Do you really have to use sessions ? Otherwise it might be simpler with 
request attributes, such as :

request.setAttribute("myAttributeName", myAttributeObject)

You could also copy object between sessions located in different contexts 
using this method, but you would have to do the code for the copying 
yourself, and the object types would have to be limited to instance of 
classes which are available in both class loaders (such as java.lang.String 
for example).
