Hi,
I was trying to test the performance of APACHE soap on windows NT 4.0
I wrote a simple service application which adds two numbers. The service is deployed
with tomcat engine.
The client creates a large number of threads and each thread builds its own call
object and sends two numbers to the server to add.
The results which I got were highly unreliable.
With 500 threads spawned at the client, I got the following error at the server
terminal-->

.............and so on
And at the client the error message was-->
Caught SOAPException (SOAP-ENV:Client): error opening socket: Connection refused
: no further information
When I spawned only 50 threads at the client, I got 23 results (for 23 threads the
numbers were added) after which it gave the same error as in case of 500 threads.
Is this a performance bottleneck in apache soap. i.e. it will not handle more than
20-25 requests at a time.
please advise.
regards
siddharth.
