Session to my knowledge does not get invalidated on 
response.sendRedirect( url ).  If there is a problem, it might be you 
need to use response.encodeURL( url ) as you send the redirect -- as in 
response.sendRedirect( response.encodeURL( url ) ).  Basically if the 
client doesn't accept cookies or if tomcat doesn't know yet, it'll 
encode the jsessionid on the end of your url to maintain the session.
