I think that in many cases estimating memory taken
maybe quite easy (when there are no circual references). Then it's ease to
write utility that would analyze object using reflection or to implement
interface that has size() method; If you know structure of the bean and there
are well known types (strings, primitives maybe dates/timestamps)
estimating size is as easy as writing hashCode :) Michal Malecki

need for cache
Thanks for the info Michal,
I suppose then
you'd have to double expected size of each string in your model then, to make
the estimate safer.
Too bad there isn't something along the lines of
System.sizeOf (Object obj).

Hello,
I think it's not quite so e.g. all characters
in the memory are 2 bytes and serialized there are in UTF-8
here is article about it:

You
could serialize the results it to disk. That would give you a
pessimistic estimation of the size it will be in memory. That is,
the cost of serialization will be higher than the amount of RAM used, so
you can feel relatively confident that it will be smaller in
memory.

What
is the best and most accurate way to calculate the space needed to
cache a query.
Say I have a query that returns 5 strings on
average of 20 chars each.
The query returns 5000 rows.
I
know this seems high but just humor me and remember I have access to
big servers here at Sun
