Maintaining sessions Tomcat <-> Flash Remoting

Hi board,

Simple question. How do I maintain an authorization session between Tomcat(4.1.18) and Flash (MX 2004 Pro)?

I want the user to login thru the JSP/Servlet/Bean and then any further calls on the service should be auth automatically that is there should be a stateful bean.

Like you can store objects in the request scope. Can u do that with Flash and Tomcat?

Samples? Anyone?

Thanks

Cruiser.
