Re: [OJB-developers] Lots of class mappings in OJB Problem

Hi Matthew,

sorry for answering late, I had been on a 3 day business trip.

I don't think that we speed up the parsing process much. It's already 
implemented with SAX, which is much faster than DOM and there is not 
much to improve here.

But to speed up your "lots of classes" scenario I just checked in a 
little hack into the CVS (I made changes to ClassDescriptor, 
DescriptorRepository and RepositoryPersistor):

It now works like follows:
1. The Persistory is asked to read in a Repository from a file (say 
"repository.xml").
2. The persistor checks if a file "repository.xml.serialized" exists.

2a) if this file exists, the Persistor deserializes a 
DescriptorRepository instance from this file.
This instance is returned and thus the slow XML parsing of 
"repository.xml" is avoided.

2b) if not, it performs the ordinary SAX parsing of the "repository.xml" 
file. The resulting repository object is immediately serialized to the 
file "repository.xml.serialized". Thus it can be used on the next 
application startup.

I assume that Java-deserialization is much faster than SAX Parsing.
How long does the Application startup take with this solution for your 
scenario?

I will polish up things a little, but I think it is OK to use this stuff 
already.

cheers,

Thomas
