Spring login error when trying to enforce 1 session only

I am quite new to Spring Security (despite my username!) but am trying to understand what the problem is with our login.

We are using Spring security 2.5 and have a Flex Application that talks to the mySQL database via Java and Toplink. Our basic login page authenticates to a main page. We want to enforce only 1 session per user and we enforce that with this line in the applicationSecurity.xml.

<concurrent-session-control max-sessions="1"
expired-url="/login_page.html"/>

Everything is working fine for the most part - we have a 1 scenario where we are unable to login successfully and get a nasty null error.

Since we want to enforce only 1 session - if I am logged in in 1 browser and then open a new browser and try to go to the main page, it should terminate the 1st session and create a new session. Accessing the main page in the new browser should boot us back to the login page. This is happening - however, when I try to log in from the new browser login page, I always get a null error. It seems like perhaps the old sessionId is not being released or something. I am having trouble figuring out what exactly is happening.

Here is the debug output from the log when we try to go straight to the main page from a new browser right where we get booted back to the login page - Notice the the reference to SessionId: 3DD2A69652966B47EF55797516040C05

OK, this is going to take forever with the message text limit...here are some relevant lines:

Notice the Session Id...

Now when I am booted back to the login page, I see this in the url:

http://localhost:8080/myapp/login_pa...797 516040C05


So, shouldn't that session be destroyed now? But when I go to log back in, I get a login error and here is the output of the debug trace - notice that the same session id appears:

and then just a few lines later, I can see the session being invalidated (but shouldn't have this already happened?)

Can anybody tell me what exactly is happening? Could this be an issue with Tomcat holding on to the old session value? I should be able to just log back in since that session should be destroyed.
