Access Cocoon User-Object from outside Cocoon?

Hi,

I am currently optimizing an application I have developed and am currently trying to create a Servlet, that bypasses Cocoons Pipeline-Stuff. The reason for this is that my application has an instant messenger component, that checks for new messages every 6 seconds. With 100 Users online, this creates about 70% of the server load. Since all this component does, is to check if there are new messages and if there are, to send 1 row of JavaScript back to the client, I would like to bypass Cocoon completely. Unfortunately I have to access the User Object stored in the session. Inside Cocoon this is absolutely no problem, but I am struggling to do this from outside Cocoon.

Has anyone done this before and could give me a hint at how to do this?
