Redirect causes a new request, not a new session. A few other things to try: - Check that your server is actually sending a session cookie or rewriting the URL (change your browser settings to see when the server sends you a cookie) - If your server supports it, try using an HttpSessionListener and HttpSessionAttributeListener to help debug when sessions are created and attributes added/removed - If you still can't see the problem, post the relevant code from your action
