application gone "extremly" slow after upgrade to 2.1.0.GA

[terryb]

After upgrading to 2.1.0.GA from 2.0.2.FP, whole application has gone like "8" times slower. it struggles to render pages, even the homepage takes huge time. same behaviours on 2 different machines. I could really use some clues here.

JBOSS AS 4.3.0.CP02.


Wondering if there is anything wrong the way I have interceptors, here is my component.xml.


<core:init debug="true" jndi-pattern="@jndiPattern@" transaction-management-enabled="true">

From seam21migration.txt:

DTDs and Schemas
----------------
The DTDs for Seam XML files are no longer supported.  Please use the XML schemas
for validation.  Files that use the Seam 2.0 XSDs should be updated to refer to 
the 2.1 XSDs

If you don't update XML schemas the application goes significantly slower.

Hope this helps

I have update DTD in all .page.xml files, componens.xml. Now under my deployed ear only one file has DTD (META-INF\jboss-app.xml).

So I think problem is somewhere else. When click on some link, on my site, I see web page struggling to refresh, long after query has run. I think some vital information is missing from seam21migration.txt.

Hi, this thread, last post, says it is a lot faster with DEBUG off

HotDeploymentIsSlowAndHasBugsWithSeam21

I am migrating to 2.10 tomorrow ...

Thanks Ingo, yes Seam Debug was the problem. Switching it off has now brough my application back to previous performance level.
