fine-grained vs. coarse-grained EJBs?

Question

Java

Hello.
Dealing with EJB, I came across two new terms:
- coarse-grained
- fine-grained
I would like to know the translation of these terms and, if possible, their meaning.
Thanks in advance!

first comment:
Usually fine-grained means each Entity bean refers to one table -- coarse-grained means each Entity bean refers to > 1 table.
The "coarse-grained vs. fine-grained" argument is one of the oldest ones in EJB's. It's mostly gone away with EJB 2.0 and better tools, since most people agree that local EJB 2.0 Entity beans can be fine-grained without much problem.
Translation english -> russian by Mutko's method:
Normally fine-grained means each component belongs to one table - coarse-grained means each component belongs to >1 table.
