    You could also add cover methods to flatten selected attributes. Like,
    in an Employee, you could add departmentName() which would turn around
    and call department().departmentName(). Of course, that would resolve
    the fault, too, if needed. Be careful doing sets that way, though.
    Since it makes it look like an attribute of Employee, you might be
    tempted to try to set the value using a keypath, which wouldn't work and
    wouldn't be caught at compile-time.

    Hi,

    I couldn't find anything about flattened attributes in the manual, is
    that possible with cayenne?
    I have a to-one relationship and I want some of the attributes to
    appear directly in my class, but not the relationship itself (kind of
    like what you can do with the same feature on EOModeler).

    thanks in advance,

    Fernando
