  When using parameter markers within CriteriaBuilder UPDATE
  queries, EclipseLink throws an exception.
  Example:
  ´´´
  CriteriaBuilder cb = em.getCriteriaBuilder();
  CriteriaUpdate<SimpleEntity> cquery =
  cb.createCriteriaUpdate(SimpleEntity.class);
  Root<SimpleEntity> root = cquery.from(SimpleEntity.class);
  ParameterExpression<Integer> intValue =
  cb.parameter(Integer.class);
  ParameterExpression<String> strValue =
  cb.parameter(String.class);
  cquery.set(root.get(SimpleEntity_.intVal1), intValue);
  cquery.where(cb.equal(root.get(SimpleEntity_.intVal2),
  strValue));
  query = em.createQuery(cquery);
  query.setParameter(intValue, 9);
  query.setParameter(strValue, "HELLO");
  query.executeUpdate();
  ´´´
  Exception:
  ´´´
  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No parameter with name :
  Parameter[name=null] was found within the query:
  UpdateAllQuery(referenceClass=SimpleEntity ).
