I take it from lack of response to my previous post that there is no
current consideration opf p2ee a base for a ne LSMB?

Anyway, regarding sessions, they are a beast created by using HTTP as
a transport protocol instead of what it was designed for: a transfer
protocol. In the p2ee framework we don't have a need for sessions are
everything is a resource that is self represented, in other words we
are purely REST. There are 3 types of resources: Application, Business
Element Resources (BER), and Business Process Resources. And, most
importantly, it's not just a wanna be concept, I have real working
apps, although they are alpha and none in production yet. Please let
me know if you want to explore this further.

Best,
