Abstract
A system and method are described in which session objects are organized and managed within a structured hierarchy of session object storage units, referred to herein as “session domains.” The session domains store session objects sharing one or more related characteristics. In one embodiment, a separate hierarchy of session domains is implemented within each layer of an enterprise application server. For example, in a Java 2 Enterprise Edition (“J2EE”) environment, a separate set of hierarchically-arranged session domains are generated for the EJB container, the Web container and the portal container. In one embodiment, a representation of the hierarchy of session domains and data associated with the session objects is generated and managed within a shared memory. The session data is accessible from the shared memory by a plurality of different worker nodes within an application server.
