    I'm not sure how overriding getters and setters could stop cayenne
    from working. We are doing that too, and there are no problem (but we
    are using remote persistence).
    In the first post you mentioned that getting related object does not
    work, now you are mentioning that set method is not running at all.
    What about get method, is it executed ?

     From what I understand your code when you set a value it shall fire
    an event to every listener, but not when you get value. I don't know
    why you would do it this way, what kinds of objects are listening to
    those changes ?

    I'm probably wrong, but shouldn't you be firing events in DataObjects
    on get() to notify GUI on changes, and listen for events fired in GUI
    to set the values ?
