Performance Issues

The following sections are areas where WebLogic's implementation of RMI has reportedly demonstrated marked enhancements in performance over generic RMI implementations.

Scalability

Scaling for RMI clients is linear. The WebLogic Server implementation of RMI, running on a small, single-processor, PC-class server can reportedly support more than 1,000 simultaneous RMI clients. If true, this is a marked improvement on the basic JavaSoft RMI implementation. See http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/rmi/rmi_intro.html#852658.

WebLogic RMI requests can be divided into a determinant number of threads. Multithread processing allows exploitation of latency times and available processors. WebLogic's implementation ...
