What Is Faster--EJBs Or CDI? A JMH Benchmark

"Premature Optimization Is The Root Of Some Evil"

This screencast is an outtake from the Java EE 7 Testing online workshop. Bootstrap Java EE 7 and Effective Java EE 7 (explains how a real Java EE application looks like) are also available online.

Just curious, is @Stateless to @RequestScoped really a valid comparison? I'm thinking @Stateless to @ApplicationScoped would be more of an apples-to-apples test. Thoughts?

Thank you Adam. I had never used JMH before. It looks like a very useful tool, and I'll definitely be trying it out.

How would you compare JMH to using something like jmeter?

Hello Adam! Thank you very much for the video. I was inspired by your work and just repeat the benchmark on WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.7, but adding the Spring Framework version. The my results are the following:

Benchmark (implementation) (path) (port) (server) Mode Samples Score Error Units
p.d.r.b.RestImplementationsBenchmark.messages ejb /message 9080 localhost thrpt 80 1793,453 - 26,130 ops/s
p.d.r.b.RestImplementationsBenchmark.messages cdi /message 9080 localhost thrpt 80 1505,911 - 11,167 ops/s
p.d.r.b.RestImplementationsBenchmark.messages spring /message 9080 localhost thrpt 80 1776,184 - 39,421 ops/s

If the table is corrupted just the numbers:

ejb thrpt 80 1793,453 - 26,130 ops/s
cdi thrpt 80 1505,911 - 11,167 ops/s
spring thrpt 80 1776,184 - 39,421 ops/s

As we all can see, EJBs have the same performance as Spring, but CDI is much slowly.

Adam and colleagues, let me share my benchmark source code and some results on IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS (executing on a 'small' IBM Mainframe - z BC 12) and on IBM WebSphere Application Server ND (executing on Windows 7): https://github.com/samolisov/spring-vs-ejb-vs-cdi-benchmark

The code is similar like Adam's one but a Spring MVC version is added.
