Table mapping

[vwvbc]

I am very new to Seam. Here is my first question in regarding of the annotation "Entity".
In a situation where I only need to map a Java class into a portion of a table, but not the entire table, how it can be done?

I'm guessing that you mean "I don't want to map certain properties of my class". Just put @Transient on these fields (or getter methods, depending where you put @Id).

I recommend you get the basic JPA tutorial in the free chapter 2 of the book I advertise in my signature.
