Re: XML configuration and performance

Unfortunately I don't believe such a facility exists. You may be able to reduce cycle time by hot deploying but that's the best I can offer :-/ Well, either that, or rewrite it all in Rails ;-) L. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In theory you could find the point in the code where the files are loaded, and check to see if serialized versions of the xml tree are available, if they are load them directly using the Serialization support in Java, if not load the XML and Serialize the results for next time. As I mentioned, this is just theory, I have never even thought of trying something like this and I have no idea how much faster it would be than just parsing the XML, it might not be worth all the work.
