Comparative Study of Technologies Related to Component-Based Applications Based on their Response Time Performance

Component Based software development is an approach to develop the software system by selecting appropriate off-the-shelf (COTS) components and assemble them into a target software system under a well-defined software architecture to perform a well defined function [4].Various component technologies such as Component Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), Component Object Model (COM) and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) are used to develop these Component-Based applications which should have high performance.

So appropriate component technology should be selected to develop the Component-Based application. This study basically uses a tool to measure the response time of Component-Based application based on various technologies. By comparing these response times, we can find out that COM-Based application has less response time than EJB-Based application and thus can provide the required performance.
