Friend in question is certainly not a young junior dev - >10 years of dev experience, 8 in java, and does java training. Trainers may be more focused on language stuff vs admin stuff, so I cut some slack there. But.. the majority of java people I've known have been developers only, who don't do any server admin. Again, not saying java devs who know sys/server admin don't exist, but, the ones I know who do that aren't 'java devs' in the sense of only doing java, but tend to be polyglots with experience from multiple backgrounds.
I'm not sure why you'd not have a shared storage for session data in a multi-server system. What else do you suggest?
http://ehcache.org/documentation/configuration/configuration - that's an insane amount of configuration it looks like compared to something like PHP. It also looks like you're tying yourself to a specific caching solution vs having generalized session data.
