Veering offtopic here with a bit of 3.1 advertising :) Cayenne has always
allowed a lot of stack configuration flexibility compared to the alternatives.
Things like multiple DataDomains, multiple DataNodes per domain, the ability to
change configuration on the fly, etc. Now 3.1 DI makes this flexibility much
more accessible to end users and incomparably easier to manage.
The other day I started some work on 3.1 PDF documentation [1]. A few chapters
that are mostly done are dealing with the topic of customization (namely
Chapter 11 and Appendix A)
Cheers,
