How to implement session handling in Java to be servlet container independent?

AFAIK: Session handling is done by the servlet Container (e.g. Tomcat, Glassfish...), i would prefer a solution which is servlet container independent, like php does it, implement some handler or filter and let the application deal with it. I have not found any sort of Information regarding self build session handling in Java.

The session handling is defined by the Servlet (JavaEE) specification if I'm not mistaken. If you want to hook into it's lifecyle you can do that with a HttpSessionListener

It seems that you can register your own session manager in Tomcat. Maybe that is what you are looking for: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/manager.html

But I fail to see why you want to replace a working, tested and solid implementation with your own code.
