Have you looked at the Google App Engine for Java persistence blog at http://gae-java-persistence.blogspot.com
You should find some excellent JDO and JPA working examples here. I have found these very beneficial for me. There are other persistence interfaces available for GAE/J as well as JDO and JPA: Twig, Objectify, .... If you haven't yet chosen your persistence interface, time spent choosing wisely will be an investment which should pay off handsomely.
