Özet
It is critical to address potential performance problems of XML-based SOAP to design a Web Service communication framework for mobile devices, as the mobile computing environment is physically constrained to limited computing power and network bandwidth. In this paper, we describe a Web Service communication framework for mobile computing, which optimizes SOAP message contents. The performance and efficiency of Web Service messaging can be significantly improved by removing the redundant or unchanging parts of SOAP messages. This paper shows that the redundant or static parts of a SOAP message may be treated as metadata and stored in a shared metadata space, for which we integrate our optimized Web Service communication framework with an information service. We evaluate our architecture through a benchmark testing of the resulting system. The empirical result shows that we save on average 83% of message size and on average 41% of transit time.
