Measuring marshalling and network times

[Luís Fraga <lf...@mobicomp.com>]

Hi there,

I sent this message to the user list but I didn't get the type of answer 
I needed, so I am trying this list instead.
I hope it is not out of this list scope...

I am using an axis client (1.1) to exchange XML documents (rpc-enc) with 
an oracle 9ias soap server.
The documents can reach up to 3Meg and very often the platform's 
performance is really slow.

Is there any way of measuring marshalling, unmarshalling and network 
times on Axis clients?
I tried to turn on Axis debug but it was too much verbose and I couldn't 
make sense out of it.
Are there any logging categories that I can turn on to monitor 
marshalling/unmarshalling and network tranfers?

By the way, how does the marshalling process work? Is marshalling done 
to a memory buffer and then sent to the http stream
or is marshalling done direclty to the http stream?

Thanks for any help,
   Luís
