> This is feedback based on converting a large Java Cayenne project to the use of Property class available per CAY-1724 :
> 1. SelectQuery.addPrefetch(String prefetchPath)  <- this API should support working with properties.
> 2. DB paths, e.g. Orderings by DB PK column:   
>     SelectQuery.addOrdering("db:" + InsiderUser.ID_PK_COLUMN, SortOrder.ASCENDING);
>     Not sure yet how we can handle DB paths in general and PK in particular... 
> 3. ExpressionFactory.notLikeExp() is not implemented yet;
> 4. It will be good to have Property.in(List<?> list) method for convenience additionally to Property.in(E... values)
> 5. Compiling path expression for the Ordering object is one of the performance bottlenecks discovered in the aforementioned project. Caching ordering instances proved to be beneficial for the performance-sensitive pieces of code. Property object should either cache the Ordering or cache path Expression. I guess the later is a good approach in general, as a cached Expression can quicken building of qualifiers as well as orderings. Also need to make sure that whatever object we cache is immutable, so that callers can't modify it.
