I guess in this case you will be setting variables on Servlet Context, which is
shared by all sessions. Thus several users accessing this functionality will be
overwriting each other's values (concurrency problem). The better solution is
to use
inside of JetSpeed application:
PortletSession portletSession = (PortletSession)session;
portletSession.setAttribute("a", "a", PortletSession.APPLICATION_SCOPE);
outside of JetSpeed:
session.getAttribute ("a");
For this to work you also need to enable crossContext feature in the Context
configuration for jetspeed applications.
Probably in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/jetspeed.xml
<Context path="/ifs" docBase="ifs" crossContext="true">
Hope this helps.

If someone else is looking to do this:
Since you are opening a new session you need to go one level back and get
the servlet context itself before setting any attributes.
This can be done using:
request.getSession().getServletContext().setAttribute("a",a);
...
request.getSession().getServletContext().getAttribute("a"); //external
webapp in a new window
