Book Description

Series: Deitel Developer | Publication Date: August 19, 2002

Now, there's a complete introduction to Web Services specifically for working Java developers. Harvey and Paul Deitel, whose best-selling textbooks have trained millions of programmers, combine expert insights into the Web Services paradigm with powerful programming techniques for building robust, high-value services. Using their unique Live-CodeaA A TM approach, the Deitels present every new programming concept in the context of a complete, working example. The Deitels begin by clearly explaining what Web Services are, and how they've evolved to solve problems that can't easily be addressed with traditional distributed technologies, and introduce the key technologies and standards that make Web Services viable. They show how Web Services fit into the J2EE platform, introducing tools from Sun, Oracle, IBM, and HP, and demonstrating how J2EE infrastructure can support Web Services publishing, consumption, and security. They cover the fundamentals of XML programming for Web Services, including XML schemas, DOM, and XSLT; then show how to create and deploy Web Services with SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI.The book contains a full chapter on ebXML, another on Web Services security, and complete introductions to Sun's powerful new APIs for working with XML, including JAX-RPC, JAXR, and JAXM. The Deitels conclude with an insightful explanation of the Sun ONE platform, and a preview of emerging Web Services technologies -- and their implications. There's no faster way for experienced Java programmers to master Web Services development!

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolute collection of random topics! One word - Horrible, October 31, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Java Web Services For Experienced Programmers (Deitel Developer) (Paperback)

This book has a random collection of topics. I cannot believe a publisher actually published it. It discusses DTDs and XSLTs in great detail while completely ignoring XML Schemas and SOAP basics. I absolutely decided to return the book when I found a section discussing viruses - specifically the ILOVEYOU virus. If Amazon provided a way to give this a negative rating, I would gladly do so.

This book is intended for experienced programmers. I take pleasure in reading this book. This book starts with an overview of the technologies presented in Java Web Service, and provides detailed description about XML, DTD, XSLT and DOM the key enabling technologies for web services. Then it describes the building blocks of Web Services SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. Besides it also covers all the Java XML API's for the Web Services development. The case studies and the 103 Live-code programs elucidate all the details about the Java Web Services. This book also explores all the security issues such as Basic security issues, SSL, XML Signature, XML Encryption, XKMS, SAML, XACML and WS-Security in a comprehensive manner.

"Outstanding Book with comprehensive coverage of Java Web Services".

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is not real world, May 30, 2003

By 

Jennifer Hampton (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Java Web Services For Experienced Programmers (Deitel Developer) (Paperback)

This book does not have any real-world examples. The specifications mentioned in this book are also dated. The content in this book is a little dated. For a current book on Web Services check out Java Web Services Architecture published by Morgan Kaufman.
