If you mean 'java.util.Hashtable', that's a rather obsolete class. You should stick with 'java.util.HashMap'.

Joshua Bloch recommends to prefer composition over inheritance.

If "rates" is set to an instance of a 'HashTable', or whatever, is 'data' then a 'Map<String,Map<?,?>>'?

How about you follow the advice here:
http://sscce.org/
and then maybe we can help you. It would make it easier for you to answer the questions I'm asking.

I think perhaps you're overthinking the session vars. Why can't your 'rates' Map go in there directly?

Your example code is fragmented and incomplete. Give us something we can work with, please.
