The best results I achieved using the YourkitJava Profiler <http://www.yourkit.com/>. Basically working like this: - start the servlet-container - prepare the use case - activate memory profiling - take the before memory snapshot - execute the use-case - take the after memory snapshot - deactivate memory profiling
This gives me: - info about what was created by the use-case I am interested in (including leaks) - an easy to handle interface to drill down into objects and their shallow and retained sizes And till some days ago: all at a really low price...

(Who loves that alliteration?) I would like to build a simple profiler that can tell me the size of my session at any given point in the application. Does anyone have any suggestions? My initial thought was just to serialize the session map into a byte array and report on its size. Are there any products out there that do this? Is there a better strategy? Right now, I don't care THAT much about the size of the objects within the session, but just the session itself. However, I might want to delve deeper eventually.
