Hi, In CQ/Sling we use HttpSession objects created by the servlet container used. In your case this would be the weblogic server.
The problem with the objects in the session is that the same classes (class objects) must be used in the OSGi framework as well as in the other parts of the EAR. So the classes must be loaded from a shared class loader. To do this in the OSGi framework you will want to use a feature call system package exports. The easiest way to get this done is creating a framework extension fragment which attaches to the system bundle and enhances the exports of that system bundle. Refer to [1] for how this could be done.
