Automatic Code Generation for LYE, a High-Performance Caching SOAP Implementation

In this paper, we present our experience in automating the XML schema driven serialization approach within the Apache Axis 1 and Axis 2 SOAP frameworks. We have gen- eralized our previous template based approach to serializa- tion (7) as a generic XML schema driven serialization ap- proach and realized the generic approach via two stylisti- cally different and non-intrusive implementation strategies. We illustrate the benefits of our approach - performance improvements of up to 89% with low memory overhead - by empirically comparing it with the Java Bean based ap- proaches employed in Apache Axis 1 and Axis 2.
