It seems to me that you have " MyPersistentIdStore" in global.xml which is not what I suggested that you do.

I think you need to review your configuration, thinking carefully about what you are trying to achieve.  

As a simplification the rules go:

 - Bean definitions in global.xml can only refer to
      1) documented  beans (for global.xml)
      2) other bean definitions in global.xml
 - Bean definitions in subsidiary files (attribute-resolver, saml-nameid) can only refer to 
      1) documented beans for global.xml
      2) documented beans for that file 
      3) bean definitions in global.xml 
      4) bean definitions in that file only.

You CANNOT define a bean in a one subsidiary file and expect to see it in another on.

HINT, in your original mail:

- you refer to MyDataSource in attribute-resolver.xml
   > <BeanManagedConnection>MyDataSource</BeanManagedConnection>

- you refer to MyDataSource in saml-nameid.xml
  >         p:dataSource-ref="MyDataSource"

- you refer to shibboleth.StoredPersistentIdGenerator" saml-nameid.xml
