I agree. My favorite method is to use Domain Driven Design techniques.

Subject: Re: Cayenne pattern quesiton
I would argue against putting finder methods in the generated
entities, as I think it is a separate concern and you can easily end
up with tightly coupled code which is difficult to refactor.
The "Rich Domain" model can end up becoming the "Blob" anti-pattern.
I don't think stateful entities objects should be be mixed up with
static finder methods.
