Hi Olivier, Session size is important in a clustered environment. 4kb is the size recommended by iPlanet as well, so it sounds like a good rule of thumb.
To keep session size down in Struts add a scope=request entry to your form bean declaration in your struts-config.

IBM suggests a size of 4kb. Struts seems to put form beans into the HTTP session, and one often needs more than one form bean for a webapp. After browsing the Struts docs, it seems that there is no mechanism to automatically or manually clean the session once a form bean isn't needed anymore. Does someone have any feedback on the subject ? Is session size so important, or may I simply ignore it (although it doesn't like a good idea) ? Does Struts include (or is it planned to include) some feature to clean the session's content easily ? olivier -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
