You are experiencing the same problem I am. Yes, Tomcat caches the home handle. The problem is there is no way to indicate that the handle is invalid because it is not until the home interface is received and the create() method called that you have this problem.
I am in the process of doing some research into the code and will post a query to the development list to see if there is interest in a feature forcing Tomcat to always use the ObjectFactory to retrieve the home interface rather than retrieving it from the cached HomeHandle.
