There is nothing special about building a Cayenne-enabled application.
Just make sure you copy all the XML project files (cayenne.xml,
*.map.xml, *.driver.xml) into WEB-INF directory of the web application
or to a CLASSPATH location if this is not a webapp. Also you may find
it useful to run class generation every time before compiling (it is
"lazy" and "safe" in that it won't overwrite any of your custom code).
For more details see this:

Can't tell without looking at your current EJB design. In general I
would start by reverse engineering the database, generating Java
classes, and then seeing what business methods can be salvaged from
entity beans (and sometimes even session beans). Those would go into
the empty generated subclasses of your DataObjects.
Some high level discussion of different approaches is provided here:

Probably not... There are underlying differences of course, so if
something doesn't work like EOF would, this is not necessarily a bug :-)
