Hi,

I am doing a performance comparison between Mule and Apache Synapse. For this, I want to evaluate the performance figures of Mule for below mentioned web services proxy scenario.

There is a web service A hosted in Axis2 (or XFire). There is a WSDL describing the service A. There is a web service client written using Axis2 (or XFire). Now Mule is placed between the server hosting service A and the client. Mule should host a proxy service for service A and publish the WSDL of service A. Then client should be able to connect to the Mule's proxy service URL and access the service A, as if the actual service is hosted in Mule. Client should also be able to view the WSDL for service A by using the ?wsdl suffix to proxy service's URL. Mule should internally direct the service invocation requests to the actual service hosted in Axis2 (or XFire) and return the results to the client.

I would like to know how the above functionality can be achieved using the latest public release of Mule. As I am doing a performance comparison, I want to do this using the currently available and integrated features of Mule. It is much appreciated if a sample configuration optimized for higher performance can be provided.

Any help is much appreciated...

Thanks, Chathura
