can I use same persistence unit name in multiple wars?

[llraj]

I have 2 wars that use the same PU name in their respective persistence.xml. This works in Glassfish v2.1.1 and v3 however I get a component already exists error in JBoss 5.1.0GA

The first war is deployed successfully but the second war fails deployment with below error,

2010-10-29 08:53:29,916 WARN  [org.jboss.deployers.structure.spi.helpers.AbstractDeploymentContext] (main) Unable to register deployment mbean org.jboss.metadata.jpa.spec.PersistenceUnitMetaData.commonPUName

That's a bug which has been fixed in latest AS6.x versions (try 6.0.0.M5).
