For those of us who want getters without the get-prefix (e.g. EOF fugitives)
Hi all,
if you’d like to drop the “get"-prefix from your DataObject accessor methods, here’s a pom-file and a template to help. The pom/template combination generates a BeanInfo class for each entity that java reads to check the names of getter and setter methods. If you use this, Cayenne will function perfectly with getter methods that don’t include the “get”-prefix.
I included the wosuperclass-template which generate EOF style DataObject classes, just to make the example complete.

Whoa, yes—that’s true. I haven’t hit the issue, probably because I’m using WO which uses Apple’s KVC rather than beanystuff to access and modify object data. And I believe Cayenne is using the correct methods to access bean data in some cases, since creating BeanInfo classes eliminated errors I was previously encountering (eg. when sorting lists of DataObjects).
But yes, as you point out, PropertyUtils.getProperty() fails for all of my properties since BeanAccessor hardcodes the get-prefix. We should probably fix Cayenne to comply with the JavaBeans spec in this regard.

I think that will break PropertyUtils/BeanAccessor. BeanAccessor uses
JavaBeans naming conventions but doesn't look at BeanInfo.
