Hi,
I got a strange behaviour of my client to web service communication.
I've made just an "echo"-service running in application mode that
returns the string that it was called with (i.e public String echo (
String echoString ) { return echoString; }.
I call the method from the (fat) client using something like this:
String endpoint = "http://localhost:/axis/services/echo";;
Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );
call.setOperationName( "echo" ));
String ret = (String) call.invoke( new Object[] { "Hello!" } );
System.out.println("Sent 'Hello!', got '" + ret + "'");
When I use "localhost" (127.0.0.1 does also work fine) in the the endpoint
string everything is tremendously fast,
but when I use the IP adress of the machine
"http://192.168.0.2:/axis/services/echo"; the response
time about 7-9 seconds!
What could be the reason for this increase?
I am running Axis on Tomcat 5.5 in Fedora core 4 with firewall switched off.
Maybe Axis is recognising that
the request/response does not need to be sent on the network, or maybe Linux
does it.
Any clues or ideas are more than welcome.
Regards,
Magnus
