally to session beans and the presentation layer.
