[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-1065) Use a better mechanism to parse config files

Use a better mechanism to parse config files -------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-1065 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1065 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Configuration Affects Versions: 4.2.1.FINAL Reporter: Manik Surtani Assignee: Pete Muir Priority: Blocker Labels: jaxb Fix For: 5.1.0.BETA4 The current codebase heavily relies on JAXB to: 1. Generate a XSD schema from a Configuration bean 2. Generate a parser to use with an XML configuration This is known to be slow, and can significantly add to start up time: {quote} We did some analysis of our AS6 descriptor code which was using JAXB (800ms), compared to straight stax (10ms) {quote} A possible solution could be to still use JAXB to generate the schema, but to also write a Maven plugin which would generate a STAX parser based on the XSD schema and Configuration bean at build time. Infinispan would then use this STAX parser rather than a JAXB generated parser, which would be a lot faster.
