    I didn't notice this before but it appears cayenne
    did not generate modifiers for the hierarchical class?

    What I mean is this:

    I HAVE:
    Location getParent()
    List getChildren();

    I am MISSING:
    setParent(Location)
    addToChildren(Location)
    removeFromChildren(Location)

    I have checked to make sure I didn't inadvertantly
    make the entity read-only. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Filip
