    Hi Borut, you may want to look at my copying DataMaps example:

    http://cwiki.apache.org/CAY/copying-datamaps.html

    It is old (still references "objectstyle" instead of "apache", but
    might work fine with minor changes (like changing the package name).
    (I haven't tried it on Cayenne 2.x+ yet.)

    I was able to use the same classes across different
    DataDomains/DataNodes even within the same running application using
    this technique. (I had 7 active database connections to development
    (x2), testing (x2), acceptance (x2), and production (x1) databases for
    a support program to examine application data internals.) The trick
    is to create your DataContext passing it the correct
    DataDomain/DataNode to use and then all is well. Cayenne handled
    everything very smoothly after that -- everything went to the proper
    database connection since the DataContext (which was created with the
    DataDomain/DataNode to use) does all the queries and the commits.
