How Domino manages the load if large number of people uses the web service at the same time

Hi there,

We have a severe performance issue by using the web services in Lotus Domino.

The connection actually is between the Oracle Weblogic Server with Domino Server with the web services approach.

Please advise. Many thanks ahead.

What is the web service doing?

Hi there,

Initially, we have a pure Notes Client application, afterward we change the Notes based to Web-based using JSP, EJB for the front-end, whereas the data are actually stored in Notes database. The JSP and EJB are running on Weblogic server, and the request and response are from Lotus Domino using web services approach. Whenever there is a web service call to Domino, the response time is really slow.

I am just wondering the problem is due to many users access the web service at the same time, or if there any other reasons cause the slow performance.

Would appreciate for your advise. Many thanks ahead.

Most likely the cause is due to inefficient LotusScript coding in the web service. There’s a good paper by an IBM guy which covers many of the things that can severely impact performance.
