This is a similar problem to Serialization. The time it takes to 1) decide what to do - typically a string comparison on an element or attribute name 2) coerce xml data into non-string types will likely "swamp" the small amount of extra time it takes to invoke a setter via reflection, most of which is the construction of an Object array to pass to Method.invoke(). That's not to say the difference is unimportant. If you have to parse lots of xml, it will definitely add up over time. e.g. See my 0.4 seconds from 2.4 seconds estimate above (which is probably not all reflection overhead anyway?)

BTW, there is no XSD at all in this test. So validation is not done. Yes, I understand the impl based on generated parsers may not be the most optimal possible. This is not meant to criticize the idea in general. I am puzzled by the results myself.

Making sure they have identical sax parsers and configuration. One issue I just noticed is that the generated parser does a if/else switch style tree with equalsIgnoreCase(). JBossXB uses maps internally, so this could be one area of difference.

Also, I think you should do some timing against XJC generated code. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4257937#4257937 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=4257937

All I know is that a code generation approach reduces bind time to zero as the only overhead is loading the parser classes. I am not an XML parsing expert. I just used the Sax parser that comes with the JDK. Also, the algorithm I used may not be optimal as fast-jaxb was the first time I ever wrote a sax parser.

Another thing to check, is to make sure they are using the same parser. JBossxb could be bringing in a better version of xerces, while the fast-jaxb generated parser is using the jdk version.

Perhaps it's something like Adrian suggests where the fast-jaxb classes are using schema validation. It just doesn't make sense that a pregenerated parser would be slower than a dynaimc reflection based model. The pregenerated version has less work to actually do, and it can do direct method invocation as opposed to reflection which is definitely faster.
