Roll your own Session object. HttpSession is just an interface. Write a
class that implements the interface. Use your session object in all your
servlets. The only thing left to do is to handle session tracking by
relating a session id to each user. Servers generally do this using
cookies or URL rewriting, but you could even use hidden fields.
