I have a SLSB that acts as web service client. The problem I have is that it takes quite some time for the work that is done "under the hood" to finish.

I've made an example that I've attached. It consists of one web service that I deployed on one JBoss instance and one SLSB that I deployed on another JBoss instance (both instances was located on localhost). The web service just returns some dummy data. The size of the SOAP message returned from the web service depends on the parameter sent in. In my example I send in 450, then the web service returns a SOAP message that is 386 kb.

The execution time for the web service to generate the dummy soap message is about 30 ms.
The execution time for the SEI method call to return is about 9000 ms. (the work done "under the hood")
The web service called was located on localhost, so it can't be to much network latency.

I don't know if this is a bug or if this is something that can be optimized thru some configuration. I posted this as a question on in JBossWS forum, but I've not received any response, that's why I made this post.

Cheers
Anders
