Right now we're doing way too much work during deserialization (recording SAX events, etc) in situations where we don't need to be, so I don't doubt that the RI is much faster. > I am in favour of interoperability over performance right now, and comfortably pleased that Axis has a focus in that direction...I suppose even if there isnt an official Sun interop test server, I could bring one up just to run client stuff against. ...The Sun ref implementation kit comes with -its own version of Tomcat (called 4.1 in the docs), containing lots of stuff -castor, xindice, openorb, openjms, Ant 1.4.1 with an extra tomcat deployment task; almost a complete 'open source is all you need' reference installation -lots of other stuff to fill up 50+MB of download -a lot of fairly good documentation -a 'for evaluation only' license The documentation / tutorial is a strong point; someone has gone to a lot of effort to taking you through the steps. But for all its complete bundle of stuff, the fact that it is such a complete bundle is what intimidates me: I wouldnt know where to begin to tease out the implementation and bring it up on a new app server. -steve
