Little known secret about EOQualifiers... you can use them to call methods with a signature like
public boolean methodName(Object obj) So you should also be able to do something like entity.userInfo containsKey "wiggly wompus" or some such :) The EOQualifier documentation puts a colon after the selector name, but that failed when I tried it. I would not suggest putting selector methods on your session or EOs though, since anything you put on either side of the qualifier selector is cached automatically by the rule system.
