Question

How do you query for a list of objects stored using GAE, where a Set field contains a specified string? ie Imagine this imaginary example:

@PersistenceCapable
class Photos {
    @PrimaryKey
    @Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY)
    private Key key;

    String name = "";
    Set<String> tag = new Hashset<String>();
}

Assuming there are 40,000 photos in the “database”, How do I Query all photos where tag='2009'

Or another example from google’s documentation, if you have the following class:

@PersistenceCapable
public class Person {
    @PrimaryKey
    @Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY)
    private Key key;

    @Persistent
    private Set<Key> favoriteFoods;

    // ...
}

How do you fetch a list of all Person objects where they have a specific favourite food Key?

How would you do that in Java ?
collField.contains(:stringParam)
