depending on the load balancer, you'll have to configure it for 
session affinity. i am not sure as far as a session sharing.. you 
almost have to use jboss or some other enterprise solution such as atg 
dynamo which has a sessionbackup manager that maintains sessions 
between the java app servers in its pool and provides session failover 
etc.

hope that helps
