Ivan,
Thanks for the tip. I knew that this the preferred way to handle such problems.
Nonetheless I would like to know if Axis should be able to handle such large responses.
You see, it was the first time, I encountered such a problem with Axis.
But I think it is not unusual for a business component to return some hundred or thousand objects.
Can I use such components with Axis? If the performance is as poor as by now, I can't.
Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanx again. -Thomas

Tip:
Build a service with the habilitie to retrieve the information "page by page". If you have, let's say, 5000 clients, show them in your GUI in a paged form.... like google do on searches.... maybe 200 clients by page (25 pages) shoud be good. bye

It is far too slow. Takes between 1 and 2 minutes for one request as desribed below. Also, the heap becomes very large: about 300 MB filled with instances of parser and Axis classes.

Hi all,
I'm new to this list, yet not new to Axis. I would appreciate to hear your thoughts on the following:
We're using Axis/SOAP to connect our GUI Clients with a backend server. Here's an example: A client wants to display a set of customers. It requests them via SOAP RPC Call and gets a Collection of objects in return, which it can display in a JTable. As you can imagine, the number of objects returned may easily exceed a number of, let's say some thousands. That produces a very large XML SOAP response, which is very hard to parse. It takes about 80 seconds to finish such a request. I tracked the problem down to find out that the bottleneck seems to be on the client side, when deserializing the XML data into Java objects.
I'm using Axis 1.2 RC 1 with Xerces 2.6.2. JDK is 1.4.2_05. I'm running Client and Tomcat on the same machine for testing.
So, my question: Am I using Axis for something it is not intended or should it be able to handle such large responses?
Thank you for your opionion and advice.
Cheers, Thomas
