Interesting idea and if it was my own code i'd certainly consider this. Although if it 
was my own code I don't think i'd let the sessions get so big in the first place. 
Unfortunately its now our code so we're stuck with what has been supplied.

You could write some native code and use the apache apr package or 
something similar to create shared memory or memory mapped files.  Then 
use the object you wrap around this code and store it in your session.

This way you can have as much memory as you want stored in these 
objects.  Pull the memory from the mapped file only as you use it to 
keep from expanding it all back into the jvm process memory at one time. 
  The speed difference will probably not be noticeable if you have a 
good search algorithm setup.

That or you could tie your session information to a database and do the 
same thing you would do with the mapped memory.  The session would 
simply hold the id for the db session table.  Though this may be a bit 
slower.

Don't know if that would be possible for you or not.
