HttpSessionBindingListener was introduced with Servlet 2.3. Tomcat 3.3 is based on Servlet 2.2. The servlet.jar you added into your classpath must be for 2.3. I don't think you can be sure of any behavior with this configuration. If you want to use HttpSessionBindingListener you should upgrade to Tomcat 4.x
