title: How much session data is too much?
body: <p>We are running into unusually high memory usage issues. And I observed that many places in our code we are pulling 100s of records from DB, packing it in custom data objects, adding it to an arraylist and storing in session. I wish to know what is the recommended upper limit storing data in session. Just a good practice bad practice kind of thing.</p>
  
  <p>I am using JRockit 1.5 and 1.6GB of RAM. I did profiling with Jprobe and found that some parts of app have very heavy memory footprint. Most of this data is being into session to be used later.</p>
