I’m not sure this would explain everything you’re seeing here, but you can get 
session loss (and the resulting unexpected bounce to a login page) when using 
cookies for session ID storage if WOSession.domainForIDCookies() is returning 
something “too specific” for your deployment setup. By default, that method 
returns the application’s full path, right down to the “.woa” extension. So, 
for example, if you’re using URL re-writing in deployment, there could easily 
be a mismatch. I usually override it to return “/”. Again, not sure it explains 
everything you’re seeing there, but it’s something to rule out.
