I'm pretty sure Cayenne doesn't validate the schema at runtime. So you could 
even add new elements and attributes directly to the XML if you want to forgo a 
GUI editor.

Yeah, I was just answering the question about the CM file itself.  Either
create or own properties or YAML or similar.

Another option is to create a separate file and put things there, like a
properties file or a json document or something.  It's not a bad solution.

Hi Ken,

This isn't doable in CM currently, but is a future goal (at least of mine):

https://github.com/apache/cayenne-modeler

Just haven't gotten there yet.

Generic dictionary data with entities?

[Ken Anderson]

All,

In EOF, I used to decorate entities with additional data in the uerInfo of the 
entities.  Right now, I would like to add the entity name of the alias entity 
to the model, so I can access it in the apps.

Is there an equivalent function in Cayenne?  I couldn’t find any way to add 
user info to an entity in the modeler.

For example, we have an entity Location, and there’s an entity called 
LocationAlias.  Rather than put a static string in Location for LocationAlias, 
I’d rather put something in the model so a generic method could find entities 
based on alias values.

Thanks,
Ken
