Yeah, that's what I'm ending up doing, although I do have scaling concerns. Not a huge deal, I'm just used to ATG's component structure where the session and request scopes are handled by application scoped managers, and key'ed by a UID. So you can get a session scoped component from the session manager if you have the session id and the component path. I'll work with the Map thing for now. Thanks!
