Tutorial Page edited by Andrus Adamchik Tutorial This is a step-by-step tutorial showing how to write a database application with Cayenne. When you are done with it, you should have an understanding of the basics of object-relational mapping using CayenneModeler and how to use the Cayenne framework in standalone (command-line or otherwise) and web applications. The tutorial uses Maven, Eclipse IDE and Derby database, however it can be easily recreated with another combinbation of a database, an IDE and a build system.
