Cristopher:
Thanks for the Firefox/cookies hint, it was very helpful to figure out the
problem. It was related with Internet Explorer. I was using IE, so I decided
to try Firefox to test the cookies configuration. In Firefox the app worked
perfectly. Searching again in the tomcat list archives I found that a
"patch" provided by Microsoft for IE 5.5 and 6.0 causes cookies to be
rejected from servers with non-alphanumeric characters, such as "_". The
server name with the problem has an "_", when I used the IP instead of the
name the session problems were resolved.
thanks,

Ar you using the same browser to connect to both of your apps (the
working one, and the non-working one)?
If you are using Mozilla Firefox, is it possible that you have banned
one of the servers from setting cookies? I just had that problem this
morning on one of my test servers, actually. I nearly lost my mind
trying to figure out what was going on.
Also, if you are using ff, try the LiveHttpHeaders extension so you can
watch the HTTP headers going between the server and the browser. You
might be able to see if your browser is either ignoring the cookie or
(for some bizarre reason), sending the wrong one.
