Applying the Method

The Appvance method surfaces scalability, performance, and developer productivity differences between Internet application services built with the JAVA application server and database tools and the same services built with native XML technology. Often we view scalability from two perspectives:

Binding acceleration. Implements the JAVA objects and XQuery approach. The use cases contrast performance and developer productivity based on the typical developer choices of XML parsing techniques (XML binding compiler, Streaming XML parser, and DOM approaches for JAVA and XQuery parsing)

Mid-tier caching for service acceleration. Implements a use case with native XML databases (XML DB) and relational databases (RDBMS) to contrast database performance across a variety of XML message sizes and database operations (insert, update, delete, and query
