response.sendRedirect(" " ); question

I have a .jsp page which has the following contents:

/ 
/----------------------------------------------------------------------- 
------------------------------------
<html>
<%
	// if the user is not authenticated, we need to send them to the login  
page
	if(session.getAttribute("USER_AUTHORIZED") == null ||  
session.getAttribute("USER_AUTHORIZED").equals("false"))
    	{
		response.sendRedirect("/login/Login.jsp");
  	}
%>

<body>
	<p>I don't know why this is being called when the user is not already  
authenticated </p>
</body>
</html>
/ 
/----------------------------------------------------------------------- 
------------------------------------

Now if the USER_AUTHORIZED attribute is not set, it will enter the if  
block and get redirected to the login.jsp page. The browser shows me  
the content of the body page after the if block instead. Does after  
getting redirected the call returns to this page and completes the  
processing of this page ?

This used to work in Tomcat 3.XX i recently upgraded to Tomcat 4.1.18  
.. is there some change in the behaviour of response.sendRedirect () ?

thanks.
