Почему SessionMap не создается?

При первой регистрации участника необходимо установить сеанс, что обычно происходит при входе в систему, поэтому я решил повторно использовать LoginAction без маршрутизации к нему. Но экземпляр sessionmap не создается.

member logging in is: model.hibernate.Member@549c8a8c
session map not instantiated
