If you just want the size of a given session, take a look at Java Web Parts:
http://javawebparts.sourceforge.net Specifically, the SessionSize class: http://javawebparts.sourceforge.net/javadocs/javawebparts/session/SessionSize.html If your looking for the footprint of your entire application, I'm afraid I have no good answer for that.
