Are you just trying to find an object by the property on a related object?
ExpressionFactory.matchExp(Contact.PRIMARY_CONTACT_NAME_PROPERTY + "."
+ ContactName.FIRST_NAME_PROPERTY, firstName)
For example, if you're trying to find an employee by department name,
ExpressionFactory.matchExp(Employee.DEPARTMENT_PROPERTY + "." +
Department.NAME_PROPERTY, targetDepartmentName)
You can chain together as many relationships as you like, but be aware
of potential outer join issues if there's any chance that one of the
relationships may be null.
For example, here's a fun one that operates on two different kinds of
entities, with parts of the expression path being built conditionally:
===========================================================
String pathToFeePrefix;
String pathToFeePaymentHistoryPrefix;
Class searchEntityClass;
if (searchByFeeInsteadOfFeePaymentReceipt)
{
pathToFeePrefix = "";
pathToFeePaymentHistoryPrefix =
Fee.FEE_PAYMENT_RECEIPT_LIST_PROPERTY + ".";
searchEntityClass = com.gvea.eng_work_mgmt.entity.cayenne.Fee.class;
}
else
{
pathToFeePrefix = FeePaymentReceipt.FEE_PROPERTY + ".";
pathToFeePaymentHistoryPrefix = "";
searchEntityClass =
com.gvea.eng_work_mgmt.entity.cayenne.FeePaymentReceipt.class;
}
[... one example usage...]
oredExpressionList.add(ExpressionFactory.matchExp(pathToFeePrefix +
Fee.FEE_CYCLE_PROPERTY + "."
+ FeeCycle.INITIAL_AUTHORIZATION_DOCUMENT_PROPERTY + "."
+
AuthorizationDocument.DEPENDENT_PERMIT_DOCUMENT_PROPERTY + "."
+ PermitDocument.AGENCY_PROPERTY, agency));
