Catalina Wei commented on OPENJPA-1782: --------------------------------------- Double quoted string literals are allowed in JPQL. A double quoted string literal starts with a double quote - " and ends with a double quote, but it can not contain a double quote. A lexical error is reported if any double quotes appear within a double quoted string literal. For example, the following string literals are valid: "You're right" "This is a double quoted string literal" If you need double quote(s) in a string literal, enclose the string in single quotes, i.e. use single quoted string literal. For example, the following single quoted string literal contains a double quote: 'This is a single quoted string literal that contains a double quote - ".
