Serialized object size

[McBugzz]

I'm calling a remote method (ejb) and as an argument I pass a Serializable Object. The object is a model which has references to other objects (and so forth). Is there a way to measure the exact size of the marshalled data that's going to be actually sent over the net?

If yes, please give a hint how.

write it to disk, read it, and count the characters.

Or just write it to a ByteArrayOutputStream, and then use then do :

byte[] data = baos.toByteArray();
int iSize = data.length;

That simple? I mean, there's the MarshalledObject class that seems to do the job and can tell the objBytes.lenght, but I though that maybe there's some king of a profiler that track that...
