you have to make your own orion-ejb-jar.xml file in that case and tell orion to make a table of your dependent class:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE orion-ejb-jar PUBLIC "-//Evermind//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 1.1 runtime//EN" "http://www.orionserver.com/dtds/orion-ejb-jar.dtd">
<orion-ejb-jar>
<enterprise-beans>
<entity-deployment name="MyObject" table="MyObject">
<cmp-field-mapping name="dependentField">
<list-mapping table="MyObject_dependentFields">
<value-mapping type="my.package.dependentClass">
<cmp-field-mapping>
<fields />
</cmp-field-mapping>
</value-mapping>
</list-mapping>
</cmp-field-mapping>
</entity-deployment>
</enterprise-beans>
</orion-ejb-jar>
