Yes. I posted a similar question not long ago. I wanted to know how to preserve the session under exactly this case (my specific need was to have a version in the Tomcat path, but hide that context / version from the user.)
I can tell you why it's NOT preserving it. Tomcat sets the cookie JSESSIONID for host=www.website.com, path /tomcatWebappName/someServlet. The browser sees the cookie for that path on the response (check - it is set). You then ask for /someServlet and there is no cookie with that path (the hosts match, of course) and so the browser does not send the cookie along. No cookie (JSESSIONID), no session.
