You should put into the Context... which AFAIK is shared among different web applications... but this is not ZK related ;)

@Steva77: a Context is defined per web-application, so it doesn't help if you want to communicate between different web-applications in a servlet container. Turn it the other way round: if a servlet container wouldn't shield one servlet context against another, I would call it a security problem...;-)

@Softteam: Can you describe your use-case? Sharing a common object between different web-applications sounds a little bit scary to me... although it's possible, but the problem isn't related to ZK at all.

First read:

No real solution is mentioned by the ZK-Team, so you'll see that you're doing something really unorthodox... you can achieve your goal by using a shared classloader & a singleton (e.g. in Tomcat):

Hi Maik,
totally right: I confused with sharing information between sessions... I am getting old.
Your references are good indeed, thanks for sharing!
