Cayenne is conceptually very similar to EOF so the API and architecture will instantly feel familiar to an experienced EOF programmer. Learning Cayenne is more like learning a dialect than learning a new language. > Regarding JPA, I've observed since I started working on EOF in 2010, very few > know about J2EE in this community.

The Criteria API alone made me want to grab my head by the eyesockets and remove it from my torso.
