There is no container-mandated limit in Tomcat (or, I suspect, in any other servlet
container).  After all, in most of them the set of sessions is just a Hashtable or
something like that, which has no arbirtary limit at all.

The real issues to consider are:  how much memory do each of your concurrently
active sessions take, how much memory do you have in your server (if the answer
here is "not enough" then get more -- memory is INCREDIBLY cheaper than software
developers!!!!!), and how much processing overhead do each of your sessions require
versus how much CPU time etc. you have available.  None of these issues are at all
specific to which servlet container you are using.

You probably didn't get an answer because there is no such thing as a hard and fast
number that answers a question like this.
