No, no session is created.

You're not asking a Tomcat question here, but rather one that concerns
the servlet spec.  Such questions and comments should really be directed
to the appropriate JSR working group.

Requests have relatively short lifetimes, while sessions and contexts
typically exist orders of magnitude longer.  Since there's a trivial
solution to your problem, I don't think it's a big deal.
