That is not true.
1. request/response object can be kept if you want (but I can't see
why you would want)
2. once a handle to a session has been obtained it is quite legal to
manipulate it outside of a request
3. the servlet context is specifically available for things olike sub
threads to use

You may have to... some requirements force you to use a thread.
Just because you haven't come up against the problems don't dismisss
the solutions.
