Yes, it should. I've had redirects and sessions working with no trouble on 
Resin. (Also you don't get that annoying tomcat/msie bug where two pages are 
sometimes sandwiched together with a HTTP header in the middle if you do a 
redirect.)

Are you absolutely sure they're both in the same context?

I was in error.  The machine I was on had a version of tomcat prior to
3.1.  I upgraded and all is well. Thanks for the help.
