Say I don't want to use cookies or URL rewriting or some other part of the extra baggage that Sun wrapped up in HttpSessions, but I want to make use the existing objects without having to roll up my own objects. I want to do something like this:

			

			

			public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet
			

			{
			

			public void init()
			

			throws ServletException
			

			{
			

			//...
			

			SessionHandler[] sessionpool = SessionHandler.createSessionPool(NUM_SESSIONS);
			

			

			servletcontext.setAttribute("sessionpool", sessionpool);
			

			}
			

			

			public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
			

			throws ServletException, IOException
			

			{
			

			SessionHandler currentSession = SessionHandler.getSession();
			

			String id = getSessionIDMyWay(request);
			

			currentSession.setID(id);
			

			

			//...
			

			}
			

			}
