But, in general, I'm not sure what the memory issue would be beyond the view storage. I'm anti-session for most things anyway, besides carrying around some standard user info. I'm planning to rely on smart coding, tuning hibernate settings (which, obvisouly, requires the use of hibernate) and, possibly, turning on the hibernate cache for certain parts of the data.
However, I do understand your concern. I'm sort of in the same boat. I'm implementing an app and I'm not sure how many people will be logging into it. I don't know what the performance will really be like. I still think there is some technical understanding of the JSF view that I've ignored until now that would probably help. If anybody happens to have a good page to point to that discusses the view, please forward that along.
What kind of box will this be running on? I assume if this is a production app that you might have a few hundred megs of memory available for the application to play in? Making that assumption, you've got about a meg per user. Right? While compared to some other technologies, a meg per user is a lot, but at the same time, hardware is cheap compared to developer time. Again, the big question mark in my mind is the view storage. If it were stored on the client, in theory you wouldn't need much session space besides authentication, if any. Right?

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm developing an application which
potentially could have 200/300 users concurrently logged on and this is
a worry for me too. I'm trying to code the application as carefully as I
possibly can with the fact that "LOTS of users will be logged on at the
same time", always in the back of my mind. Like with any web framework,
you need to code the application in best possible practices and as
efficiently as possible (avoid using session beans as much as you
possibly can. etc.)
My concerns are memory usage more than anything. But this is a concern
not with JSF but with developing my site with Tomcat and J2EE in
general. As for performance, to be honest with you, I feel like I'm
sailing into unchartered waters, because I really don't know! I can't
help looking at PHP/Apache and thinking how efficient and proven it is
under heavy load (And that wasn't a call for a start on a PHP/Java debate).

Eurig
