I've moved from Tomcat to oc4j and the numbers have improved considerably. So at this point, it's not a complete hassle like it was before. Though now I'm interested to see how fast the old version would have worked on oc4j.
The results I was getting were consistent across both Tomcat 4.1.x and 5.0. It seems to happen with the render cycle, as I said. I haven't had time to profile it but I'll get on it this week. I have a feeling, and this is just a guess, that it might have something to do with the similarity between ognl and velocity syntax? I'm not sure but I should have some sort of information soon. One of the other things I'm going to try to do is use the ww2 tags to duplicate some of what I'm doing in velocity macros now. I'll try to replace my usage of macros with component tags and see how it works out. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
