welcome-page redirections don't preserve sessionid

           Summary: welcome-page redirections don't preserve sessionid
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.24
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Servlet & JSP API
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: cbook@rim.net


My welcome page is set to index.jsp.  All my links append ;jsessionid=<someid> 
to them.
so links to http://mydomain.com/someurl.do;jsessionid=<someid> works properly.

However when I link to the root of the domain: 
http://mydomain.com/;jsessionid=<someid>, tomcat redirects this request to 
http://mydomain.com/index.jsp without the sessionid.

A new session is created and all the previous session info is lost.

welcome-page redirections should preserve the sessionid.
