HttpMessageComposer.populateMessage(Message, T) calls a helper method, getRequestInfo(HttpServletRequest) every time. This method will call several of the accessor methods of HttpServletRequest to populate the HttpRequest meta information to set in the ESB Message Properties. One accessor method of HttpServletRequest stands out as being expensive: getLocalName(). This method under-the-hood calls java.net.InetAddress.getHostName()/getHostByAddr(), which accounted for 12.8% of the total testing time [1]. The proposed fix is to cache the request's localName. So change this: requestInfo.setLocalName(request.getLocaleName()); to this: requestInfo.setLocalName(getLocalName(request)); | | private static final String getLocalName(HttpServletRequest request) { | String localAddr = request.getLocalAddr(); | String localName = localAddr_to_localName.get(localAddr); | if (localName == null) { | synchronized (localAddr_to_localName) { | localName = request.getLocalName(); | localAddr_to_localName.put(localAddr, localName); | } | } | return localName; | } | private static final Map<String,String> localAddr_to_localName = new HashMap<String,String>(); JProfiler proved this hot spot completely fell off the map once the fix was applied.
