I'm currently tracking down performance issues in a highly multi-threaded
application which heavily uses BeanUtils (1.8.3). I identified
MethodUtils#getMatchingAccessibleMethod as a major problem. Especially its call
to
Log log = LogFactory.getLog(MethodUtils.class);
for each invocation. In my environment, using log4j, this always involves a
call to HashTable which is synchronised. This causes a lot of waiting time in
that call in my application.
Please consider using a static logger on class level rather than the new logger
for each invocation of MethodUtils#getMatchingAccessibleMethod.
Cheers,
Carsten
