The servlet specification mandates that sessions be persisted across server restarts. This is done so that if a user is doing something and the server crashes, the server can come back up with the user's session data intact. When the JVM is gone, all its objects ARE gone -- from memory. Session data by default is more like preferences that are persisted. This is of course tunable: you control the session timeout (in web.xml), as well as tomcat-specific session persistence settings. Read the Manager (component, not webapp) configuration reference for details.
