  1. How to calculate exactly how much is big the Session object ? (3 messages)

    Hi all,
    I'd like to know if it's possible to calculate the size of the Session object in a web application so that I can forecast how much memory my application will need for example if users will increase by a certain %
    Thanks in advance
    Francesco

    I donno you exact requirement But I guess you can use a session listener which keeps track of objects that are added to the session object. All you have to have is a counter kind of stuff that can be updated when ever an objcet is binded.

    If you are able to calculate the size (m/y footprint) of each java object (is it possible !!!) then you problem is solved by using a session listener.

    Or simply use getAttributeNames() method in the session interface & iterate thru each of the object binded.

    There is an OpenSource utility available called MessAdmin. You can make use of this tool to get the information of your session. http://messadmin.sourceforge.net/ Hope this helps. Kevin.
