SOAP Usage Survey - results

["S. Mike Dierken" <mi...@KnowNow.com>]

Here are the rough results from the informal survey of SOAP usage:

2.11  synchronous request/response generic XML
2.25  synchronous request/response RPC method calls
2.79  asynchronous message to a queue (single consumer)
3.32  asynchronous message to a topic (multiple subscribers)
5.00  other

Here is a measure of the rankings:
		xml	rpc	queue	topic	other
rank 1	13	15	0	1	0
rank 2	6	3	13	4	0
rank 3	3	0	9	11	0
rank 4	5	8	3	9	0
rank 5	1	2	2	3	6

=== The original survey ===

I'd like to conduct a quick survey of the readers of this list.

Rank the following (1-high, 5-low) in importance with regard to the work you
are doing or plan on doing with SOAP:

[ ] - synchronous request/response generic XML
[ ] - synchronous request/response RPC method calls
[ ] - asynchronous message to a queue (single consumer)
[ ] - asynchronous message to a topic (multiple subscribers)
[ ] - other - describe

PS - try to give each choice a unique number, don't rank all as '1'...
