I also discovered that build 3.1-b04 works fine, or at least my test can run without the Connection refused problem. That's great!
Now I can go test and see whether my earlier persistence-related problems have been solved. I'd be curious to know, however, what's different between 3.1-SNAPSHOT and 3.1-b04.
Best,
Laird
