Hello there, Kwow using the Runtime class I could get the total amount of memory and the used memory of the JVM. But is there any way to find out how many bytes does a specific object take in the memory. Thanks in Advance Jack

I'm not sure how to do that. Why in the world would you want to know such a thing? Surely there is something that you are trying to ACCOMPLISH with this question.

Hi Cindy, Know this sounds like an out of the way task to be doing, but was just messing around with one of my project just to see how much memory my application was taking, then I got about wondering how much each of my objects may be occupying, hence the question. Though not critical would be nice to figure out if this CAN be done. Thanks anyway cindy Jack

How about taking a before and after shot of the used memory?

AM NOT SURE.BUT U CAN USE DECODE OF WRAPPER CLASSES ALSO READBYTE in of higher stream in case of file.

c'd be naive, but why not try serializing the object into a file and see how much space it occupies :-) w'd give you some idea? karthik.

Hi there, Thanks for your suggestion. Basically I took a shot before and after the creation of the object and also tried serializing the object, both showed me approx the same some bytes up and down. Bye Jack

here u are.use freememory() and totalmemory() methos of runtime.
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
