Thanks a lot (and also for Scott on the suggestion on NoTcpDelay). I will
try the setNoTcpDelay first (as it's much simpler) and see if there is any
help. If situation does not improve, I will try the HTTPClient solution.
Meanwhile, I have two questions (actually for Scott):
(1) I know that the TCP delay and Nagle algorithm is to protect network
congestion by large number of small packets. It is useful for application
like telnet. However, it looks like in an HTTP request/response model where
the packet is not small, Nagle algorithm will likely cause performance
degrade. Is there any reason why Apache SOAP has TCP delay enabled (and not
disabled) by default?
(2) As an alternative, I am thinking of writing a transport to use Sun
provided HttpUrlConnection as it handles the persistent connection for me.
I searched the archive and see one reason of not using it in Apache SOAP is
that we can't access the data stream if a 500 error occurs. Apart from
this, is there any other reason for it? As we primarily use SOAP/HTTP as a
transport media for XML message, the 500 issue is not that important to us.

I don't know about the server side, but here is info on how to get
this going for Apache SOAP client:

Here's some discussion of performance stuff:

In addition, the TcpNoDelay factor (that Scott mentions in another
email in this thread) is worth looking into. It affects latency per
connnection but doesn't affect overall throughput (it's pure
I/O-blocked delay). You will know it underlies your problem if you
are seeing R/T times that are remarkably and consistently like 200ms.
