Could you be more specific on when it should detect that? IIRC there
were some discussions on that in the past. You provide no references
though.
I guess I don't understand, because I would say "always". If an outer
join was required for an Expression, but Cayenne didn't generate it,
then generate an Exception.
Isn't it unambigous when an Expression as a Qualifier requires an
OUTER JOIN or some other SQL construct that Cayenne does not support?
Also there is an effort underway to support outer joins (we will have
to do it in 3.0 anyways as the goal is to be compatible with the JPA
spec that requires them):
