Cannot see nodes on neo4j web interface created using EmbeddedJava program

Question

I am able to successfully run the Embeddedjava program.but my nodes are not getting reflected when i open the neo4j interface through localhost.For your reference

I made the following changes to my neo4j-server.properties

org.neo4j.server.database.location=C:/neo4j-community-1.9.6/data/graph.db/
org.neo4j.server.webadmin.data.uri=C:/neo4j-community-1.9.6/data/graph.db/

this is the same DB_path that i am using in the code.

Everytime I run the program ,the count on the dashboard increases by 2(i have created 2 nodes in my program).But when i run the query

START root=node(*)
 return count(root)

it gives me the answer as 0.

Also,i noticed that the data/keystore file does not get generated when i run the java program.it gets generated only when i start the interface through localhost:7474.Does this have anything to do ?

public static void main( final String[] args )
{
    EmbeddedNeo4j hello = new EmbeddedNeo4j();
    hello.createDb();
    hello.removeData();
    hello.shutDown();
}

You are creating DB then calling removeData.
