Preliminary work has started on distributed sessions for Tomcat 4, but it
isn't likely to be ready for production use for quite a while. Setting your
own cookie to ID the user and then using an EJB is probably the quickest
way to get this working if your load balancer can't be relied on to keep
the user on a single server.
