You have not understood what I said: "GNUJSP just uses the session management provided by the container. Since JServ supports the session API you can easily share sessions between the 2." GNUJSP just calls HttpServletRequest.getSession(). It does *not* have it's own session implementation (why would it?). As long as the GNUJSP servlet is loaded into the same ServletContext as the other servlets there will be no problem with sharing sessions.
