Thanks Andrea, this is the kind of additional advice I am looking for.  So far, 
to me converting my object to a SimpleFeature actually doesn’t look as daunting 
as creating my own PropertyAccessor, although I don’t think I would have too 
much trouble with the latter either.  However, at the moment, creating my own 
PropertyAccessor doesn’t look to be the shortest path to getting something 
working which is what converting to a SimpleFeature has done for me.  I am just 
trying to verify an overall design approach and this is just one of the many 
details I need to work out.

If I hit a snag with using SimpleFeature then I will definitely be looking at 
other options,
Thanks,

--Steve

Any further thoughts you may have on this are much appreciated,

Here is another option to consider.
CQL parses to Filter, which in turn evaluates an Object, not a Feature.
So how do we evaluate properies against a random object? Using property 
accessors,
which can be registered in SPI:

http://docs.geotools.org/latest/javadocs/org/geotools/filter/expression/PropertyAccessor.html

So you could write your own property accessor that knows how to extract the 
properties out of
your objects, instead of converting them to simple features.

I don't think we have docs on how to write an accessor (this is kind of 
advanced stuff, Jody please
correct me if I'm wrong) but have a look at PropertyAccessor sublasses with 
your IDE, and see how they are getting
registered in SPI checking the META-INF/services directory in the same geotools 
module

Cheers
Andrea
