I may just write my own for now. Even if one vendor decides to support
distributed state management, not all will, and we're trying to be
vendor-neutral with our JSP code.
Thanks,

The JSP + Servlet API is just a set of interface, so potentially any
vendor can
implement them in any manner they feel like. AFAIK all of them implement
session information on a single server basis at the moment (anyone know
about
WebSphere or any of the bigger ones?) - i.e. in memory.
Some of them are open source, others you can get the source when you
license,
so you could probably modify it if you wished - but then you aren't in
that
business I suspect and you'd want a packaged solution...
