Sun's Java™ Enterprise Platforms and Developer Organization has collected our performance best practices and tuning advice in the form of a new White Paper. Please check out the Java Tuning White Paper and give us your feedback!
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has become the industry's de facto standard to build and deploy complex composite
applications with greater business agility and improved efficiencies for trading partners and customers. Web services, the
predominant underlying technology of SOA, have continued to evolve in areas of security, interoperability, reliability, and
performance. This paper provides detailed analysis and realities of newly available technologies, such as Fast Infoset (FI),
which provide dramatically improved Web services performance and scalability.
JSR-173
introduces new Streaming API's for XML (StAX) which is a
standardized Java based API for pull-parsing XML developed though
the community process. This document describes the Sun Java Streaming
XML Parser (SJSXP™) which is a freely available implementation
of JSR-173 and which discusses some of its performance characteristics.
A comparison of SOAP based web services performance
of the J2EE and .NET platforms. In all cases tested J2EE significantly
outperforms .NET. Get the whitepaper to learn about the tests that were
used and the results that were obtained.
Check back after the JavaOne 2004 conference for the downloadable code
for WS Test.
( Note that this performance comparison is about web
services whereas the previous XML Test comparison is about the XML
processing stacks. )
A team of engineers from Sun compared the XML Processing
Performance between Java and .NET. For example we found that the Java
SAX parser significantly outperformed the .NET pull parser for the
majority of use cases. We took care to
ensure that the application code and hardware configuration used on both
platforms were as similar as possible in order to make an objective
performance comparison. We don't expect you to just to take our word
for it; we've provided instructions and source code so that you can run
the test yourself. Get the whitepaper to learn more about the XML tests
that were used and download the source code from the Web Services Code Samples page so that you can evaluate the
performance yourself!
