Sessions timeout, and are tracked with cookies. They can be stored in a number of different ways (configurable)
Associated servlets are typically grouped through inheritance -- e.g., though a common SitePage superclass. This isn't directly related to directories in any way. Shared variables are generally handled through module globals. You can use dictionaries or whatever to seperate applications. For instance, you could just have a module for each application, and import that in the respective servlets. You'll have introduced thread-safety issues, but that's no different than in CF or whatever.
