The problem with any cache system is cache coherency. Tomcat takes the
easy way out by requiring that sessions be "sticky" to a single box, and
using local access management. Sticky session have well known scalability
issues.
The "right" answer, for an arbitrary definition of "right," is a little
more complicated.
A UDP based server to reduce the TCP/IP overhead.
The protocol should be something like this: (pseudo code)
class Session
{
UUID session;
}
Object lockSession(uuid session)
Object lockSession(Object session)
void unlockSession(Object session)
void abandonSession(uuid session)
Object peekSession(uuid session)
Object peekSession(Object session)
