I finally tracked down the issue that was causing the performance regression in the pending 2.4.4 release. It was another case of the MarshalledObject generating huge serialized forms due to the encoded object's class loader classpath. The change that triggered this was the removal of the jboss-client.jar from the run.jar classpath. This caused the ejb handles to see the server classpath as their annotated classpath and resulted in 9k serialized form sizes. I didn't want to go back to needing additional classes in the classpath so I used a trival subclass of MLet as the server main classloader that returned an empty URL[] from the getURLs() method.
This restored the RMI server codebase value as the annotated codebase of the ejb handles and the serialized size dropped to < 1k. The moral is known minimize your MarshalledObject input's class loader classpath. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Scott Stark Chief Technology Officer JBoss Group, LLC xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
