Hi Peter, Have you had a chance to check my demo gateway application at http://soapknox.servehttp.com:8080? It has some useful statistical analysis stuff with respect to service response times (under Web Services Performance and Web Services Scalability Analysis menus). I would appreciate any comments you might have on that. Any feedback would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.
SP I can't, but I would imagine it would offer much of the same elements of a distributed component (like a CORBA service) document. Which broadens the scope of examples. One suggestion - whether you are just writing a client, or just exposing a service - you should obtain detailed performance requirements. What number of concurrent calls should be supported (if any), and timing thresholds for calls (peak load maximum average call time). We obtain that by estimating the volume of calls (sometimes pretty easy to do in our industry/situation, examine how that is distributed over 24 hours - is it focused on business hours for example, and work back to calls per second).
