Duplicate key exception in Pet Store

Question

When signing into Pet Store javax.ejb.DuplicateKeyException is received even though a new
and unique ID is being created when the sigin is performed through the Account page.
Looking at diagnostic traces, one can see that the create customer logic is driven twice.
The second time it tries to create the ID it fails with a DuplicateKeyException. When
first Creating a new account via the "Sign In" link or Creating a new account following a
CheckOut you do not get the exception.
Scenario:
1) Go to Pet Store.
2) Select "Enter the store".
3) Select Account on the Pet Store Main Page.
4) Since you have not signed in, you are presented with the sign in screen. On that
screen, create a unique User ID and Password.
5) Update your account information and select Submit on the Account information page.
6) The failure occurs.

Hi,
This does not seem to be a bug on other systems, so perhaps something is a bit off in your environment? Try to shut down j2ee and the cloudscape DB, run the cleanup script from the bin directory of the RI app server, then restart the app server and DB, and redeploy the petstore.
