Description

A problem was found while using some Glassfish Java EE 6 samples with the OpenJPA provider.
The sample was using double quotes for a literal on the "NOT LIKE" expression instead of the required single quotes:

select count(l) from LogRecord l where l.record NOT LIKE "Canceling timer%"

We do not allow double quoted literals in JPQL queries. The above JPQL resulted an error with text message:

Lexical error at line 1, column 58. Encountered: "\"" (34), after : ""
