The difference you refer to with regards to HttpSession is a difference
between versions of the Servlet API. In 2.1 only put/getValue were
defined, but in 2.2 set/getAttribute were added to be consistent with the
method names used for attribute methods in all other classes. You can still
use put/getValue in Tomcat (since it implements 2.2) if you want your code
to be backwards compatible with the 2.1 API (implemented by JSWDK 1.0.1).
So back to the original question, all servlet containers that implement the
same version of the Servlet API are compliant (unless they are buggy ;-).
The set/getAttribute methods where added to ServletContext in 2.1 (I believe)
so you should be able to use them in any 2.1 or 2.2 compliant container.
