This test worked for me

Query query = pm.newQuery(Employee.class);
query.setFilter("lastName.startsWith(lastNameParam)");
query.setOrdering("lastName, firstName, hireDate desc");
query.declareParameters("String lastNameParam");
List<Employee> results = (List<Employee>) query.execute(lastname);
if (results.size()>0) {
for (Employee e : results) { //e
}



the .startsWith(...) was in effect the same as .matches(...) because I
was NOT allowed to have wildchars as a prefix anyway
