Also I suspect I am not using a classic version of DAO. My DAO's are
morphed with the "business layer" and can have interactions with other
subsystems, not just Cayenne (e.g. caching, data access via web
services, etc.). Also they are not auto-generated, as any new methods
are created when a need in them arises in the application. The idea is
to keep it tight and avoid having any unused and unneeded methods.

I am using a form of DAOs (with injection) with the main reason
being that I can provide alternative implementations in a context-
sensitive manner without changing the DAO interface (something that
can't be done with the static methods), which is very handy in
numerous situations.

When using Cayenne are DAO's still the pattern used for findAll,

do this in Cayenne? For example in the pet store project I see DAO's
being implemented, but I know that example was taken from other
projects
that use DAO's to begin with so I'm not sure if it was just
retrofitted to
use DAO's with Cayenne. I tried to look at some other examples
from the
website, but most of those are either not complex enough to warrant
that
kind of structure or the links are dead. I hope this is
clear. :) Also
if DAO's are the recommended pattern to use is there a tool (i.e.
eclipse
plugin) that will generate them?
Thanks.
