A SOAP performance comparison of different WSRF implementations

Februar 17th, 2010

Meine Publikation zusammen mit Axel und Hai-Lang von der MEDES 2009:

Abstract

SOAP is the protocol used most often in web services communications. Implementations of the Web Services Resource Framework (WSRF) use SOAP as a communications protocol as well. Performance analysis’ for SOAP toolkits have been performed for various cases and toolkits but WSRF implementations have generally not been taken into account. This work compares the SOAP performance of three WSRF implementations, namely UNICORE 6 WSRFLite 1.8.6, Globus Toolkit 4 Java WS-Core 4.2.1 and Apache Muse v2.2.0. The benchmark results give a clear indication on how implementations fare performance-wise and can be used to decide which implementation is to be used, especially if performance is an issue.

My first WSRFLite service: a UNICORE WSRFLite tutorial

Mai 2nd, 2008

Recently I told about my success using WSRFLite. As I promised, I have written a comprehensive guide which describes how to

  • obtain, install and configure WSRFLite,
  • build and deploy your first service and
  • build a client and use it to access the deployed service.

You can download the guide from my personal page at HLRS (Publications->Software) or get it directly using this link; the DocBook source is also available for download. Both files are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 2.0 Germany license.
