Solutions

1. Remove the entity name prefix from the graph text; provide it via the root parameter instead.

When it happens

Trigger: Two managed types are registered under the same entity name.

Common situations: Duplicate @Entity(name=...) values or two classes with the same simple name in one persistence unit.
