Don't know if it is related, but a note on an issue in session tracking we got 
here (an how we soluced it)

We got the following scenario:
1) someone get a link to a struts form in an email
2) He get to the page by clicking on link
3) The page is in a 'secure' area, meaning he gets a popup from browser for the 
basic-auth
4) User login in and see the form (This is the first time tomcat send a webpage 
in this session)
5) User fills the form and submit
6) in the Action, request.getUserPrincipal() returns null

Diagnostic: session is lost at the second request (that is when tomcat will 
check if cookies is supported)

Reason: it seems tomcat does not parse the ;JSESSIONID= par of url when the 
form is multipart (for file uploads)

Solution: have to user go to an intermediate redirect page before *and* have 
the browser with cookies enabled
