"Java Web Services Unleashed" explores everything Java developers need for Web service development. Starting with the business considerations and roles of service-related technologies within the Java architecture, the authors then demonstrate applications using the "pillars" of Web service creation: SOAP, UDDI, and WSDL. Next, the book introduces the JAX* pack - a set of Java APIs for XML programming that ease and enhance service development - using real-world examples explaining the importance of each JAX* API. Later chapters include a series of larger case studies of service development using many Java technologies including JSP and EJB.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Obsolete book,
By Prasad Reddy "Prasad" (Sanjose, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Java Web Services Unleashed (Paperback)
Part 1 (6 chapters) - Absolutely a waste of time, not worth a read. And the code examples are not related to JWSDP. Part 2 (6 chapters) - Discusses on SOAP, UDDI and WSDL. The code discusses using a Older version of Apache SOAP and Apache Axis. The code needs a complete rewrite. Part 3 - Discusses on JAXP, JAXB, JAXR, JAXM and JAXRPC. Good introductions but the JAXB chapter is based on DTD (which is obsoleted in the latest specs). JAXM and JAXRPC chapters just reproduces the Sun JWSDP tutorial...not much value addition. Part 4 - Security, WSFL, WSIF (based on IBM Specs) currently these specs are obsolete no further releases. It might've been a good book during 2002. The code and content needs an update to the latest specs and SOAP implementations.

Waste of time and money,
By Patrick Carroll "Winebibber. Java/JEE Develo... (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Java Web Services Unleashed (Paperback)
I bought this, hoping to be able to use it on a web services project I'm doing.
I find it's completely out of date. Both Sun's JWSDP and Apache Axis have moved on since this was written, and you'll get better information from their websites than you'll get from this book. Don't bother with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Good book, especially for JAXM,
By Frank Cohen "-Frank Cohen" (Campbell, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Java Web Services Unleashed (Paperback)
This reminds me of Java 1.1 Unleashed back in 1997 when I was first learning Java. I had no idea how to do anything in Java. I needed a rapid introduction to the new topic and real code examples of how to get things done. In that light Java Web Services Unleashed is a very good book for software developers, qa, and IT managers to read.-Antoine
