WS Performance

[Daniela Claro]

Hi all,
I am using Axis to develop Web services, but until right now I was using
all WS locally. It took about 22milleseconds to execute. Very fast. However
I put them in a LAN, within two machines, and the same Web service took
about 4000 miliseconds to execute. I was astonished! What am I doing wrong?

I put in annexe my Test class in java so you can see what I am actually
doing to run all of them. All four Web services has only one method that
returns OK as a String when it is executed, nothing more than this.

Thus I would like to know what shall I do to make my WS more faster. I am
using axis 1.3.

Thank you so much,
Daniela
