There should be a way to count the bytes in a Java object without trying to output it, I mean, the object is in memory as bytes, so there must be a way to count them. <br>Outputting the file somewhere may enable to know the EXACT size of the outputted file, but the object's size in memory should be accessible another way.

Print it to a stream that only counts but otherwise discards ? It's easy<br>to write such a stream... just subclass outputstream.write(byte) and<br>maybe .write(byte[],start,len) and count...<br><br>I don't think there's a way without outputting.
