4.0 out of 5 stars
Good overview of complex product line
The Websphere product line is very complex and this book provides a very good overview of it. The biggest problem with this book (why it is not a 5 star) is that the examples are one version behind the current level. A second edition would with updates to cover the new versions of many of the products would be very good.

I liked the book and would've given it 4 stars except that in trying to learn how to implement the concepts and examples I became frustrated. The authors did a good job with putting the chapters together and presenting the information. The book order example is intruguing but incomplete. No where is there reference or links to download samples. Trying to follow along with the choppy pieces they present is frustrating. IBM Press site is useless so...gentlemen, I must give you a mediocre rating for a technical book due to incomplete/missing examples. Shameful and sloppy!!

Needs more coherent/complete example app(s),
This review is from: WebSphere Business Integration Primer: Process Server, BPEL, SCA, and SOA (The developerWorks Series) (Paperback)
As an introduction for both Websphere Integration Developer and Process Server, and limited to 400 pages, generally good. I guess there's always the links listed in each chapter (and free IBM RedBooks) online for more detail (which I found I needed to clarify some aspects - e.g. relationships).
Mainly, it becomes annoying that it doesn't have a coherent sample app being built through the book - instead, moving between loosely related examples. Also, while there is some code available for download, it's only final solutions for multi-chapter blocks (i.e. not start & end stages for each lab). Perhaps staged lab code is easily fixable on the download site?
