Attributes in servlet contexts are not automatically persisted. If you want to persist them you will need to do it yourself.
I don’t think persistence of servlet context attributes would be a good idea. There is a non-zero chance that the servlet container will terminate abruptly without giving your webapp a chance to persist its attributes. Your webapp would need to deal with this possibility on restart.
