We have managed to produce a simple JUnit test case & will upload it shortly. It consists of a Main class, a DAO and and entity class (HibPerson). There are two context files; the main class creates two corresponding application contexts and in separate threads performs loops inserting new entities with ids generated using the enhanced TableGenerator using hilo optimizer. If you let it run then you should see (eventually) a constraint violation exception as in the stack given at the end of this comment. The suggested fix from the previous comment by Tomasz fixes this issue.

There is also a pom file, so it may be easiest to run by importing into a Maven-capable project in Eclipse.
