hi sachin,
please note that some web services platforms are
faster than others. just because RMI is 6x faster
than one particular implementation does not imply
that RMI is 6x faster than "web services".
our own platform, "GLUE", is optimized for web
services and gets about 800 round trip messages
per second between two VMs running on the same
machine, and around 500 messages/second when
they're on different machines on a low speed LAN.
cheers,
graham

Subject: web services performance
Hi,
I did a simple test to see how much performance
penalty one will have to pay for Openness of SOAP.
RMI was 6 times faster than web services. I used a
very simple function call to test this. (I am not
claiming that I am right, but this is what I got!!!)
I am sure other architects are also facing the
challenge of deciding what level of services one needs
to expose as web services. If we decide to expose
fundamental services then performace of the
applications will be very slow.
I am very interested in knowing what you think about
the future of web services performance? Any benchmark
data available to compare web services & other
protocals like CORBA or RMI or servlets.
Any comments will be highly appreciated.
