Try encoding the ';' as follows:
<%
String refresh =
response.encodeURL("https://www.myserver.com/login/index.jsp";);
int jssid = refresh.indexOf(";jsessionid");
if(jssid > 0) {
refresh = refesh.substring(0, jssid) + "%3b" +
refresh.substring(jssid+1);
}
%>
<META http-equiv="refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=<%= refresh %>">
