Is this all on the same server, or are you setting the attribute in
one context and watching for it's value to be available in a different
(replicated) one?
Just trying to understand the test case, here.

Remember that it's not magic replication: Tomcat doesn't know when you
modify the object itself. I suspect that if you modify the object
itself (say, by adding elements to the cache) you'll have to do this:
context.setAttribute("userCache", userCache);
...in order to trigger a re-replication across the cluster.
You might want to consider using something like memcached or even a
traditional database to share this kind of information: IMO they are
much better equipped to do the kinds of things you want to do (and
they are separated from the servlet API, which can either be a good
thing or a bad thing for you).
