I heard that using AXIS's default message transport (SOAP over HTTP) is going to be slow due to marshling & unmarshling; and the through-put decreases exponentially with the size of the SOAP message (Bandwidth).
I wonder whether it is a problem for Axis2 as well as Axis 1.x. Has anyone compared the performance of Axis2 or Axis 1.x with alternatives such as XFire, JAX-WS or ActiveSOAP.
I'm asking this, because our team is at building a high-load web site, whose front-end (say JSPs or Servlets) will talk to back-end services working as a Web Service. And we looking for a Web Service technology that would give us high transaction rate and low latency.
