Just keep in mind that the session object is shared by all
servlets running within the same service. So if you have a user
that is accessing two or servlets in the same web service they
only have one session object. This is a great way for sharing
Persistent objects (e.g. a client profile, DB Connection, etc.)
where that is desirable. You need to decide in your case whether
you want to invalidate the session object or to do a
removeValue() on a servlet-specific key value.
Hope this helps.
