Your in-depth guide to programming with the Java Web Services Developer Pack

The Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP) gives you all the tools you need to start creating Web services. Packed with lucid explanations and lots of code examples, this valuable guide covers the Web services framework and the open standards that support it, including XML, WSDL, SOAP, and UDDI. Learn to implement these standards using the WSDP, from working with the Java Web services architecture and developing JavaServer Pages and servlets to making the most of JAXP, JAXB, JAX-RPC, JAXR, and the rest of the Java XML toolset.

You'll learn how to:
* Understand the new Web services model
* Get a handle on the Web services technology stack
* Harness XML, WSDL, SOAP, UDDI, and other standards
* Design a Web service using Java architecture
* Integrate JSPs, servlets, and other J2EE APIs into Web services
* Implement Web services using Java's XML APIs
* Work with JAXP, JAXB, JAXM, JAX-RPC, JAXR, and JSTL

The companion Web site includes all of the source code from the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars An Incomplete book - Too basic and obsolete code, December 26, 2002

By 

Craig Anderson "canders" (Sanjose, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Java Web Services Programming (Paperback)

- Chapter 1 and 2 First 50 pages on XML and WS basics ! No programmer's view, abolutely waste of time to read.

- Chapter 3, WSDL does'nt provide practical example, How to generate WSDL and no discussion on elements and tools.

- Chapter 4 SOAP uses Apache SOAP (an older version), the code does'nt run ! Missing discussion SOAP - Document style webservices, SOAP security !

- Chapter 5 UDDI does'nt discuss on a real world example.

- Chapter 6 and 7 talks on JSP and Servlets (Meaningless!!!), J2EE Webservices (MISSING ! How to expose EJB as Webservices) ...Unfortunaltely no examples..on how to expose a J2EE Application as Web services !

- Chapter 8 and 9 discussing JAXP and JAXB....missing Web services context !

- Chapter 10 JAXM absolutely no concrete examples..no distinction between JAXM and SAAJ...no example on using a JAXM provider. And the CODE is obsolete for JWSDP 1.0_01 (JAXM 1.1)

- Chapter 11 JAX-RPC absolutely no concrete examples for different client invocation and missing discussion and examples for Dynamic proxy and DII. Code is obsolete for JWSDP 1.0_01 (JAX-RPC 1.0)

- Chapter 12 JAXR reproduces JWSDP 1.0 provided example. No discussion on ebXML RR usage ! Missing discussion on XIndice !

- Chapter 13 JSTL !!! It is not a core component of Java Web services... It is a tag library for JSP !! Author absolutely misleading readers !

A Waste of Money. Authors misleading the readers at many chapters, Too basic example reproducing JWSDP beta examples... No advanced concepts like security and Interoperability.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goob Book, January 16, 2003

By 

Rob Anderson (Sanjose, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Java Web Services Programming (Paperback)

I bought this book in the hope of learning everything about Web Services. But it looks like their is so much to learn than what meets the eye. This book is very good for intermediate programmers only. Advanced concepts like security are left out.

The explanations in the book is very good. The APIs are not all that old, though some of them have been replaced by newer versions. The examples used is very easy to understand and well explained.

There are few places where i found grammatical mistakes. There are some typos too.

Overall a very good book to practically understand webservices.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, March 18, 2003

By 

Bryan Sanders (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Java Web Services Programming (Paperback)

This book is one of the few books that i have come across that covers the XML structures of the Web-Services so In-depth. Most of the other books starts of directly with the programming aspects. But in this book, there is a very detailed explanation of the SOAP, WSDL and UDDI structures. Such thorough explanation helps any programmer to get a very good understanding on the XML centric architecture of the Web Services framework. The most useful part of the book is the running theory of how web services works.

Also the book does not try to cover too many things at the same time. The simple approach taken by the authors to keep simple things seperate from the more complex APIs provides good advantage to the readers to understand webservices very easily. Probably the authors should come-out with a Volume 2 of the book, which should cover other complex APIs.

All in all a very good reading material....
