Hello every body We are preparing a benchmark to compare SOAP and RMI on different application server. One of our test is like an echo service, we put a string to serveur and the server return this string on the client. We have two tests one � 100 characters and a second � 4000 charact�rs running on weblogic 6.1 with Apache SOAP 2.2.
The results are: (VU for Virtual User) Tests serialize round-trip deserialize total (ms) 100 1 VU 3,5 171,9 1,7 177,1 100 10VU 11,4 193,6 2 ,9 207,9 100 50 VU 22,9 332,5 5,4 350,8 4000 1 VU 3,5 19,6 2,0 25,1 4000 10 VU 18,2 76,8 6,2 101,2 4000 50 VU 24,4 261,8 8,8 295,0 The problem is that the 4000 characters test is faster than the 100. I Made other test and I saw that before 1000 characters the round-trip is 180 ms and after 1000 characters the round-trip is 16 ms. I catch network trafic for this two tests and there is a delta time at 120 ms after the header packet and a insignificant delat time for more than 1000 characters. So My question is why there is this delta time with less than 1000 characters or why the 4000 characters tests is faster than 100 characters. I check my code and every thing is well Thanks for your response. Bertrand
