whether your Entity Bean has to be the exact replica of your database

Hi i am using EJB2.1

My question is whether your Entity Bean has to be the exact replica of your database?

eg:

If i have a table say x and it has 4 fields in it....

so now my entity has 4 getter and setter

If i modify my db's X table by adding one more field

do i need to add the getter setter for the new field....

and can u tell me the exact diff in this senario for CMP and BMP

Thank you
