Some Aspects of Implementation of Web Services in Load Balancing Cluster-Based Web Server
Abhijit Bora, Tulshi Bezboruah · International Journal of Information Retrieval Research · 2019
We have designed, developed, and implemented SOAP-based web services in load balancing cluster-based web server and carried out load testing over the system. The roles of web services, such as client, broker, and service provider are segregated among different services. The system is monitored through a load testing tool, Mercury LoadRunner. The recorded system metrics are evaluated to study the overall performance and reliability aspects against different massive level of users. This article presents in detail the system architecture, testing methodology, and recorded system metrics. The statistical analysis is carried out to validate and correlate the overall assessment. This article also provides insights of some aspects of system metrics for deploying web services with segregated roles by using a cluster-based web server. It is observed that service with segregated roles is better than the service with merged roles. As a result, performance and reliability of the proposed system is observed to be better than other generic techniques for such deployment.
