My filter calls HttpServletRequest.isSecure() which returns true
It then calls Cookie.getSecure() for the JSESSIONID cookie which returns false.
I am expecting this to return true since all connections have been over https.
Or should I be looking elswhere?

Tomcat will create its JSESSIONID cookie like this in all cases:
Cookie cookie = new Cookie("JSESSIONID", sessionId);
if(request.isSecure())
cookie.setSecure(true);
(Note that the code might not look exactly like this, but it behaves in
this way).
So, if your session was created during a non-secure request, you'll get
a non-secure cookie. The solution? Make all your requests HTTPS. If you
have non-secure pages, you'll need to make sure they don't call
request.getSession(true) either explicitly or implicitly (say, by
forgetting to set session="false" for a JSP).
