which the OS will anyway stream through internally without placing on the
NW interface.
I thought local http traffic goes through the whole tcp stack, its little
overkill when both Synapse and Webservice are in the same jvm.
Any other transport choices available to get them to communicate, like
straight java call?
Yes, it will go through the TCP stack, but will be received immediately.
I would assume that keeping the ESB separate and enforcing hard
modularity would be more useful than trying to tweak in a bit more
performance in this case.
You could get the ESB to load balance between a number of the service
implementations and give better performance. Also, Synapse performs
extremely well - if you need references let me know. Axis2 has a local
transport implementation, but I would think that it may not work
straight away with your Axis(1) services, but may be able to get it
working rather easily if you can spend some time on it
