Hi Anne!

The issues you are referring to concern mainly server side, client side or both?

Thanks for any comments,
Luís

A lot of the performance differences come from the parsing technology used.
GLUE uses Electric XML, which is a highly optimized JDOM-like parser. WASP
uses a pull parser.

10-15x faster than Axis!!??? I will have to check that!
What are your toughts regarding these performance issues?

You'll find Axis performance much faster than Sun's JAX-RPC RI. It also
provides much easier tools. But the commercial implementations are much
faster and easier still. There are free versions available for

both GLUE and

WASP. GLUE Standard is always free. The footprint is tiny, too. See
http://www.themindelectric.com. WASP is always free for

development, and you

can get a free deployment license for a single CPU (multi-CPUs require
payment). See http://www.systinet.com. These two implementations

offer the

best performance (10-15x faster than Axis) and the best tools.

Subject: Axis performance in compare with XRPC (reference implementation

Hi SOAP Folks,

Anyone has compared the performance of these two implementations
(Apache's Axis and Sun's XRPC) in a real environment?!

FYI, I'm in the phase of replacing the communication layer (which is
reference implementation of SUN) of the application, I'm working on,
with Axis. Sun's implementation generates so many classes and uses many
libraries so causes the whole result (application jars, ear's, war's,
etc) to be very huge. Another side effect is the build time of the
project, which is really much!

I need all your ideas/suggestions/comments in this regard.
What problems may I get into with Axis? How's the performance in compare
with other implementations? Is there any better alternative than Axis
(free for sure!) And so on...

Best Regards,
Armond
