Webservice - client service instantiation

Question

Do you know how costly is to create a webservice client service instance ?

 JavaWebService service = new JavaWebService();
 SomePort port = service.getJavaWebSer         


        

Answer 1

If you are using jax-ws, then you cannot share a port across threads (they are not thread-safe). if you are concerned about the overhead of creating a port (and have measured it and confirmed that it is a bottleneck in your application), then you could create a connection pool of ports.
