> Key: AXIS2-2574
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2574
> Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.1.1
> Environment: SUN JRE 5.0 Update 11, Apache Tomcat 5.5.23, Windows XP Professional
> Reporter: Dirk Niededir
> Assigned To: Thilina Gunarathne
>
> I have implemented a small AXIOM based Service using the AXIS2 1.1.1 WAR-file.
> I am using the DataHandler to receive big Byte-Arrays (base64binary). Using MTOM, AXIS2 is converting them to attachments. This works fine using small Byte-Arrays. To avoid a OutOfMemoryError, I enabled the file based cache using the parameters cacheAttachments=true, attachmentDIR=cachedir and sizeThreshold=30000 in the axis2.conf. This still works fine but very slow, if the size is greater than sizeThreshold. I know File access should be slower than using RAM. But this works much slower than it should and the CPU is at maximum.
> Using the Windows-Tool "Process Monitor" ( http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/processmonitor.mspx ), I saw that the axis*.att files are written in blocks with size=1. This might be a hint.
> For this I have written a small test, which writes a 50MB file to disk either buffered or unbuffered:
> --------------------------
> File file = new File( "C:/java/temp/test.txt");
> if( file.exists())
> file.delete();
> file.createNewFile();
> long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
>
> OutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream( file);
> boolean buffered = true;
> if( buffered)
> fos = new BufferedOutputStream( fos);
>
> int count = 0;
> while( count < 50*1000000) {
> count++;
> fos.write( 'a');
> }
> fos.close();
>
> long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
>
> System.out.println("time = "+(endTime-startTime)+"ms");
> --------------------------
> if the buffered-flag is false, then time = 203360ms and CPU ~ 90%
> if the buffered-flag is true, then time = 2763ms and CPU ~ 30%
> The buffered version is 73.6 times faster with a much lower CPU utilization!
> This confirms to the hint. So decoration of the FileOutputStream for the axis*.att-Files with a BufferedOutputStream will fix this "bug".
> Maybe it is a Windows-Problem, but the decoration will not be a disadvantage for other systems.
