I want to create a report query, but I need to get properties defined for the class I am quering. Is there a method I can call that call create a select statement that would give me the select done for all class properties - e.g select A.prop1, A.prop2, A.prop3, A.pro4 from A ?

I think that you could do it using a interceptor. You can find examples at wiki and docs:
