Oh, duh.  I didn't see that he wanted to avoid the session.

What is up with that BTW? There seem to be quite a few posts lately from people wanting to do stuff and avoid the http session (or its struts2 wrapper).

What's wrong with the session?

There's nothing wrong with it in most -existing- webapps because it's the most productive means to record state, but it's always been a problem for clustered apps, has always been evil according to REST purists and is becoming less popular as web developers move to SOAUI/SOFEA architectures.
David Van Couvering's blog provides a good example:
