What part do you want a sample for?  Building the filter object?  I'm no java developer but I think you should be able to implement this.  These were adapted from the C# samples.

   java.lang.object[] ret;
   java.lang.object[] filter = new java.lang.object[1]; //Final filter array

//MyID is a parameter from the calling app

   filter[0] = MakeSimpleFilter(new java.lang.object("ownerID"), MyID, new java.lang.string("equals"));

//Helper function to enhance code readability

  private sForceConn.mapEntry[] MakeSimpleFilter(java.lang.string Field, java.lang.object Value, java.lang.string Operator)
  {

//sForceConn is the binding or proxy client to sfconnector

   sForceConn.mapEntry[] Filter = new sForceConn.mapEntry[3];
   Filter[0] = new sForceConn.mapEntry();
   Filter[1] = new sForceConn.mapEntry();
   Filter[2] = new sForceConn.mapEntry();

   Filter[0].key = "field";
   Filter[0].value = Field;

   Filter[1].key = "value";
   Filter[1].value = Value;

   Filter[2].key = "operator";
   Filter[2].value = Operator;

   return Filter;
  }

This is the most basic of filters.  Although the documentation states that there is an implied equality operator, it will be easier to manage more complex filters if the operator is handled explicitly.

Here is a logical and filter:

   java.lang.object[] ret;
   java.lang.object[] filter = new java.lang.object[1]; //Final filter array
   java.lang.object[] andFilter = new java.lang.object[2]; //and'd filter

   //Create simple filter as first part of and'd filter
   andFilter[0] = MakeSimpleFilter(new java.lang.string("ownerID"), MyID, new java.lang.string("equals"));
   //Create simple filter as second part of and'd filter
   andFilter[1] = MakeSimpleFilter(new java.lang.string("title"), new java.lang.string("President"), new java.lang.string("starts with"));

   //Create complex final and'd filter
   filter[0] = MakeAndOrFilter(andFilter, new java.lang.string("and"));

//helper function for readability

  private sForceConn.mapEntry[] MakeAndOrFilter(java.lang.object Value, java.lang.string Operator)
  {
   sForceConn.mapEntry[] Filter = new sForceConn.mapEntry[2];
   Filter[0] = new sForceConn.mapEntry();
   Filter[1] = new sForceConn.mapEntry();

   Filter[0].key = new java.lang.string("value");
   Filter[0].value = Value;

   Filter[1].key = new java.lang.string("operator");
   Filter[1].value = Operator;

   return Filter;
  }

As you can see, the filter gets complex quickly.
