Note – The flag -Dcom.sun.CORBA.ORBdebug=giop generates many debug messages in the logs. This is used only when you suspect message fragmentation.

In this sample output above, the createFromStream type is shown as 4. This implies that the message is a fragment of a bigger message. To avoid fragmented messages, increase the fragment size. Larger fragments mean that messages are sent as one unit and not as fragments, saving the overhead of multiple messages and corresponding processing at the receiving end to piece the messages together.

If most messages being sent in the application are fragmented, increasing the fragment size is likely to improve efficiency. On the other hand, if only a few messages are fragmented, it might be more efficient to have a lower fragment size that requires smaller buffers for writing messages.

Improving ORB Performance with Java Serialization

It is possible to improve ORB performance by using Java Serialization instead of standard Common Data Representation (CDR) for data for transport over the network. This capability is called Java Serialization over GIOP (General Inter-ORB Protocol), or JSG.

In some cases, JSG can provide better performance throughput than CDR. The performance differences depend highly on the application. Applications with remote objects having small amounts data transmitted between client and server will most often perform better using JSG.
