For what it's worth, I've been doing something similar since Cayenne 1.1.
How I handled it was to invalidate any objects pointing to the deleted object.

> I've got reasons to keep all records in database, even those user had deleted. As a solution, I have a field called "deleted" which is 0 by default and 1 if user had removed the data. To show only object with 'deleted = 0' I add this qualifier to all objEntities. Finally, I call setDeleted('1') instead of context.deleteObject()
