What is the maximum available sessions for a given servlet engine? If we are running a very popular website like Yahoo, how many people can access at the same time? What would be the limitation?

I dont think there is any limitations for the sessions. It depends on the server engine how it is going to handle the memory handling. But i dont think there is any limitation to no. of users in yahoo also..
If i am wrong correct me.

Tomcat has a maxActiveSessions setting it the server.xml configuration file, along with a lot of other settings related to session behavior. JRun does too.
Some servlet engines will serialize sessions out to the hard drive to reduce the memory usage. I imagine that if you had big data storage in sessions and long session lifetime, a lot of users could really chew up memory.
