Re: Poor performance in parsing kSOAP response. Ideas?

Hi,

On what kind of configuration is your stuff running ?
What about the other Java code running on your device ? 
Isn't it a problem with the JVM ?

Regards,
Sebastien.

        Classification: 



Hi,

I'm using kSOAP to call .NET web services. I managed to get both the
.NET services and the kSOAP calls to work correctly after reading a few
very useful messages here. 

However, Im seeing really really poor performance from the kxml parser
running the the J2ME wireless toolkit emulator (no "slow down" options
used). I added some timing code around the http transport and the parser
is taking over 50 seconds for an array of 60 results of this "GetInfo"
response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:tns="http://blah.blah.com/"
xmlns:types="http://blah.blah.com/encodedTypes"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body
soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
    <GetInfoResponse>
      <GetInfoResult href="#id1" />
    </GetInfoResponse>
    <soapenc:Array id="id1" soapenc:arrayType="types:Details[2]">
      <Item href="#id2" />
      <Item href="#id3" />
    </soapenc:Array>
    <types:Details id="id2" xsi:type="types:Details">
      <ID xsi:type="xsd:int">int</ID>
      <Target xsi:type="xsd:string">string</Target>
      <Target2 xsi:type="xsd:string">string</Target2>
      <Target3 xsi:type="xsd:string">string</Target3>
      <Hkey xsi:type="xsd:long">long</Hkey>
    </types:Details>
    <types:Details id="id3" xsi:type="types:Details">
      <ID xsi:type="xsd:int">int</ID>
      <Target xsi:type="xsd:string">string</Target>
      <Target2 xsi:type="xsd:string">string</Target2>
      <Target3 xsi:type="xsd:string">string</Target3>
      <Hkey xsi:type="xsd:long">long</Hkey>
    </types:Details>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

That's unusably slow.

In addition, I am working from the source distribution which I have
modified slightly to handle cookies in the http transport class, as I
need it for session tracking, and added the support for dates and base64
byte arrays.

Any thoughts on this performance? Is it what I should expect? I guess if
it is then I'm going to need to write some horrible http proxy coding
techniques and avoid soap entirely - which is a great shame!

Thanks
Jonathan
