Description

Currently, cayenne doesn't support java enums in its expression syntax and, by extension, in qualifier statements. This makes it impossible to use an enum type as a class descriminator for inheritance.

Enum expressions would look like:

propertyName = some.package.Type.CONSTANT

to make it consistent with JPA.
