Actually, you can. You just need to specify your own Configuration options:
For instance, I use a ServletContextListener that sets this up. For
WO, you could probably call this from the Application constructor.
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event)
{
DefaultConfiguration conf = new DefaultConfiguration();
conf.addClassPath("com/xyz/cayenne/model");
Configuration.initializeSharedConfiguration(conf);
}

Generally, you wouldn't. But the possibility is there if you need it.

Actually, you should return the default cayenne session data context instead:
return ServletUtil.getSessionContext(session);
But I can't remember how accessible the HttpSession is under 5.2.

See http://www.objectstyle.org/cayenne/userguide/misc.html
This page hasn't been ported over to the Cayenne wiki yet. It'd be
great if you'd do so and also add in the helpful tips you provided
above!
Actually, most of it has been ported, so you'd just need to add more
to this page:

Thanks.
