As for messaging vs RPC, I think the same thing applies; it is easier to build an RPC layer on top of messaging than the other way around.
If you have oneway RPC's, why would it be difficult to build messaging on top of that? The two seem to me to be almost the same thing.
Messaging is often built on top of a broadcast or multicast transport, so one does not need to locate or connect to a remote endpoint in order to publish messages. I don't think one-way RPCs are an adequate replacement for publish-subscribe semantics like these if you have a large fanout. -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com
