Description

There was a change to the attribute field in tomcat (and we made the necessary changes in geode session modules), but that does not allow our session modules to work with older versions of tomcat 7. We can probably modify the classes to allow use with of the session module jars across different versions of tomcat 7.

We should probably add tests that run against older versions of geode to allow backwards compatibility between a geode server and a session module jar from a previous release.
