------- Additional Comments From medthomas@ntlworld.com  2004-01-01 18:45 -------
After a quick discussion on tomcat-dev, the conclusion is that this is by 
design. The patch proposed (to always create the session) will not be applied 
as it is not desirable in all circumstances to have a session created for 
every authenticated user.

However, if this was made a configurable option (defaulting to off) then this 
would be acceptable.

I am therefore marking this report as an enhancement request.

In the absence of the enhancement, there is always the option to create the 
session in your web application.
