I am not sure how tomcat supports distributed environments, but as it is the
referance implementation, I believe it should do what the specs say about
it.

<from servlet spec 2.3PFD>
3.3.1 Context Attributes in a Distributed Container
Context attributes exist locally to the VM in which they were created and
placed. This
prevents the ServletContext from being used as a distributed shared memory
store. If
information needs to be shared between servlets running in a distributed
environment, that
information should be placed into a session (See Chapter 8, "Sessions"), a
database or set in
an Enterprise JavaBean.
</from servlet spec 2.3PFD>
> what about sessions?
Please refer *section 7.7.2* of the servlet specs. It details all the
details of sessions in a distributed environment.
How much of the above is supported by Tomcat, I am not sure. I think you can
get more details about this on the tomcat mailing lists at
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html
