That's an interesting question... looking at the code I wrote in Java Web Parts for the getSessionSize() method, I'm only taking into consideration the fields of the objects in session. I think this is OK because IIRC, when an object is serialized, only the non-transient values are considered. The methods don't factor into it because you aren't serializing the class definition, just the state of the object. If anyone knows differently I'd like to hear about it, but I believe how that method works yields an accurate result.

If you want to see how I've done it, check out:

http://javawebparts.sourceforge.net

If you look at the javadocs, in the session package, there is a class called SessionSize that is used to get the size of a session object. You can grab the code and see how it's done, or just use it if that's your ultimate goal :)

When calculating the size of a session bean to determine memory usage, what should be included and how is this done? Do the number of methods matter? The size of the code? Just the variables? I've read much about limiting the size of the session information but not how to do it. I have some fairly large classes in session context but they don't store very much.

Thanks.
