What does the library use to represent state? Is it some kind of ID,
pointer, struct, or what?
Whatever it is, you should create a composite object (a new class) that
holds two things:
1) the session object from Tomcat.
2) the ID or whatever from the library.
Then pass in either that object, or just the ID, when you call the native
functions.
Or create a Map with session objects as keys and native-ID objects as
values. Key with session, get native-ID, pass to native code.
In a sense, your idea of keying off the current thread is already doing
that, except you're proposing to use the thread as an implied key, not the
session object as an overt key.
The basic problem is mapping. Given an A, what is its unique corresponding B.
