Rather than monitor memory, which is subject to GC whims as George points out, I'd suggest monitoring the number of sessions in your application - find a number of sessions you can live with, keep a (suitably synchronized) counter that's incremented and decremented as sessions are created and destroyed, and don't start new sessions if that counter is higher than your threshold. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
