You could subclass the CayenneContext and add your own logic in there to automatically add some prefetches before you call super.performQuery(). However, you may want to decide whether all those prefetches are really needed. With query and object caches in Cayenne, you may find that you don't get that much performance benefit, even if you miss a cache and have to lazily load the relationships. I don't remember EOF well enough now (it was about 8 years ago I last used it) but was did it have a caching mechanism? What ever became of EOF/WO? Is it still kicking around somewhere with Project Wonder reverse engineering the WO code in order to fix bugs and add features? WOlips was a great model editing tool...
