As Peter points out, if you're using HSQL that is your problem.
HSQL cannot/must not be used with JBM for anything other than playing around with a few
demos. It does not have transaction isolation amongst other things. This is also covered
in the user guide and on the wiki.
Can you clarify which database you are using?
