I have written a serial communication code in C and Java for Windows platform. Below is the lines of code. Both the lines check if host is reachable. The difference of the time taken to connect for C and Java is very huge as shown below:
Native socket connection call: takes about 0 milliseconds
connect( sock, (struct sockaddr *)&host_address, sizeof(host_address));
Java socket connection call: takes about 621 milliseconds
SSLSocket socket = (SSLSocket) sslSocketFactory.createSocket(ipAddress, portNumber);
Can anyone tell me why there is so much of difference? What I think is Java ends up taking lot of time because of the interaction of byte code with Native code. If this is so, why?
