There actually seems to be a mistake in the documentation:

> // Give me all Employees with lastName equal to Smith or Jones
    Query query = pm.newQuery(Employee.class,
                              ":p.contains(lastName)");
    query.execute(Arrays.asList("Smith", "Jones"));

Surely it should be:

> // Give me all Employees with lastName equal to Smith or Jones
    Query query = pm.newQuery(Employee.class,
                              "p.contains(:lastName)");
    query.execute(Arrays.asList("Smith", "Jones"));
