Weblogic 7.0 CMP supports multiple tables.
For other servers You can map an entity to a view that joins multiple tables.

Not all servers support mapping entity beans to view.
In general if you are mapping across multiple tables then Entity Beans are probably not the best choice. I would go with a more advanced O/R Mapper like Hibernate.

thanks for your reply, but hibernate can be integrated with websphere, is it free source or we need to buy?

Hibernate is an extremely popular open source O/R Mapper. It is available under an LGPL license and is very feature complete. Take a look at Hibernate's Feature List.

Using CMP 2.0 sub classing we can make use of this sub classing code in bmp development to reduce coding in bmp, please let me know whats your feedback about this.

BMP is broken, it offers nothing. See these threads for more thoughts on BMP:

Is this because the application server needs to be able to create the view as well as use it? Something else? From the "use" perspective, I can't think of a reason why views wouldn't be supported.

This should not be a problem if we create the view manually.
