Hi All,

I have a Java application that invokes a WCF SOAP web service. Of late, performance has become really bad. The first couple of invokes are fast (a couple of seconds, some less than a second) but each subsequent invokation of the web service is slower and slower (up to 60+ seconds).

Have any of you ever experienced this and can anyone provide any tips? Any help at all?

Some points:

1. The web service url is https. No private key so TCP dump useless.

2. Have checked other services running on same infrastructure and all are behaving ok.

3. Java application is fast if you point it to a mock web service locally.

Regards

Brian Ngure
