4.0 out of 5 stars Good coverage for WebLogic developers, November 28, 2004

By	Bob Withers "bwit" (Plano, Tx USA) - See all my reviews

If you are interested in developing web services on the BEA WebLogic platform, buy this book. It provides and excellent introduction to both web services and the WebLogic development tools. The examples are real world and explained in an understandable manner. The text, however, does not provide deep detailed coverage of web services specifications or implementations so I would not suggest this should be your only book on web services. For in depth web service coverage in a J2EE environment I recommend you combine this book with Richard Monson-Haefel's "J2EE Web Services".

1.0 out of 5 stars Does'nt worth anything, July 9, 2007

By	Prasad Reddy "Prasad" (Sanjose, CA) - See all my reviews

The content is obsolete and it does'nt worth anything now. Reading a BEA Weblogic Developer Guide should be more helpful than this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not useful for what I need, April 18, 2006

By	saltwater - See all my reviews

This is billed as a beginner/intermediate, and practical book.
I would say it's more intermediate.

It reads as sections of theory/definition, with a small example. I liked the first couple chapters, and I think it would be useful for a manager or analyst to get an overview of the terms, but I haven't found the rest to be that useful. It doesn't flow very well, and is hard to retain information.

What does stick out in my memory from the text is that Weblogic and Weblogic Workshop are powerful, natural, and easy...

These are the parts of the book that I found useful, well written, and/or just liked:
Page 41 on Classloader
Chapter 6 on WebServices
Page 249 on Security

(I did development on Weblogic 4.5-6.0, and am returning to Java from C++. I've read the first 80% of the book, and skimmed the last 20%.)
