Only problem is, that this is the size of the object with a new object, rather then being something that could be done dynamically. Not to mention that if this is done at run time ( which is what the original poster wants I believe) then you can be completely screwed by a GC run, and end up with a negative number.

Whatsoever data i read, i fill into an object. I need to know *the size of LDIFData object* at runtime. How to do that? Well the class structure is something like this public class LDIFData{ ArrayList cards; // collection of Card String filename; long lastLoadedTime; } public class Card{ String name; String email String mobile; } -- regards Navjot Singh When you jump for joy, beware that no-one moves the ground from beneath your feet. -- Stanislaw Lem, "Unkempt Thoughts" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
