A good approach is to have one session per request (as you said,
servlet filters are good to create and close a session for the request
scope).
Creating a session is a quick thing in Jackrabbit (with a local
repository), so it is no problem to create them at different places.
But if you read the properties of many nodes again and again, it is
more efficient to keep the same session and remember the node objects.
BTW, you can often use the Node object like a DAO, so no need to wrap
them once again in most cases.
