Ok, I started a new test with ognl 2.6.11 vs ognl 2.7.2 vs ognl 2.7.2 + javassist Request-response time was stopped with Yslow firefox plugin for firefox 3
firstly ognl 2.6.11 was faster than 2.7.2 with or without javassist everytime, no matter how often I executed the test. I couldn't notice any difference in performance between 2.7.2 and 2.7.2 + javassist. Anyway, I reverted back to 2.6.11. (Still disappointed with how slow struts2 is compared to struts1 despite haven taken all the performance tuning measures listed on the apache site) On Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 2:34 AM, Dale Newfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > yorlick kilroy wrote: > >> I'm sorry but I only just read about javassist now, as I had no idea what >> it >> is nor does.
