    OK. I've been hacking at this for quite a while now and I can't get
    something to work _nicely_ that would do the work of the following
    query.

    select * from T1 where not exists (select * from T2 where T2.a = T1.a)

    I've heard people say try this and try that, but I'm not getting it.
    It seems that the solution lies somewhere around SQLTemplate, but I
    haven't gotten that to work. Can anyone share some light here?
    Surely there must be a nice solution to this. I'm trying to get a
    list of T1 objects in the end.

    Here's a link to my current code. If you spot anything that I could
    be doing better, I'd also appreciate any tips. I often struggle
    finding good docs for how to do certain things in Cayenne and my Java
    is rusty, been living in C for a while now.
