I'd like to add just one further point. It is a common design pattern
to create one read-only 'shared' context which is used to fetch and
display information. This shared context lives for the life of the
application. Then when users 'go into edit mode' whatever that means
for your application, you create a new context for them and manage
their changes until they save in that dedicated context.
You need to be careful because you cannot relate two objects in
different contexts, but it isn't hard to copy objects from one context
to another.
There is nothing in Cayenne which enforces a context read-only or
'shared', it is just the manner in which you use it.
