Hi All
We have implemented a SOAP Web Services server and client using Java 1.6,
Apache Axis 2 v1.3 and Tomcat 6. We have also implemented a client in C# and
.NET. The http connection using Java is slower than .NET but still acceptable.
The https/SSL connection using Java client (and self-signed certificate) is
much slower than .NET and about 100 times slower than http (non-SLL) connection
which is not acceptable!.
I'm wondering if there are ways to improve the https performance and whether
there are configurable parameters in AXIS server or client which can improve
https speed for Java clients. (e.g. less strong encryption in SSL).
We even replaced the Tomcat Java SSL library with native C library but it
didn't help that much!
Based on the SSL logs, apparently axis uses shared SSL sessions, but still each
SAOP operation takes more than 4 seconds (40ms without SSL).
Note that I don't specifically create HTTPS/SSL connections in my code. I use
the AXIS2 libraries and the Java classes generated from the WSDL file using
wsdl2java.
I'd appreciate your help.
Thanks
Jim
