JAX-RS: Performance improvement for JAXRSOutInterceptor.checkBufferingMode
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CXF-3261
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3261
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.3.1
         Environment: JDK 1.6

            Reporter: Ka-Lok Fung
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 2.3.3


While profiling CXF's JAX-RS implementation in a multi-threaded scenario (10 
threads simultaneously hitting our JAX-RS CXF-based application, repeated for 
many iterations), we noticed that a lot of time was spent inside 
JAXRSOutInterceptor.checkBufferingMode.

After examining the code we determined that the reason why was because 
InjectionUtils.invokeBooleanGetter was explicitly invoking a method without 
checking whether or not the method exists. Because the code relies on an 
exception to determine whether or not the method exists, it's a bit expensive 
because creating Exceptions is expensive in Java.

Instead of just invoking the method and depending on NoSuchMethodException, can 
you check to see if the method exists first before calling it? I do realize 
that it probably involves iterating getMethods() but this should be more 
efficient than generating the Exception.
