Workload description

A Service Oriented Architecture-based (SOA-based) workload was used in a stand-alone mode (no database required).

It models a motor insurance company. There are three major facets to the company infrastructure:
  • Claims services (designed as Web Services)
  • Call Center Claims application
  • Third party gateway

For this measurement, the Claims services facet was used. This facet uses only the Web Services feature of WebSphere®. The Claims services facet can use multiple payload sizes for both the request and response. This test used a payload size of 10 KB for both request and response.
