I don't think that asking about system performance is an especially good idea for getting your questions answered. In general, JDBC expects direct network connections, open database sockets, etc. You probably won't be able to make that happen in a cloud environment. SOAP is a good alternative in that kind of environment, since you can typically use SOAP over HTTP, which is generally already open. WSDL is just a way to publish SOAP interfaces.
