I want to improve performance of xslt
I have a framework that generates the XML, based on the HTTP request and the current session state. I may test in HTML, but production output will be VXML - perhaps one or two "flavors" for different reasons.
Here's the slow part of my HttpServ开发者_开发问答let:
jsp InputStream ms = new java.io.ByteArrayInputStream(sb.toString().getBytes());
Source xmlSource = new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(ms);
String filePath = getServletContext().getRealPath(("/GetNextEvent-").
concat(req.getSession().getAttribute("client").toString().toUpperCase()).concat(".xsl"));
Source xsltSource = new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(filePath);
Result result = new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult(resp.getWriter());
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer t = tf.newTransformer(xsltSource);
t.transform(xmlSource, result);
This currently takes ~ 200ms. I'd like for it to be much quicker. Perhaps < 10ms?
- Suggestions for caching? - seeing that the xsl files stay the same throughout the deployment, the Transformer objects can be cached indefinitely. I'm thinking of caching it in the Session level, so each session (1000's simultaneous) has their own. Any suggestions? Should I use any frameworks for caching, for any reason?
- Is there a faster way to transform the xml to the response stream?
- Should I scrap this and go another route? If you noticed the sb.toString, I am using a StringBuilder to get the XML representation of the objects (objects use a stringbuilder to create XML string). It takes about 1 millisecond to create the XML document using the StringBuilders, so I'm not concerned about it at the moment.
Edit:
Here's the XSL document. The XML document is usually very small. Just a couple of elements. XML sample is below XSL:

Here's some XML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<response xmlns="http://twc.com/2009/01/ivr/framework" language="en-us" debug="true"
base="/IVRFrameworkResources/Outage/">
<command type="prompt"> BasicDialog <parameter>
<name>initial</name>
<value>en-us/prompts/OutageCleared.wav::Hello. I'm letting you know the
incident that caused your outage has been fixed. </value>
</parameter>
</command>
</response>
It is difficult to diagnose performance issues without seeing the XSLT or knowing how large/complex the XML and XSLT are.
You could be paying the cost of parsing the file(s), either the XSLT or the XML and/or you could have a very inefficient XSLT stylesheet.
For instance:
- Lots of
//XPATH statements, which if not needed can hurt performance for very large XML files. - Logic buried inside of templates that could be moved up into the template
@matchcriteria, which provides the opportunity for XSLT engines to optimize.
There are XSLT profilers that you can use to see where the bottlenecks are in your XSLT. For instance, oXygen has a very nice debugger/profiler:
If you will be running the XSLT many times, then you should cache the transformer object . That way, you only pay the cost to load and instantiate it once and re-use many times.
For instance, move the instantiation of your XSLT Template object into your severlet init()
TransformerFactory transFact = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Templates cachedXSLT = transFact.newTemplates(xsltSource);
and then where you perform the transform, use the cached TransformerFactory obj:
Transformer t= cachedXSLT.newTransformer();
t.transform(xmlSource, result);
Even with caching, the reason for unacceptable performance is often in the XSLT code itself -- which you haven't shown at all.
In my experience there have been cases when I was able to change an inefficient XSLT implementation in such a way that it was speeded up thousands of times.
Quite often the author implements an O(N^2) algorithm or worse, when an O(N) or even O(log(N)) algorithms exist.
Specify to us the problem being solved and provide the XSLT code that solves it. Then it might be possible for someone to give you a better performing solution.
I have met some tool that converts XSLT file into the java parsing code, but cannot find any reference right now. Sorry for incomplete answer, but I'm interesting to find it too.
