Dear Keith, Thanks for your reply. We're aware that Axis2 is much faster than Axis1.X and we have conducted similar tests as described in the articles. Our question is, is the performance gain in Axis2 is due to the use of StAX API? In my opinion StAX is not faster than SAX , so how come Axis2 is 5 times faster than Axis1.X? (We assumed the ADB binding part in Axis1.X performs as well as Axis 2). Best wishes, Mai Sun

Hi, Here are some results of performance testing We've done. You can go through these articles to see the reality (Axis2 is FAST). http://wso2.org/library/91 http://wso2.org/library/588 Thanks, Keith.

I read somewhere that Axis2 provides better performance comparing to Axis 1.X due to the introduction of StAX XML parsing. Based some tests, I can see that for large XML document Axis2 is 5 to 10 times faster than Axis 1.X. I'm a bit confused here since Axis1.X uses SAX parser which should be at least as fast as StAX parser, so why the performance improvement is achieved? Thanks a lot!
