Yep, session tracking is the way to go.
I use a similar logic to persist my DB connections on a per client basis. I
also noticied that this object in theory could be pickedup by any servlet (not
just the one that created it), which is kinda cool (espicially with DB
connections).
Let me know, I will be more than happy to share snippet's of code to do this.
