SessionData provides a solution to keep objects in the session, but a few 
problems (to my eyes) remain :

1 ) Session data is shared across the whole application and no mechanism is 
provided to clear in one instruction a set of data related to a common 
business act while keeping the other data in session. In some other 
frameworks, session data is on a per business act basis. The same 
functionality can be implemented with SessionTool, but it's up to the 
developer to code it. Session data contains the state of the user session and 
this state may be complex. What are the best practices as regards this point 
?

2 ) In some cases, a load balancing on a per request basis may be required, 
and SessionData is then a (small) problem. The solution is either to save 
SessionData in a database table or to implement a serializable interface and 
to serialize through tomcat-replication.jar for instance.
