We tried to let eclipselink manage more than 2,000 tables in a java se enviroment with static weaving and lazy loading enabled, database session behaviour (1 application session = 1 db session) and some descriptorcustomizer.
as expected
- fetching a huge set of rows (30,000) in a collection of managed entity object case some memory consumption (200 MB) [tried with only one table/managed entity object and fetching 30,000 rows]
- managing 2,500 entity objects cause a control overhead in eclipselink 300 MB [tried with 2,500 table/managed entity objects and fetching 1 row]

but as not expected: both items are influence each other: 2,500 table/managed entity objects and fetching 10,000 rows eclipselink uses 900 MB - why?

with regards
Sven

I am not sure I understand what is expected, is 900MB higher or lower than you expect? If 10k of one particular object takes up (200MB/3) 67MB, I would expect that 10k of each of the 2500 different object types would take upto 167GB (1/3 of 200 times 2500).

This is probably more than your JVM memory can handle, and so garbage collection would run and clean up any references not being used, depending on the cache settings. The default caching strategy uses hard references for a fixed size cache, and then soft references for the identity map. These soft references would allow the objects to be garbage collected as needed by the JVM. So 900MB could be reasonable depending on how the test is being run and the configuration options being used.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Introduction_to_Cache_%28ELUG%29
describes caching in EclipseLink in general, and
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/Caching
with how it relates to JPA.

Best Regards,
Chris
