The reason you should use getAttribute() / setAttribute() on a session in Tomcat,
which is based on the 2.2 servlet API, was to make session attributes consistent
with servlet context attributes and request attributes. (The getValue/putValue
calls actually still work, but they've been deprecated to encourage you to switch
to the new usage.) It is not an issue of which servlet engine you are running;
what matters is which version of the servlet API that engine supports.
The getAttribute() / setAttribute() calls work on a ServletContext in all servlet
engines based on the 2.1 or later API (JSWDK is based on the 2.1 API) -- these
methods didn't exist in the 2.0 API.
