Apache Soap vs Axis

[Pramodh Peddi]

My company is trying to make the product more scalable. We are using Apache Soap right now. So, we are considering migrating from Soap to Axis as one of the important sources to enhance the scalability/performance of the product.   Can anyone provide any official documentation on how better a performance can Apache Axis give compared to Apache Soap? Googling around gave me many links saying the same, but it would be easy for me to convince my co-workers/boss.   Can anyone provide (or refer to) any application implemented in Axis and also in Soap, which can be used to compare performances of both? And is there any official Apache Axis documentation which explains how to migrate from Apache soap to Apache Axis when using MessageRouter implementation.   Are there any good tools in the market to test (load test) the web services applications. I found one: http://www.mindreef.com/products/overview.html, but wondering is there are any others.   We currently use MessageRouter implementation in Apache Soap. Any one has any suggestions on this while migrating from Soap to Axis.   Thanks in advance! I appreciate the help.   Pramodh Peddi Software Engineer v 781-674-2738 f  781-674-2760 www.imprivata.com   People are talking about OneSign: “We were spending 35% of our IT time on password-related issues, says Paula Chesbrough, CIO of Eagle Bank in Everett, Mass. “We’ve reduced that workload to 10%.”  Network World, 8/9/04   “Imprivata Quells Management Burdens” CRN, 8/9/04
