How many records can be returned from EJB container?

Hello,

I have a very quick question, if I have not placed it in the correct topic, please feel free to move it.

I have a session bean that exists inside of JBoss that performs a database lookup and returns the result set, in the form of a Vector of data value objects, to a client outside of the JBoss. Serialized, each of the data value objects is about 20K in size.

My question is this: how many of these objects can I safely return, over RMI, before JBoss is going to start complaining? I know from past experience that there is a limit to the number of objects that can be returned from an EJB container, I am just wondering if anyone knows what it is for JBoss - i.e., can I return 5, 50, or 5000 of these objects in a Vector before I start to have timeout and other problems in the part of JBoss?

Thanks in advanced,
Chris
