Hi David, I've noticed that the Axis website claims speed gains over ApacheSOAP, but I've never really seen any evidence to back this up. I'd be really curious to know what kinds of benchmarks have been done comparing the performance of the two products.
I will ask, though, whether or not debugging output could have been an issue in your scenario. I don't know exactly how you are using the product, but I know that initially we had the output set to DEBUG mode for our entire application (which included Axis) and this cost us a lot in terms of performance. Moving Axis to the INFO level sped things up dramatically. Anyway, just a few random thoughts. -- ======================================= Jess Sightler Programmer Exim Technologies 131 Falls Street Greenville SC 29601 Phone: 864-679-4651 On Fri, 2002-11-01 at 15:01, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I took a web service I created with Apache SOAP 2.3.1 and converted it > to work with Axis 1.0.
