Initially, it was a static method to fetch a Patient from the primary  
key (give the DataContext, the String, returns the Patient or null).
Since whatever I was doing would crash Cayenne, I simply tried to do  
fetch all patients:
Here is the function (will all my experiments commented out :-)
Oviously, I simply want to fetch a Patient from his key (a varchar of  
approx. 35 characters).
        public static Patient patientWithPKInContext(String pk, DataContext  
dataContext) {
          //Expression q = ExpressionFactory.matchExp 
(Patient.BIRTH_CITY_PROPERTY,"Bitola");
          //Expression q = Expression.fromString("patientPk = '" + pk + "'");
//	  Patient p = (Patient)DataObjectUtils.objectForPK(dataContext,  
"Patient", pk);
          //System.out.println("--- found object: " + p);
          //return p;
        
//	  System.out.println("EXP:" + q.toString());
        //    SelectQuery s = new SelectQuery(Patient.class,q);
          //  List patients = dataContext.performQuery(s);
     SelectQuery allPatients = new SelectQuery(Patient.class);
     List patients = dataContext.performQuery(allPatients);
        
            if(patients.size() == 0)
               return null;
            else
               return (Patient)patients.get(0);
        
     }
