The problem here might be that you declare the id as a primitive instead of a wrapper.

So instead of:

private int id;

You should have:

private Integer id;

When you create the entity with the id is initialized as 0, instead of NULL.

That's why you get duplicate id constraint violation exceptions.

Only when the id is NULL the AUTO generation strategy will delegate the id assignment to the database.
