I think the problem with this is that the session is new on the login page
and is not established
until the request is sent back to the client.
for instance...
loginPage starts a new session, and sets a bean in the session.
loginPage then forwards the request to another page.
the other page will not know yet that a session has been established because
the response has not yet gone back to the client.
I think if you reattempted the scenario again, the second login will work..
you probably worked this already though....
