How much memory does my ColdFusion variable really use? – Part III

by kai on 10/03/2010

Finally, nearly the last part (there's one more coming...). In part II I talked about the different problems we'd run into using the instrumentation code out-of-the-box without modifying it for the special scenario of using it to size ColdFusion variables. We declared those issues solved (sic!) :-) - so let's have a look at some code and how to use it. All I've done was to grab the example from…

Here we go - part II of an approach into sizing ColdFusion variables from within ColdFusion. In part I I introduced the problem we're trying to solve, a general solution (JVM instrumentation) and also pointed you to the JavaSpecialists newsletter #142 for a working solution (from a Java point of view). Heinz also commented in part I and pointed out that there is a full-blown open source project…

How much memory does my ColdFusion variable really use? - Part I

Recently I've been dealing quite a bit with ColdFusion from an infrastructure point of view - clustering, monitoring, system tuning etc. One particular thing I (and I know of at least some others) have found missing was an easy to use and realistic way of figuring out how much memory a particular ColdFusion variable really uses. There are a few approaches around that regularly pop up on mailing…
