It's a bug, you're using 3.1.1 with that starter's kit. It's a bug in the sample webapp, and if you dig into it, you can fix it. I know I've seen it before, and I think it's come up in the forums before. Not sure if there's a Jira issue, but since 3.1.1 webapp isn't a huge focal point (due to the new changes in 3.2) it might not be fixed.
