Try this. After step 1, use the JMX console or twiddle to get the deployment info. Do the same after step 4. Compare those values. If they are different, then your code is hanging on to the old values. If that does not help, please post your code (or a simplified variation of your code) that exhibits the behavior. Remember to enclose your source code in 'code' tags (select the source code, click the Code button), and Preview your response to check the formatting before clicking Submit.
