You both bring interesting points to light. I certainly get Anne's "machine efficiency vs. programmer efficiency" argument. I've managed to got lots done in Perl, Tcl and Javascript, so I'm biased against on-the-metal system programming languages. Java seems wonderfully expressive, but my con

I suspect that the use of reflection has a lot to do with the issue. Java platforms use reflection to enable a bunch of dynamic features which are really hard to reproduce in a C++ environment. You'll find this to be true in SOAP platforms, servlet engines, and J2EE servers. It's a trade-off betwee

2003-02-02 Thread Dennis Sosnoski
I think this is an artificial distinction, Anne. I'd suspect the difference in performance of your SOAP platforms is due more to how they're structured internally rather than to any inherent differences in C++ vs Java. For instance, Java SOAP implementations commonly use reflection to access da

Dennis, I absolutely agree with you regarding application code. Using well-optimized code and a good application server, you ought to be able to make a Java application run at a speed that's reasonably comparable to a C++ application. There's a bigger difference, though, when it comes to infrastru

A servlet container is a container within an application server that can host Java servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSPs). All J2EE application services include a servlet container. They also include an EJB container. There are a number of application servers that provide a servlet container, but not

Anne, Thanks for your response. As you probably suspected, when I said "native", I meant something written in C, C++ or some other language that gets compiled to machine code. Things of that nature are obviously faster, so I guess my question really boiled down to: what are the advantages of

Accessing a service via SOAP as well as Java

2003-02-02 Thread Naresh Bhatia
Title: Accessing a service via SOAP as well as Java I have exposed a service via SOAP. However, I also need to access this service internally from my application. Do you think it is okay to access the service directly by calling its SOAP implementation (bypassing the Axis servlet completely)?
