I wonder if the real problem is a race condition: the cluster can't
replicate fast enough to stabilize before the second request comes in,
plus the lb configuration might not be correct.

João, can you confirm that request #1 and #2 are definitely hitting
the same Tomcat instance?

If you connect to TomcatA, set a session attribute, then reconnect to
TomcatA and get that session attribute, then it should be the same
unless something is awfully wrong. You don't even need to have
clustering enabled to test the above.

However if you hit TomcatA, set a session attribute, then connect to
TomcatB and try to get that session attribute, your request may have
arrived too early for the cluster to have pushed-out the session
attribute change.

So, if you can prove that both requests have gone to TomcatA and you
are getting "errors", then there are several possibilities:

1. Tomcat has a huge bug and no web applications would work worldwide.
2. You are mishandling the "setting" of the session attribute
3. You are wrong about which server the client is hitting
