Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This book is a strategic roadmap for building next generation J2EE Web Services solutions architecture. It provides the reader with the concepts, design approach and implementation guidelines for adapting Web Services technology (e.g., Java, XML, UDDI and SOAP) with extensive real-world examples from the Financial Services industry. The book also includes extensive design and implementation details on adapting various technologies. The author discusses how Web Services technology, mainframe interoperability, services consolidation, wireless technology and XML are used in various business areas. The book also includes a technology overview of different aspects of Web Services. As a result, Lai manages to marry both the business and the technology aspects in one comprehensive guide to Web services. There are break-out sections in At a Glance (summary section at the beginning of each chapter), Analyst's View (tips and hints for technology implementation, risks, pitfalls) and Best Practices (design patterns or best practices from industry experience).

From the Back Cover

Build robust, scalable, end-to-end business solutions with J2EE™ Web Services.

This is the definitive practitioner's guide to building enterprise-class J2EE Web Services that integrate with any B2B application and interoperate with any legacy system. Sun senior architect Ray Lai introduces 25 vendor-independent architectural patterns and best practices for designing Web Services that deliver outstanding performance, scalability, and reliability. Lai takes you to the frontiers of emerging Web Services technologies, showing how to make the most of today's leading-edge tools, from Java Web Services Developer Pack to Apache Axis. Coverage includes:

  • Web Services: making the business case, and overcoming the technical and business challenges
  • Real-life examples and scenarios, and a start-to-finish application case study
  • Expert guidance on reducing risk and avoiding implementation pitfalls
  • Building complete business solutions with rich messaging and workflow collaboration
  • Mainframe interoperability and B2B integration within and beyond the enterprise
  • Framework and methodology to develop your Web Services patterns and best practices
  • Up-to-the-minute coverage of Web Services security
  • New applications: service consolidation, wireless, and more
  • An extensive library of links to Web resources, reference material, and vendors

Whether you're an architect, designer, project leader, or developer, these are the best practices, patterns, and techniques you need to succeed with Web services in your enterprise environment. Enterprises seeking to leverage Web Services to revolutionize the ways they deliver services to customers, partners, and employees will find the answers they need in this book.

"Ray Lai's J2EETM Platform Web Services is a comprehensive look at J2EE platform architecture and should be a must read for any serious Web Services developer." —Larry Tabb, Senior Strategic Advisor, Tower Group

5.0 out of 5 stars A good reference book, December 27, 2003
By L. Mihalkovic (Vancouver/Toronto - CA) - See all my reviews
This is clearly not a how-to book for the programmer tasked with the creation of a simple web service that needs to be up within a couple days. There are no long pages of code reprints or on-liner "Hello-world". No, this book is better seen as a concentrate of experience from people involved in designing large scale enterprise class services. Reading this book is akin to peeking into their notes at the end of the project: business cases, use cases, technology overviews and systems diagrams are the type of material the author has assembled.

The book covers Web Services from the perspective of Sun's architecture, tools and technologies in a vendor neutral fashion. Considering the title, this should not be a surprise for anyone. After a review of the notion of services as well as the enabling technologies (XML, UDDI, SOAP, WSDL, ebXML, Service Registries), the author describes some best practices and reference designs that were successful on some large scale projects mixing services, legacy systems and the internet.

The book will particularly appeal to the managers who want to understand why web services should be on their radar screens, and the architects who will design the solutions. I particularly enjoyed the diagrams which give a very good high level view of the problems at hand, as well as list of references at the end of each section. These are usually a good addition to the book's content for people wanting to dig deeper. Altogether this is the type of book I like, where the author clearly exposes the forces and risks of each proposed solution.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not For Programmers, October 21, 2004
By Gary Murphy (Olathe, KS USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I obtained this book, I would looking for some in the trenches guidence on how to code web services using Apache Axis. The table of contents suggested that this might be an appropriate book for my needs.

I should have read the Amazon reviews first. This is not a programmers guide, but a guide for architects and managers.

This was a huge disappointment for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars No relevance to J2EE or JWSDP - Save your Money, January 25, 2006
If you are Java developer, don't get carried away by this book title. This book has no conceptual relevance to j2ee or jwsdp. The book is also poorly written and the code examples are completely not usable at anyform. I did a big mistake picking this title.
