I don't really know how you could break that, it's internal to the operation of the login flow that redirects to your servlet. Either the Java session is being lost, or you're transferring control to something that doesn't share any state with the IdP. I don't know if sessions span webapp contexts or not, probably not. Maybe your servlet isn't in the IdP's webapp context.
