Sticky sessions means exactly that. Stick the session to a particular tomcat. If you shut down that tomcat, it should fail over to the other tomcat(s) if you have properly set up your cluster.
If you use synchronous replication you don't need sticky sessions as all tomcats should have the session updates before the response is sent.
