Soap serialization effect on communication nodes and protocols
Although serialization improves the transmission of data through utilization of bandwidth, but its impact at the communication systems is not fully accounted. This research used Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Web services to exchange serialized and normal messages via Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Java Messaging System (JMS). We implemented two web services as server and client endpoints and transmitted SOAP messages as payload. We analyzed the effect of unserialized and serialized messages on the computing resources based on the response time and overhead at both server and client endpoints. The analysis identified the reasons for high response time and causes for overhead. We provided some insights on the resources utilization and trade-offs when choosing messaging format or transmission protocol. This study is vital in resource management in edge computing and data centers.
