------------------------------------

             Summary: Add SELF property to the cgen templates
                 Key: CAY-2754
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-2754
             Project: Cayenne
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: cgen
            Reporter: Nikita Timofeev
            Assignee: Nikita Timofeev
             Fix For: 4.3.M1


We got properties that reflect full entity, but they are created only via API: {{PropertyFacotry.createSelf(Entity.class)}}
It could be useful to add these properties by default to the generated class.

Example:
{code:java}
public static final EntityProperty<Artist> SELF = PropertyFactory.createSelf(Artist.class);
{code}

And here's a query example:
{code:java}
ObjectSelect.query(Artist.class)
                .columns(Artist.SELF, Artist.PAINTING_ARRAY.count())
                .select(context);
{code}
