Andrus..
I'm afraid it's still no go.. to make matters even worse the following 
lines  	
----------
Expression test = ExpressionFactory.unaryExp(
        Expression.MIN,
        "contId");
        
SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery(contact.class,test);
----------
don't even evaluate to sql like
select min(contId) from contact
instead I get this debug output
-----------
12372 [AWT-EventQueue-0] WARN access.QueryLogger  - SELECT t0.contId, 
t0.contName, t0.contType, t0.line1, t0.line2, t0.line3, t0.line4, 
t0.link, t0.linkId, t0.recordStatus, t0.usage FROM contact t0 WHERE ? 
[bind: 'contId'] - prepared in 102 ms.
12832 [AWT-EventQueue-0] WARN access.QueryLogger  - *** error.

'contId']
