session

We have decided to take the plunge and move from using a typical java session provider in Tomcat/Jetty/etc to persisting everything to a central datastore.

We are looking at using MongoDB for this. A few options come to mind...

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Tutorial/MongoDB_Session_Clustering

This is nice because it will "auto-magically" persist our session to a Mongo installation. I am concerned however that we will not have fine grained control of what is happening.

GuiceMongo is interesting as it integrates with Guice. Perhaps we could persist everything via this ORM.

Has anybody had to deal with this kind of move? It seems that moving from in memory to persistent session storage has a lot of gotchas.
