Hello.
Suppose, i created session object at www.foo.com (or http://localhost:8080).
Could anyone explain me how to get this session object from different host my.foo.com (or http://localhost:8081).
So if session object lives in memory on the servlet container it must be some ways to keep session in multihost environment.

It depends on your appserver - you'll have to RTFM.
Sessions are based on host URLs, so a true "multi host" session object sharing isn't appropriate. A clustered host, on the other hand, really SHOULD be capable of shared sessions if it intends to fully support having any server in the cluster able to service requests.

The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.

You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
