What are the performance characteristics of the integrated Web application server?
Initial tests have shown that the focused features and functions of the integrated Web application server use ~40% less memory usage then WebSphere Application server and no extra memory is needed for startup. JDBC database intensive applications may not perform as well with integrated Web application server. IBM recommends doing performance proof points with your own application to determine the performance characteristics of it running with each application server. Here are the results of some performance tests: • Trade 6 (a non EJB application) Trade6 is a heavy JDBC database application. WebSphere Application Server 6.1 performance was better then integrated Web application server in this situation. • IBM Web Facing tool application The integrated Web application server and WebSphere Application Server 6.1 had performance equal (within a percent).
