You can map a single entity bean to several tables using the @SecondaryTable or @SecondaryTables class level annotations. To express that a column is in a particular table, use the table parameter of @Column or @JoinColumn.
Is this a good aproach? Well it really depends what you are aproaching.
Obviously this kind of entity will cause some extra DML and Joins. But if you have a sound reason to split your data in two tables this is the way to go.l
