Abstract
This chapter presents a performance study of the STEP Framework, an open-source application framework implemented on the Java platform that uses many popular open-source libraries, including: Hibernate, JAX-WS, and Log4J. This framework has been used for several years to teach development of distributed enterprise applications to undergrad students. This chapter also describes the performance measurements over a flight reservation web service that is included as an example in the source code distribution. It presents an assessment of the web service and shows how the performance of this specific application was studied in detail. The achieved results are put in context and compared with other technologies, highlighting the existing trade-offs.
