That is a confusing aspect of Cayenne. The Artist.class helps Cayenne
know which DataNode to use, which is your connection to your database.
If all of your classes/objects are contained in a single database
(which is the most common case), you can use any of of your classes
and they'll connect you to the proper DataNode. (Keep in mind that a
single DataContext can manage objects from different databases, so the
DataContext needs to know how to do the database routing -- and it
uses the Java class to determine this.)
