So far there has been a tremendous response to the survey, the number of responses adds up to about 9% of the user list subscribers which is a great turnout IMHO. There are still a few replies coming in each day so I think we should keep it open till early next week, I'll post a reminder to the user list and say that so people know the time is running out.
In the meantime here is a snapshpot of what the results look like today. Over 80% of users are already using the 1.3.x code. 41% of uses are actively developing applications using Tuscany so in the near future we'll have a lot of users going into production. A lot (65%) use the Tuscany webapp integration. Looking at all the the percentages and text comments and who said they use what together there seems to be a significantly large core of users who use Tuscany in a JEE/webapp environment using implementation.java and/or implementation.spring with binding.ws and binding.jsonrpc. There's been a lot of good feedback in the freeform text boxes. Around 10% ask for things like Hibernate or JPA support, also Flex support, others for things like dynamic discovery and management tools. Lots of people comment on the documentation, samples and tutorials, of those commenting about 70% say these need improving. I guess thats common for open source projects, its good we've mentioned this as one of the themes for 2.0. Here's the actual results so far: Which releases of Apache Tuscany do you use? - 1.2 12%, 1.2.1 6%, 1.3 9%, 1.3.1 12%, 1.3.2 61% In what stage of development are you in? -Prototyping 51%, Development 41%, Production 8% What runtime platforms do you use? - Tomcat 42%, JBoss 8%, Vendor specific (WebSphere, Weblogic, etc) 15%, Tuscany Standalone 35% Which technologies do you use in your solution? - JEE 23%, Spring 18%, J2SE 24%, Scripting languages 4%, Non-Java languages (e.g. C, C++, etc.)1%, OSGi 10%, BPEL 9%, ESB 6% Which SCA binding types do you use? - ATOM 4%, DWR 1%, EJB 7%, Feed 1%, HTTP 14%, JMS 15%, JSONRPC 17%, RMI 10%, RSS 1%, WebServices 30% Which SCA implementation types do you use? - Java 45%, BPEL 11%, EJB 5%, OSGi 11%, Resource 2%, Script 3%, Spring 19%, Widget 3%, XQuery 2% How would you rate ease of installation and use? - Very Good 3%, Good 39%, Fair 45%, Poor 13% A lot of replies in the free form text boxes, waiting till the survey is closed to show these. ...ant
