Title
Removing Redundant Boundary Checks In Contextual Composition Frameworks
Abstract
Currently, contextual component frameworks, such as Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), provide for application modularity at the cost of reduced performance. This "endemic" is partly due to the fairly liberal execution of platform code at component boundaries. The task of such code is to satisfy boundary conditions that components have specified at deployment time. In some cases, the execution of this code becomes redundant. The overhead penalty in modular applications can be reduced or eliminated if this redundancy is removed.We have developed a method for detecting and removing such redundancies. This method can be applied to optimize EJB application servers as well as other contextual composition platforms. We have evaluated our method on a prototype, and results indicate clear runtime improvements of optimized scenarios over un-optimized scenarios. We argue that it is now possible to develop modular contextually-composing applications that are also well-performing.
