Too many Objects in Session Considered HarmFul ?

[Sridhar Kumanduri]

My apologies for the earlier half-finished and jumbled up mail ..   I have a question regarding how much Data can be in session ... Is there a limit generally or is it H/W and Servlet Container Dependent ... One of the form based application I am working on requires a lot of data to be put in session because it mimics the Model Windows concept .. For example , a screen might require a jump to another screen just to lookup some values and come back and continue processing .. In which case, I stores the current state of screen1 in session , then do the processing of screen2 (which might involve changing the data of screen1 in session) and get the state of screen1 back from session and continue processing..   If I have lots of users (about 500 to 1000) working on the system, am I in the danger of crashing the Server ??   Any thoughts would be appreciated ..   Thanks and Regards   Sridhar Kumanduri
