Jerome,
I work at Embrapa and I've been working with the Restlet framework.
Congratulations for your initiative to create this framework.
In 2008, My staff began the development of a Web Service based on Restlet
framework. Our objective is: provide Thesaurus NAL and Thesagro terms for the
clients who are involved with Agricultural information in Brazil.
The access of the web service had a high performance when only ONE client
was using it. However, We had problems when we had more than only one client at
the same time using the web service. For ONE client the time for request was 20
ms, but for FIVE clients it was 10 s and for 50 clients it was 40 s.
We are really worried about the performance for more than one client
because we have been working on this web service for more than ONE YEAR. We
need to solve this problem urgently to try to put the web service in
production.
We are using the Restlet 1 and Simple conector. The clients aplications
request the Web Service with AJAX to autocomplete a TextArea with a list of
terms. The response of Web service's XML is small - 4K.
After a lot of research, We suspect that the bad performance happens
because the Restlet 1 is synchronous and if We try to migrate to the Restlet 2
We maybe solve the problem. To do this migration my staff will spend a lot of
time so, I would like to know if you recomend this procedure to solve the
problem with the bad performance. If you say yes, we will do this doesn't
matter how much time it involves, but if you say no, we will not wast more time.
Regards,
Leonardo Queirós.
