Setting cookie with sendRedirect

I'm having a weird error where I can't make a simple replication for it seems. I am logging in a user and setting their session via

useSession

useSession

then I am redirecting them back to where they came from using

sendRedirect

sendRedirect

. However that results in their session NOT being set. If I simply comment out the

sendRedirect

sendRedirect

everything works fine though.
