Note that the sendRedirect() method takes a "server-relative" path as
opposed to a "context-relative" path (as most other methods require).
In your example, you redirect to http://yourserver/userLoggedIn.jsp. If
your servlet is not part of the default context, you're redirecting to a
different application; hence, the application scope attribute is not
available. Try this instead:
String jspPath = request.getContextPath() + "/userLoggedIn.jsp";
response.sendRedirect( response.encodeRedirectURL(jspPath);
This way your redirect works as expected no matter which context path
you use for the application.
