Basic Setup for Building and Running the performance test case ============================================== As described in the installation notes, extract the cxf binary distribution archive into an installation directory under the root drive. This creates the sub-directory build, which includes all of the product directories. 1. setup the build Enviroment To build and run the performance test case , you must install the J2SE Development Kit (JDK) 5.0 If you want to use ant to build and run the performance test case, you must install the Apache ant 1.6 build utility. The CXF_HOME system variable need to be set to the cxf binary install directory. 2. Build the performance test case There are two types of test case in the performance test case directory. The base directory provide a simple testcase base class for the client to calculate the server reponse time and throughput. There for you should build the base directory first, and then build the othere directory files. cd base ant cd ../soap_http_doc_lit ant 3. to run the performance test You can cd to soap_http_doc_lit/bin to run the test run_server and run_server.bat just startup the server run_client and run_client.bat can take these argument: -Operation to invoke the wsdl defined operation -BasedOn Time setup the invoking count with time -Amount define the invoke times , if based on time it means second -PacketSize define the packet size which client send to server -Threads define the thread number to run the perform test Can be a range or comma separated list to run multiple time with different thread counts. For example: -Threads 1-4,6,8,10 -WSDL wsdl location (defaults to the perf.wsdl) -BuildFile location of alternative build.xml file (mostly for running clients/servers)
