Hi all

We are now in profiling stages of some CXF 2.1 based web services. In
all our services we observe that most of the CPU time is not consumed by
the service logic itself but by CXF. I attach a picture (worth 1000
words) of a JProfiler snapshot. In the snapshot we see the
PhaseInterceptorChain.doIntercept() taking 78.4% of the CPU which is
fine as this includes the eventual service logic execution. What happens
next is a bit strange, here is the ASCII art rendering:

78.4% PhaseInterceptorChain.doIntercept()
     26.4% OutgoingChainInterceptor.handleMessage

This makes complete sense. The OutgoingChainInterceptor sets up the outgoing chain and invokes it. Thus, this number would include ALL of the work required to send the response including the JAXB marshalling, flushing the streams, etc....


     20.0% ServiceInvokerInterceptor.handleMessage
     16.9% ReadHeadersInterceptor.handleMessage


The call to ServiceInvokerInterceptor.handleMessage() ends up calling
the actual service logic which takes about 5% of the CPU time so, the
extra 15% penalty seems to excessive,

That's really not good. Any chance you can dig into that one a bit furthur?


what's even more worrying are the
other two handleMessage calls (OutgoingChainInterceptor and
ReadHeadersInterceptor) that gobble up together more then 40% of the
CPU.

ReadHeadersInteceptor is the first interceptor that actual reads stuff off the wire. Question: is it actually measuring CPU usage or just a "nanosecond count" or something. (raw time) Normally, this is where it would pause waiting for the message to come off the network. Everytime I see a large number hear, it's not really using the CPU, it's actually down in the ServletInputStream waiting for data from the socket.

Note that we have no custom interceptors defined, our configuration
looks like this:


<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml"/>
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-servlet.xml"/>
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-soap.xml"/>

<bean id="cxf" class="org.apache.cxf.bus.CXFBusImpl">

<jaxws:endpoint id="SomeServiceEndpoint"
                   address="/SomeService"
                   implementor="#someService"

implementorClass ="com.betfair.services.someservice.SomeServiceServiceImp
l">



Is this behaviour expected in a properly configured system?

Thanks
