> Performance Improvement in WSSConfig
> ------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: WSS-232
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-232
>             Project: WSS4J
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: WSS4J Core
>    Affects Versions: 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.3, 1.5.4, 1.5.5, 1.5.6, 1.5.7, 1.5.8, 1.5.9, 1.6
>         Environment: Jetty
>            Reporter: Mario Siegenthaler
>            Assignee: Colm O hEigeartaigh
>             Fix For: 1.6
>
>         Attachments: WSSConfig.java-158.patch, WSSConfig.java-trunk.patch
>
>   Original Estimate: 0.08h
>  Remaining Estimate: 0.08h
>
> When I profiled one of our webservices that uses SAML I noticed, that about half the CPU-time per call gets spent inside
> WSSConfig.getProcessor -> Loader.loadClass -> ClassLoader.loadClass
> The application server I was running on is Jetty 6 (might have some impact on the performance of classloading, since it's done with the Webapp-Classloader).
> When I reviewed the code I noticed that all the actions and processors inside WSSConfig are held in a Map with ID -> [either classname or instance). All the default processors/actions are as Strings (classnames). Most of the processors have to be instantated per invocation, so I couldn't switch from classnames to instances.
> I propose to add a third value-variant  to the maps: Classes. The included patch contains the changes to WSSConfig. The central parts are inside the static initialization (I added a helper method to shorten initializer) and in the #getProcessor and #getAction methods (a third if-instanceof-part). I retained the dynamic lookup of the opensaml classes.
> The patch brings a massive performance enhancement, at least in the jetty-environment (I didn't test other application server) due to not looking up the classes on every invocation. The CPU-time of the wss4j library went from ~50% down to 2%.
