I had heard of it, but hadn't thought of using it in this context until you
mentioned it. I'm downloading the spec and kit now. My gut feeling is
that a system custom written for session sharing is going to be more
efficient than a general purpose solution, but we should be able to have
different pluggable implementations. JavaSpace might be useful for
knocking something up pretty quickly to get a feel for the basic concepts,
then a more efficient version could be hand-written based on those
learnings.
