Performance issues?

[Jani Väisänen <ja...@syncrontech.com>]

Hi,

Has anyone seen any comparison documents between different web services 
toolkits? I have been training the use of AXIS for few weeks now and I 
have liked it. But today I heard that I should stay away from AXIS 
because it has some performance issues. The person who told that, didn't 
want to explain those issues.

I would like to find comparisons between toolkits and some performance 
statistics.
So if anyone could help me, it would be really nice.

:-) Frustrating.

I would like to say that in the area of SOAP attachments the
DataHandler class's use of memory is very good compared to
specifying the return type as a byte[].

To send a 1MB document tomcat grows from ~22MB at startup to
~34MB after one call. And after repeated calls it settles at
about 40MB.

To send a 5MB document tomcat grows by roughly the same amount.

Where as with a standard byte[] return type a 5MB document was
blowing tomcat upto 125MB.

So thanks for all the good work!
Stuart.

of course they don't want to explain the issues. ALMOST EVERYTIME i ask someone even on this
mailing list to come up with sample/test case to show the problem so that we could fix it, there
is ABSOLUTE silence from those people after that. AND EVERYTIME someone shows HOW WONDERFUL their
soap stack is as compared with, invariable the comparison is with Axis 1.0 or some such ancient
version. (See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=axis-user&m=105890139828409&w=2) for example.

Bottom line, If anyone has a performace problem, log a bug report with sufficient information and
we will try to address it ASAP.
