Would anyone be interested in discussing their
experiences with SOAP performance and the types of
applications they are running?
I am working on a SOAP based reporting system. The
average results set is 200 rows with 20 columns from a
JDBC data source. The data source is very quick and
not much of a factor in my tests. For one user we get
pretty decent results on a single processor, 3GHz
Windows server, which is 1 to 2 seconds per response.
Things seems to scale fairly well until we get to 8
threads, when we get a response in about 8 seconds.
At that point our Web server is completely maxed out
and performance gets really slow. by threads, I mean
JMeter test clients threads that I am using to put a
load on the server.
I know that SOAP servers have to convert all of the
data to a SOAP response and send that result back to
the client. So is what I am seeing normal, or should
I be expecting better performance?
