Performance Analysis EJB Application Servers
EJB application servers are widely used for enterprise applications
nowadays. The performance is always a very important issue when evaluating an
application server. However, most of performance tests in the past assume that
the server can use unlimited resources. And they only test how an application
responds with a certain number of requests. In this thesis, we designed and
implemented a series of consistent test cases for Weblogic 6.0, JBoss 2.4.4,
and BAS 4.5. We tested the performance of each type of enterprise beans. The
number of requests is changed gradually to show the server’s scalability. We
also tested the servers under different caching policies to see how they
perform when available resources change. The results show that Weblogic has
superior performance and scalability over the other two. JBoss also has
impressive performance for a free, open source server. BAS has similar
performance compared with JBoss.
