Incidentally, besides wanting to get the benefits of the latest code changes another reason for going with a recent daily build for the tests was that it would actually run all three versions! Axis 1.1 ran the rpc/enc version, but not either of the other two. Axis 1.2 alpha I think ran the Castor one, but not the either two. Axis 1.2 beta I'm not sure about - it may be that it'll run all three, except for needing to change a name or two (but it doesn't include the Castor serializers/deserializers).
I'd seen some traffic from you on the list discussing some performance improvements last month, so that was why I thought you might have made some progress on this. This is the most comprehensive series of tests I've done so I can't directly compare with results from earlier versions of Axis. I don't think anything has changed dramatically, though.
As for XSOAP, JibxSoap... I think the whole web services picture has changed dramatically with the move to doc/lit, and to me it seems like JAX-RPC has a lot of legacy baggage that's based on the original rpc/enc design philosophy. It really shouldn't be nearly as difficult as it is now to build web services with decent performance in Java. JibxSoap may or may not become a full framework in the future, but if nothing else I'm hoping it'll get people thinking about what to expect in terms of performance and ease of use.

Dennis,
Where can i download the examples for axis?
As an aside, first we had Alek pushing XSOAP and now we have you pushing JIBXSoap...Is this some kind of bug? (everyone building their own better mouse trap :)
thanks, dims

I've finally published my performance comparison of SOAP web services using open source frameworks, at http://www.sosnoski.com/presents/cleansoap/comparing.html In addition to the performance comparison itself (using JAX-RI doc/lit, Axis doc/lit, Axis-Castor, Axis rpc/enc, JibxSoap... and RMI, just as a baseline) this also has what I consider to be some good tips and examples for building the different types of Axis services (see http://www.sosnoski.com/presents/cleansoap/axis.html). The performance results (run using a build of Axis from last weekend, to get the latest performance enhancements) at http://www.sosnoski.com/presents/cleansoap/results.html do seem to show some issues with Axis.
Axis developers are welcome to use the examples as part of the Axis performance tests, if you'd like.
Now to catch up on the 886 messages I currently have stacked up in my Axis folder (which this one will add to)...
