Expressions in-memory automatic type convertion
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: CAY-1105
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-1105
             Project: Cayenne
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Cayenne Core Library
    Affects Versions: 3.0
            Reporter: Andrey Razumovsky
            Assignee: Andrus Adamchik
         Attachments: patch-test-Expr.txt

The root of the problem is difference in behavior of expressions on server 
(using queries) and in-memory (using Expression.match(...). All DBMS I know 
support automatic type convertion, i.e. if I write 
SELECT * FROM a WHERE intProperty='1'
everything will go OK.

So, if I write an expression like [note quotes at 1!]
ExpressionFactory.greaterExp("intProperty", "1")

it will go normally with a query, but will result in an exception if I try to 
invoke match(...).
I suggest to make the behavior similiar and therefore implement automatic type 
convertion on expressions. I've submitted a patch with a number of tests, which 
all fail. I think the must all succeed.

Comments and other expression improvement suggestions are welcomed
