Hello, We are experiencing a problem using RPC; (Apache SOAP 2.2 + tomcat 4.01 + 10Mbit ethernet LAN).
When client and service are running on the same PC, a simple RPC call takes about 25 msec for the roundtrip. On the LAN the same RPC call takes about 250 msec !!! Strangly, both CPUs are barely working at all (5%) and the network load is low. We are keeping the HTTP connection open and are re-using the Call object and we are using application scope objects on the server. Also we see that the SOAP messages are send in two packets: one for the header and one for the enveloppe. Appearently, the server is responding fast enough. We suspect that HTTP is to blame. Any ideas ? What is the normal performance we may expect for RPC call using SOAP? Thanks, Chris.
