but I get the impression that Java objects are "serialized" to stream
files, and typically larger - a developer may dump an SQL result set
to a "collection" and store it in a "session", for example.

Not necessarily to stream _files_, but yes, serialized to some type of
storage. Many times I've seen developers get a result set (orders for a
customer) and then put that result set in session so they don't have to
get it later. I'm not saying it's good practice, in fact it sucks, but I
see it a lot. Problem is, it worked fine on the developers 8GM quad-core
desktop where they were the only user. :-)
