Message redelivery not working in 4.0.1sp1

[cookserr]

Message redelivery doesn't seem to be working in 4.0.1sp1. The twist is that the same code base works in 4.0 and 4.0.2.

mdb code:

public void onMessage(javax.jms.Message message) throws EJBException {
ObjectMessage objectMessage = (ObjectMessage)message;
try {
if (objectMessage.getObject() instanceof Event) {
Event event = (Event)objectMessage.getObject();
log.info("Received event of type " + event.getEventType());
...
}
} catch (Exception e) {
messageContext.setRollbackOnly();
log.severe("Failed to process event: " + ServicesException.getPrintStackTraceAsString(e));
}


Client code:

public static void postMessage(String queueConnectionFactory, String queueName, Serializable object, String url) throws Exception{
Connection connection = null;
try {
Context jndiContext = getContext(url);
connection = getConnection(jndiContext, queueConnectionFactory);
Destination destination = (Queue) jndiContext.lookup(queueName);
Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
MessageProducer messageProducer = session.createProducer(destination);
ObjectMessage message = session.createObjectMessage();
message.setObject(object);
messageProducer.send(message);
}catch (Exception e) {
log.info(ServicesException.getPrintStackTraceAsString(e));
throw e;
}finally{
if (connection != null )
connection.close();
}


When restarting jboss the logs would seem to indicate that the messages still reside in persistant storage (hypersonic in this case). Interesting that the redelivery count is greater than the limit.

A little help would be appreciated (going back to 4.0 or upgrading to 4.0.2 not an option as this time)
