JDK1.3 vs JDK1.4

[Andy Dejung]

Hello Together
I migrated a application from JDK1.3 to JDK1.4. The importprocess runs under JDK1.3 three minutes long. After the migration the process runs 20 minutes.
Has anyone an Idea what I do wrong?
Here a brief description what I'm doing in the importprocess:
I parse with sax a large XML-File (30MB) and store it partly in to a mysql DB. After that I transform the XML and write it out to a other XML-File.
Can anyone help me to find out why it takes so much longer?
Andy

Did you already try to use a profiler to find the bottleneck?

[Andy Dejung]

No not jet.
Could you recommend one?
I working with eclipse, is there a plugin?
Thanks

There is a plugin for integrating JProfiler. Seems to work fine for me.

As you have recommended I used the JProfiler to find out where I lose the time. And surprising it is not in the java core classes but in the classes of the packages org.xml.sax and org.apache.xml.serialize and other apachen packages.
Some method calls take about 10 times as long as the had with Java 1.3
I have no clue why it is so as I only changed the JDK.
Any idea?
Thanks for help
Andy

Those classes are part of JRE1.4, but not of 1.3 afair. Perhaps you are therefore using different versions of those libraries, depending on the JDK?

[Andy Dejung]

You are right I deploy the xalan.jar but it uses the classes from the jdk1.4. I'm using the j2sdk1.4.1_01 but I could not find out which version of xalan it is included.
How can I switch that the xalan.jar is used and not the jdk classes?
Thank you again you help me a lot.

Sorry, I don't know...

Hi Andy,
Place the xalan.jar, xercesImpl.jar, and xml-apis.jar in the <java-home>\lib\endorsed directory, where <java-home> is where the runtime software is installed.
Or use the -Xbootclasspath java commandline option to prepend the new xalan.jar, xercesImpl.jar, and xml-apis.jar to the boot class path.

Thanks you two Ilja Preuss and Beno�t d'Oncieu with your help I could solve the problem. After moving the three jars to the /lib/endorsed directory the program runs quick again.

Again thanks a lot for your help
