One problem is that you have designated a welcome-file as the login page, 
pretty much forcing an infinite loop if a client doesn't request a specific 
resource.  You want your login page to be completely separate (e.g., login.jsp) 
- it should never be directly referenced by a client.  The server handles the 
replay of the original request once the login has been satisfied.
