From what I understand, it's not JDBC that's not supported, but the
lack of a Google Apps Engine JDBC driver.
I haven't tried it, but it seems like it'd be easy enough set up.
Yes, reflection isn't supported.
Again, though, I think the real fitting point is not getting Cayenne
to run in entirety on the app engine as a java -> javascript
translated byte code, but to make sure that client-side ROP works on
the apps engine, with Cayenne running on the server-side.
