Comprehensive Java Web Services guide from industry insiders!

From the Inside Flap

Java Web Services Architecture is for Web services professionals seeking to understand enterprise architecture, Web services design, and application integration. This book begins with an overview of Web services, their usage, and design, followed by an in-depth look at the necessary standards and technologies (SOAP, EbXML, UDDI, WSDL). This leads into a detailed explanation all of the JAX APIs that are the foundation of Web services within Java, as well as their practical applications. The final section covers numerous advanced topics, including security. While various implementations are exemplified in a running case study, the book remains vendor neutral.

2.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete book, July 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Java Web Services Architecture (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems) (Paperback)

it might be a good beginner's book for understanding the basics of web services. When you start dealing with realworld web services architecture situations, all you get from this book is just how to make a simple hello-world JAXRPC, JAXM example working -- beyond that i had no more use of the book. The chapters on SOA, transactions, practical considerations, security are nothing but theoretical junk with no example proof. After browsing all the pages, I don't find anything which show how to build a working java Web services architecture. The word architecture is abused and does'nt make sense for this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not much better than free online docs, October 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Java Web Services Architecture (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems) (Paperback)

This book isn't much better than freely available online documents on the same subjects. The book suffers from the usual problems of a book with so many authors--the material overlaps and doesn't present a single cohesive perspective.

This review is from: Java Web Services Architecture (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems) (Paperback)

This book is not at all practical. It has over explained individual topics to the extent that it is even confusing. It is the last book to be used for quick reference. Contents are of absolutely of no practical value. Go elsewhere if you want to learn to apply webservices. This book is quite useless to me and I am a very experienced J2EE architect.
