Current default Cayenne unit tests are probably a bad model, as most
bootstrap code was written before Cayenne was even operational.
However the new Maven-based integration test package that targets
testing of POJO's is the state of the art as far as I am concerned
(can be used from Ant as well of course):
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/cayenne/main/trunk/
integration-test/
You can mirror this approach:
* generated entity classes are placed in the "main" source folder
* test cases a placed in the "test" source folder
* a common superclass of all test cases performs shared stack
initialization and creates the schema from Cayenne mapping (or from a
manual SQL script - whichever applies)
* ItestDBUtils is used to perform raw DB operations bypassing Cayenne
(this is still work in progress - more utility methods can be added):
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/cayenne/main/trunk/
integration-test/itest-common/src/main/java/org/apache/cayenne/itest/
ItestDBUtils.java

Yes, we at ish have many times marveled at the junit tests in
Cayenne. And not really understood them. We've long wanted to do
something similar in our application and might return to it in the
future when we have time. It would be great to document this
process and possibly create a framework to make this easier. I
wonder if a suitable framework might be build inside Cayenne itself.
