Performance Evaluation of J2EE & .NET Web Services Interacting With a .NET Client

The objective of this paper is to build an e-commerce website using ASP.NET as well as J2EE technologies. Visual Studio 2005 provides a great IDE to build seamless front end layer for the websites with minimum effort. Hence, it is used to build the presentation layer. The business logic layer is developed in ASP.NET 2.0 and J2EE, exposing the functions as web services. Two similar clients have been developed in ASP.NET. These two clients invoke the .NET and J2EE web services. The two similar websites are subjected to testing for correctness and performance. Stress and load testing is performed thoroughly on the website.
