I just signed up for the users list to add my comment to Benson's email.
My CXF client startup experience is similar, but seems to be worse when testing CXF 2.3 compared to 2.2. We use JAX-WS and Aegis and the startup time for our largest service used to be 2200ms, which is already quite long. However, when testing 2.3, the same service takes 3000ms to initialize! This is a noticeable difference and also affects the startup time of our application. The release notes for 2.3 mentioned some work on speeding up CXF, so I'm not sure why we are seeing this slow down (was hoping to see the numbers go the other way). Nothing was changed except the CXF version update for this test. For now we are staying on 2.2.11 just to avoid the speed hit. Any idea why this might take so long? The test includes creating the client and calling 1 test method (that does nothing on the server to ensure it's not our fault). Kevin
