To quote from 7.3 of the servlet spec (which you should read):

"HttpSession objects must be scoped at the application (or servlet context) 
level.  The underlying mechanism, such as the cookie used to establish the 
session, can be the same for different contexts, but the object referenced, 
including the attributes in that object, must never be shared between contexts 
by the container.

"To illustrate this requirement with an example: if a servlet uses the 
RequestDispatcher to call a servlet in another Web application, any sessions 
created for and visible to the servlet being called must be different from 
those visible to the calling servlet."

Whatever your heap size allows.
