Book Description
Large IT organizations increasingly face the challenge of integrating various web services, applications, and other technologies into a single network. The solution to finding a meaningful large-scale architecture that is capable of spanning a global enterprise appears to have been met in ESB, or Enterprise Service Bus. Rather than conform to the hub-and-spoke architecture of traditional enterprise application integration products, ESB provides a highly distributed approach to integration, with unique capabilities that allow individual departments or business units to build out their integration projects in incremental, digestible chunks, maintaining their own local control and autonomy, while still being able to connect together each integration project into a larger, more global integration fabric, or grid. Enterprise Service Bus offers a thorough introduction and overview for systems architects, system integrators, technical project leads, and CTO/CIO level managers who need to understand, assess, and evaluate this new approach. Written by Dave Chappell, one of the best known and authoritative voices in the field of enterprise middleware and standards-based integration, the book drills down into the technical details of the major components of ESB, showing how it can utilize an event-driven SOA to bring a variety of enterprise applications and services built on J2EE, .NET, C/C++, and other legacy environments into the reach of the everyday IT professional. With Enterprise Service Bus, readers become well versed in the problems faced by IT organizations today, gaining an understanding of how current technology deficiencies impact business issues. Through the study of real-world use cases and integration patterns drawn from several industries using ESB--including Telcos, financial services, retail, B2B exchanges, energy, manufacturing, and more--the book clearly and coherently outlines the benefits of moving toward this integration strategy. The book also compares ESB to other integration architectures, contrasting their inherent strengths and limitations. If you are charged with understanding, assessing, or implementing an integration architecture, Enterprise Service Bus will provide the straightforward information you need to draw your conclusions about this important disruptive technology.

ESB/SOA Highlevel Theory in Practice & Practical Examples.......2007-09-26
This book, which was published in 2004, still remains as one of the best books in my personal collection of Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), SOA and related books.
The author does a good job of introducing a new computer architecture paradigm! And this is to think of software like hardware. Like hardware, have components that are plug-and-play into a standard bus. Standard interfaces, standard input/output, etc.
I found the first three chapters as extremely useful for an overall view. Then I recommend skipping to the fold out to study symbols and icons. Then, I studied chapter 9 which is about ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) as an example that tries to help us understand the essence of ESB. I also spent time on understanding, chapters 10, 11, and 12 which give a good understanding of the Components, Integration, and Web Services. Other chapters in between, for example EAI, MOM, JMS and XML should be looked at more like the "Old paradigm". But if you are focused on ESB/SOA above chapters will give you an excellent overall architecture picture, and, a good taste of what it takes, and what different terms mean.
I also think that the author has done a good job of explaining things whith what was available then. This is an evolving and maturing technology even now.
I also tried to understand these concepts as they related to BEA WebLogic 9.2 and/or IBM WebSphere to bring more practical parallel understanding. This did help.
Gives a high level overview of ESB .......2007-08-01
I wanted a book that gave me an clear understanding of what an ESB is, and this book did exactly that. While the figures were illustrative, I felt that more reading material could have been added. The two chapters that were useful were Chapters 1 and 11.
But like I said in my first sentence, it gave me an high level understanding of an ESB.
Too much fluff, no substance.......2007-03-05
I found this book to provide a good introduction in the first chapter, but it was extremely wordy in describing SOA and ESB principles. The definitions were polluted with buzzwords and sales jargon to the point of being painful. It's "marketecture."
A book that provides a concise and clear definition of SOA principles is "Enterprise SOA: Service-Oriented Architecture Best Practices" by Dirk Krafzig, Karl Banke, Dirk Slama. While better than Enterprise Service Bus, this book also does not entirely meet the needs of a computer professional embarking on a large Enterprise software project.
I still have not found a book that provides the necessary guidance with regard to architectural principles, architectural styles, communicating an architecture effectively and evaluating/analyzing existing architectures.
Some interesting insights, but a bit too high-level for me.......2007-02-12
The book provides some interesting insights into emerging technologies, but overall is too high-level and, in the end, pretty vague on the ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) architecture. The basic idea is that you should use asynchronous messaging in XML and leave all routing/aggregation/security/transformations to a special integration layer called ESB, like a product produced by author's company. This would give you more integration by configuration rather than coding, the argument goes. Author described how a lot of recent XML standards are going toward or adding async model. All in all, ESB seems to be pretty much Message Oriented Middleware (MOM), but with (somewhat inconsistent) emphasis on open on-the-wire protocol. I wish this was distilled in a sentence upfront.
So far so good. But what on-the-wire messaging protocol should we use? It appears the author is saying anything and all goes - just maybe add XML. This is where it starts being vague as if for fear to upset anybody. So, is ESB basically about just putting any XML on the wire? Not all XML is the same (just as binary content was not), and author in fact points out competing standards on XML messaging. There are a lot of decisions on top of "let's just use XML" on which the author leaves you to your own devices. He just covers all upcoming XML standards from A..Z in a few sentences each. It is the sort of "XML will save the world regardless of how it is used" approach that worries me.
At the same time, a lot of space is dedicated to JMS. The author tentatively explains that JMS is not really suitable for ESB because it does not provide an open on-the-wire protocol - only standard APIs. I am glad he covered this because this is a wide misconception. But then why JMS presented as one of nice re-usable building blocks for ESB? I think he is saying because it provides comprehensive framework for messaging. Ok. But proprietary on-the-wire format means it is not really suitable for ESB unless you find a product that uses XML transport under JMS API. The author does not explain this nor discuss how standard is that JMS-API-to-wire bridge today, so the whole JMS tie-in with ESB's supposedly open architecture was not clear to me.
As a practitioner, I also wish there were a bit more insights into how redundancy and errors are to be handled in this architecture. Also, how transactional semantics are handled end-to-end in such environment. The examples with reliable messaging are too simplistic and abstract to cover the real challenges involved. All of this may hide the extra complexity and overhead actually pushed on application with asynchronous and highly loosely coupled ESB design. Maybe the trade-offs would still favor it, but a bit more points of analysis would help to enlighten the reader.
It is interesting that the author takes on application servers and argues that they are not good for ESB infrastructure (unlike for source applications themselves). I appreciate that the author is not afraid to go against the grain if it makes for a good technical choice (same could be applied to JMS), but I wish the arguments were a bit clearer and specific. For example, the author claims that app server is not suitable for loosely coupled component deployment. I wish he explained why because obviously JEE proponents may be curious.
In the end, this book is more of an overview of Sonic ESB product deployment architecture, rather than necessarily an IT architecture. Be aware of that, but do read the book for yet another perspective. I found the book pretty easy to read - only took me an hour.
Ultimate ESB book.......2005-10-03
Frankly, I feel that some reviewers misunderstand the purpose of this book. In my opinion, for a SOA focussed professional who needs to know the role of SOA, this book is a gem! Any of us who have had the challenge of explaining messaging technology should be grateful about reading this book.
As technologists, we forget just how much intimidating jargon we use and how many underlying assumptions we make when we explain things. As a software architect once said to me, "if I had more time, I'd make it simple." Clearly Mr.Chappell has taken on the challenge of making it simple and made it in such a way even an idiot can understand, and such efforts are incredibly valuable.

The best webservice book.......2007-07-22
I got everything i need in this book. This is very helpful for the sun exam also....in one word, this is the bible of webservice.
Simply Suberb Book.......2007-07-04
Perfect book for a beginer. The book starts from basics to leads complex points in a balanced manner.
starts fom the Basics...good guide for beginners.......2007-05-13
just started reading it.easy to read ,has a good flow,clear explanation.i think it will be a good resource for my current web services project and if i take the certification exam too.
The web services bible........2007-05-12
Monson-Haefel has written the book to own if you are developing web services. Even though the book is a few years old, you still need to get this book. If you go around my company and my previous company, all J2EE developers have this one sitting on their desk.
Do a Google search and read Monson-Haefel's blog. You will get some insight on his thoughts during and after writing the book and you will find that he will not be doing a revision.
That's a complete shame but I don't blame him. It would be nice to get a new revision on all of the new stuff that has come along like annotations, JAX-WS, etc.
Excellent book for a developer/practitioner.......2007-04-20
This book is very useful for developers/architects who are writing system software or application software dealing with web services.
If you are just going to write some web service client code to access some web service or planning to deploy simple web services, then this book will not be very useful.
There is good coverage of XML Schema, UDDI, JAXR and WS-I Basic Profile wherever relevant. The J2EE 1.4 model web services are explained in decent detail. Some extra examples would have been better. Of course the number of pages would have increased then.
To be an architect/developer/practitioner of web services related technologies, you need to have a sound knowledge of the theory behind the specifications. You can always look up online tutorials etc for sample code. This book will provide you the theory behind web services.

Best Java Security Book for J2EE and Web Services........2007-09-23
This is a great book - by far the best security design book for Java and J2EE (including Java SE 6 and Java EE 5) I have read to date. When I first heard about my coworkers talking about this book, I thought "oh great, another J2EE book!" Much to my surprise, this book is not just a how-to security API or patterns recipe book but much more than that - I see it as a collection of valuable suggestions and examples on how to choose security mechanisms and use them in J2EE applications and web services. Moreover, it tells you what the bestpractices, pitfalls and tradeoffs are for each design pattern option you take. Particularly, You will find this book as an ideal companion for CORE J2EE PATTERNS - Deepak Alur et al, which is my favorite for designing J2EE applications.
This book is as close to size of a pillow and I do understand why the authors gave only code snippets for selected examples instead of full implementation. The case study is just right, it discusses the scenario and how to incorporate the patterns right in to the application design..which is just right for a Java developer who is involved with Java enterprise applications and web services. The best practices and security checklist detailed in this book - helps a lot during development and when you want to deploy a J2EE application/web service in production.
Having said that, I prefer this book as a must-have for any serious Java developer/designer/architect who wants to build Security from understanding basics of WHAT and know WHY you should architect your J2EE system in a particular way using best practices (a long list) and not just HOW. Ultimately you will find this book as an onestop reference for building security in J2EE applications and web services.
Java security made easy. Excellent title worth investing on........2007-09-18
If you ever want to understand about security and its role in the development of J2EE enterprise-level applications, then you should consider buying this book from your local bookstore.
The authors have done an excellent job in explaining the basics of security as it applies to the most common business practices, as well as deliver intricate details on the inner workings of the Java platform security architecture. Even though this book covers in its majority Java technologies, you don't have to be a Java developer or architect to appreciate it.
The book is divided in 7 major parts:
Part 1: Introduction and Basics of Security
Part 2: Java Security Architecture and Technologies
Part 3: Web Services Security and Identity Management
Part 4: Security Design Methodology, Patterns, and Reality Checks
Part 5: Design Strategies and Best Practices
Part 6: Putting it all together
Part 7: Personal Identification using Smart Cards and Biometrics
Parts 1-5 provide reams of detail about the fundamentals of security, the J2EE security architecture, and the technologies used to enable Web services security. In addition, there is a comprehensive explanation of patterns and practices for J2EE developers, as well as design strategies and best practices for securing J2EE Web components and web-based applications.
Web developers might want to pay special attention to Part 3 of the book because it gives an insight on fortifying Web services, authenticating and authorizing end users, and applying the latest cryptographic techniques. XML is described in detail as the encoding for messages between parties using a Web Service.
Note that this book does not explain the specific JAVA APIs needed for basic J2EE application development. Twenty-three proven security architectural patterns are discussed and presented through several realistic scenarios, covering architecture and implementation and presenting detailed sample code.
Part 6 of the book describes how to use this newly acquired knowledge in the implementation of real-world security scenarios.
Finally, we found the last part of this book as the most intriguing. It provides an in-depth coverage on Personal Identification using Smart Cards and Biometrics, their role in physical and logical access control, and the different technologies used in their implementation. Best practices and common pitfalls that might arise when implementing security using smart cards and biometrics are also discussed.
Overall we believe this is excellent book for the security enthusiast who wants to build robust end-to-end security into J2EE enterprise applications.
Excellenet book for Java Security architects.......2007-07-22
Like any Sun core book, this "reference" manual is cut above the rest. Personally I use it more as a reference manual helping me to understand and design security requirements for a project.
The reference book of the java security.......2007-07-19
A fantastic book that each java developer should have. Today, the security is becoming a real requirement of each java based enterprise application, and this book, in my opinion, represents the best reference. It is a very exhaustive and complete book for both beginner and advanced levels.
I don't think this is an awesome book.......2007-05-09
I am amazed by the 5 star ratings everybody has given this book! And I have implemented several enterprise level security implementations/integrations supporting hundres of thousands of users.
In my opinion, this book is really feeding the buzzwords frenzy of security domain. It certainly "talks the talk", but can it "walk the talk"?
I can think of numerous glaring examples where the book falls short. To name a few:
- Smart Cards (lots of power point and management level sales fluff here)
- JAAS (I have seen it being described much better in fewer words)
- SAML (huh?)
I think the book does a below average job of providing practical information. Even the content does not flow very smoothly and coherently.
Average customer rating:
- Good Web services book for a J2EE person
- Developers are also in a certain way architects, so read it
- Great book for the right reader.
- Straightforward architectural overview of Java Web Services
- A good architectural approach to Java web services...

Good Web services book for a J2EE person.......2006-09-18
his book is primarily geared towards reader familiar withthe J2EE architecture. Code samples are few and far between, and the illustrations are primarily UML. That's cool. For a book from Sun J2EE team, I would like to see a little more code examples (thus the four stars instead of five.)
The book starts with XML basics, then spends the largest portion of the book on SOAP and JAX-RPC, then finishes off with an excellent chapter on security issues. There is some mention of mobile, but detailed enough.
I do suggest this book as a good reading for budding Java architects who want to learn more about this topic.
Developers are also in a certain way architects, so read it.......2005-09-12
As the title of my review says this book is intended for all the people who want to architect and develop web services in a proper way. The technology around Web Services is very splitted. I mean from a lot of separate web associations. When you want to master web services technology you have to know in detail XML, XML Schema, SOAP, UDDI and its support in J2EE.
This book gives architectual overview how these technologies depend on each other, I mean the relationships.
The book is not intended for getting detail information about source code implementation. Anyway, it is from the SUN Blueprint program team. So everybody developing and architecturing web services with J2EE technology should read this book. It is a very dry book. Very talkative. I am glad I have already read it.
Great book for the right reader........2004-11-03
This book provides a very good, well ordered, high-level overview of architectural decisions in a Web Services application. If you have knowledge of J2EE technologies, and want an intro to the Web Services paradigm, this is a good book.
This is not a programmer's reference nor an introduction to J2EE technology.
The book is disciplined in maintaining a high-level overview; most code snippets are purposely contracted to show only the relevant features being discussed. This keeps the code snippets focused, but means that if you are looking for a sample SOAP document that does X, you'll need to look elsewhere.
I liked the organization of the book. Rather than organizing the book around an annotated sample application, the authors
take a more didactic approach; Chapter 1 gives an intro to Web Services, Chapter 2 reviews the alphabet soup of J2EE development and shows how various components either use the technologies or are connected by them.
The next five chapters each take one component of the Web Services domain and review in detail the architectural
decisions to be made in designing that component. In the chapter on Service Endpoint Design, for example, the authors review
two approaches to designing a service interface definition; should you first design a Web Services Definition Language or
should you first design the Java Interfaces? The Chapter on XML reviews the pros and cons of various XML parsers and the use of XML transformations for services which must interact with numerous systems. There are similar chapters reviewing Client design, Integration with the J2EE platform, and Security.
In the last chapter, the authors review their reference application and walk through their decisions.
Throughout, the authors give good advice on the judicious use of various technologies, use of Design Patterns, and designs that will give good, reusable code. The authors several times discuss patterns that will make the application simpler to understand and build upon.
All in all, this is a well written treatment that I highly recommend.
Straightforward architectural overview of Java Web Services.......2004-10-14
This book is primarily geared towards reader at the architectural end of the spectrum. Code samples are few and far between, and the illustrations are primarily UML. That's not a bad thing, it's just a matter of what you are looking for. Though even for an architecture work I would like to see a little more code (thus the four stars instead of five.)
The book starts with XML basics, then spends the largest portion of the book on SOAP and JAX-RPC, then finishes off with an excellent chapter on security issues. There is some mention of mobile, but nothing in depth.
I recommend this book to Java architects who want to learn more about this topic. Front line engineers will probably want to concentrate on API centric books on Java Web Services, most likely from O'Reilly.
A good architectural approach to Java web services..........2004-09-26
If you're looking for a good architectural treatment of web services in Java, you'll want to look at Designing Web Services with the J2EE 1.4 Platform - JAX-RPC, SOAP, and XML Technologies by Inderjeet Singh, Sean Brydon, Greg Murray, Vijay Ramachandran, Thierry Violleau, and Beth Stearns (Addison Wesley).
Chapter list: Introduction; Standards and Technologies; Service Endpoint Design, XML Processing; Client Design; Enterprise Application Integration; Security; Application Architecture and Design; Glossary; Index
As with most books put out by Sun, this is an authoritative guide. The quality of the material is high, and you are getting it "straight from the source", as they tout their books. While they cover the subject well, it's not the type of book that the hard-code developer geek would want. It seems to target more of the system architect position... the person who would be responsible for designing the overall approach to a system and specifying the technologies to be used. There is some code, but not much. It's also not a tutorial approach, either. But when you get done, you should have an excellent understanding of how web service architectures are designed using Java and technologies supported by Sun.

Book needs a revision........2006-01-26
This book is similiar to sun java security tutorial with little additions specific to weblogic 7.0 and apache axis 1.0. The code examples don't run on j2ee 1.4 platform. The book also needs a new edition with revised examples to include newer security mechanisms with j2se 1.5. Except for chapter 1 - A Security primer, all other chapters are technically obsolete.
If you wish to pick a good alternative book, choose Core Security Patterns by Chris Steel et all - that is the best book I have seen for Java security.
Its greatest strength is also its greatest weakness.......2005-10-02
Pankaj Kumar definitely deserves an "A for effort". As in other material of his I've read he makes security concepts accessible and easy to understand.
Kumar created an impressive array of tools and example code which are available at a URL provided in the preface. The problem is that when you consult his book hoping to find Java code to accomplish a specific task you often find instead a description of how to use his JSTK (Java Security Tool Kit) to accomplish the task. For some readers this may be okay but for anyone who wants to learn how to write their own Java code it just adds an awkward extra layer of indirection.
Aside from that significant concern I would definitely recommend this book for software developers seeking to learn more about J2EE security.
A little bit of everything.......2004-05-01
The title is, definitely, misleading: it does not cover the subject of J2EE security. One cannot build a secure application with this book! There are lots of great books on the Standard Edition security, and there is no need to go over it again, particularly when J2EE presents so many new issues and problems one needs to take care in order to build a commercial application. Otherwise the book is easy to read and understand.
Excellent and comprehensive book on J2EE security.......2004-03-22
This is one the best books that I have ever read. The writing is very lucid and the author explains concepts in very clear and easy to understand manner. The utility tools are very, very useful. I have have been using them on a regular basis. The book also has good code snippets, diagrams and screen shots where necessary. But no space filling techniques ever.
The coverage of topics is very good. Security, cannot have one sided view. The author did a good job of pulling together all aspects of securing a Java application (from code access security and class loading to cryptography to securing components to securing webservices) - he covers the whole gamut without getting lost.
Ever since I bought this book, I have been carrying to work everyday. I buy LOT OF computer books, but rarely do I fall in love so much with them. I would put it on the same level as UML Distilled, J2EE Patterns and Bruce Eckel's Java. If you are doing Java Security, this is the one and only book you will ever read. To me, it has been inevitable.
I sincerely thank the author and the publishers for not making this another 1200+ page book. This is about 400+ pages and doesn't put you off with its weight!
Excellent primer on security!.......2004-01-09
This book is an excellent compilation of security concepts explained in simple terms and with lots of well illustrative example code. Kumar has even provided benchmarking code to help developer choose appropriate technology for their own applications. Great book to have for security developers and students!

Referencing similarities with existing, familiar systems.......2003-02-10
Peer-to-peer (P2P) has progressed from a curiosity to a serious opportunity for businesses to move beyond the costs and limitations of traditional client-server based computing. With a choice of several new, maturing technologies, Java developers need a single source to explain the benefits of each technology and help them see how to fit the P2P "pieces" together - both in building new systems and integrating with existing ones. Java P2P Unleashed: With JXTA, Web Services, XML, Jini, JavaSpaces, and J2EE starts with a discussion of the P2P architecture, referencing similarities with existing, familiar systems while previewing several types of P2P applications. Java P2P Unleashed explains how to plan ahead for security, routing, performance and other issues when developing a P2P application. Each Java P2P technology is approached from a P2P perspective, focusing on implementation concerns Java developers will face while using them. The last section includes several large-scale examples of different P2P applications - managing content, building communities, integrating services, routing messages, and using intelligent agents to gather information. The final chapter looks ahead to future developments in Java P2P technologies, including the use of J2ME. Java P2P Unleashed is confidently recommended for Intermediate to Advanced level users. 752 pages.
One-stop shop.......2002-10-24
This book's title is a bit misleading, as it covers a lot more than P2P. In addition to JXTA, it also has chapters on Jini, and several chapters on Web services. Some of the chapters are better than others; the chapters on JXTA are especially informative. Because the book has many authors, some of the information is repeated, but that does not detract from the book's overall high quality.
too wordy.......2002-10-15
this book has too much redundant info and lacks coherence. try the jxta in a nutshell instead; to the point, simple and clear.

Does'nt worth anything.......2007-07-10
The content is obsolete and it does'nt worth anything now. Reading a BEA Weblogic Developer Guide should be more helpful than this book.
Not useful for what I need.......2006-04-18
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%.)
EXCELLENT WEB SERVICES BOOK!!!!.......2004-12-07
This book is excellent for those developers and even architects looking to implement real-world web services. It gives a solid overview of web service technologies while also showing how the BEA platform can aid you in bringing those services to fruition. There is not an area that is left untouched. Finally a book that is gorunded in production services and experiences.
Good coverage for WebLogic developers.......2004-11-28
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".
Average customer rating:
- a good reference book.
- Good book if you've already been introduced to web services.
- Good reference book
- Very good book
- Good for a "nutshell" book but incomplete.

Book Description
Java Web Services in a Nutshell is a high-speed tutorial and a quick reference for the technologies that Sun Microsystems is creating for implementing web services with Java. This book is a succinct introduction and handy reference to the Java/XML APIs, more commonly known as the JWSDP or "Java Web Services Development Pack." These APIs are taking the Java world by storm, as they are capable of handling everything from simple XML to SOAP to full ebXML vocabularies. Although "web services" technology has suffered from much hype and overly grand expectations, there is plenty of solid development going on, especially in extending enterprise applications, and a huge amount of this development is being done in Java. As a result, the J2EE APIs for web services are evolving rapidly, and this new "in a Nutshell" book covers them all in depth. One of the most important APIs in the JWSDP is JAX-RPC (Java API for XML-based RPC). It's also the API that developers most consistently post questions about. Java Web Services in a Nutshell covers all aspects of JAX-RPC in detail, with tutorial coverage alone exceeding 150 pages. This book offers developers everything they need to program with JAX-RPC. Java Web Services in a Nutshell begins with an introduction to Java web services, including a discussion of how they differ from web applications. The author looks at the protocols and interfaces that underpin web services, the J2EE technologies that address web services, WSDL as the means for describe web services, and more. Subsequent chapters cover:
- JAX-RPC
- SOAP and the SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ)
- Reliable SOAP messaging with JAXM
- WSDL
- Advanced JAX-RPC
- JAXR, the XML-based registry API
- Web Services Tools
The balance of the book is made up of an API Quick Reference containing documentation for the various API packages. Intended for Java developers who need to implement Java services or who need their applications to access existing web services, Java Web Services in a Nutshell delivers practical information to help developers make sense of the rapidly changing and poorly organized official documentation. If web services and Enterprise Java are any part of your job description -- of if you'd like them to be -- you'll want this book close beside as you work.

a good reference book........2007-01-17
A good reference book for Java Web Services. It had most of what I was looking for. Lacked depth and samples but the nutshell series was always meant to be more a reference than a tutorial.
Good book if you've already been introduced to web services........2004-01-08
If you start reading about web services developed in Java, you'll quickly find that there are a number of Java technologies that come into play. These include SOAP, UDDI, WSDL, and others. Since you'll need to know about all of them to effectively develop your services, you'll need a book that covers those areas in detail. One of your choices would include Java Web Services In A Nutshell.
Like all Nutshell books, this is not an entry-level tutorial on the subject. It assumes preexisting knowledge so that less time is spent on the basics and more space can be devoted to the more complex intricacies of the technology. If the chaptersin the table of contents do not sound familiar, you're most likely not ready for this book. And yes, I would also include myself in that group...
The first 2/3's of the book cover the different web services packages, both conceptually and in practice with examples. You should be able to use the examples to jumpstart your own development efforts. The last 1/3 of the book is the traditional documentation of the package API information. As with most Nutshell books, this will be the area that quickly becomes worn and dog-earred.
Conclusion
If you are past the "What are web services?" stage, this book will be of value to you. If you are still trying to figure out what all the hype is about, I would recommend a more entry-level book like Java Web Services by O'Reilly.
Good reference book.......2003-12-08
Like the other Nutshell books in O'Reilly's series, this too is designed to provide the most valuable information in the least space possible. Some people criticize the Nutshell series over this issue, but it is really the strong point of this book-it is designed to be used as a desktop reference. I have always liked the Nutshell book, and this one is no exception.
Again, this book isn't designed to be a how-to, and O'Reilly doesn't claim it as such. It's designed as a desktop reference, which is really where this book shines. Java web service developers will find this a valuable addition to their library.
Very good book.......2003-11-18
This book is a very good book to start with web service. The explanation and examples provide most of needs to start with a web service project. It has sufficient details to use Sun tools. Readers can easily found most of their interests on this topic. The major drawback is the short of coverage on implementations of weblogic or websphere, which are of interests of most programmers. This is excellent book for starters or mid-level developers
Good for a "nutshell" book but incomplete........2003-10-26
I found this book gave a good overview of JAX-RPC and JWSDK
features. But this book is very specific to the Sun JWSDK
implementation. There is nothing on Apache AXIS or differences
between implementations. The biggest deficiency for me was that
there is nothing at all on DIME and it only dicusses the
non-standard Sun JWSDK SOAP with MIME attachments API without
mentioning any alternatives.

Getting Started with J2EE.......2003-01-10
This is a well presented walk through the world of J2EE design and programming for the novice to intermediate Java user. Yawn presents a simple application that is expanded in each chapter as new concepts are introduced. All of the examples are provided on an enclosed and it helped to be able to run them in parallel while trying to understand the material in the various chapters. I highly recommend it.

Book Description
Emerging Technology Strategies and the Great Global Grid
The next generation of the Internet will produce dramatic economic and social changes exceeding even the World Wide Web. Several emerging technologies are converging to create a Great Global Grid infrastructure where universal connectivity to large computing resources will be available for consumers and enterprises. The goal of this book is to provide a systematic survey of the full spectrum of Great Global Grid technologies from an enterprise viewpoint.
The Great Global Grid - The range of technologies comprising the Great Global Grid is very wide. One of the main contributions of the book is to categorize these technologies in detail and to explain the dependencies among them. The technologies include:
* Application Servers and Portals
* Enterprise Application Integration and B2B Middleware
* Web Services and XML Messaging
* Peer-to-Peer Collaboration
* Pervasive Computing: Middleware and Software Platforms
* Distributed Resource Managers, Clusters and Grids
* Global Grid Middleware
* Conclusions for the Future
Emerging Technology Strategies - The book does not hype these technologies or their benefits. Section 1 of the book describes examples of past emerging technologies that failed to realize their initial vision. Based on the lessons learned from these experiences, a pragmatic technology evaluation template is created that includes:
* Overview of the technology
* Relationships to other technologies
* Important technical and business trends
* Specific applications
* Industry and official standards
* Vendor overview by application area
* Leading implementation approaches
* Advice on deployment
* Future technical and business directions
* Recommendations
Audience - The information collected in this book is not available from any other single source. The broad range of technologies, standards and vendors covered is necessary to understand the future enterprise applications of the Internet. The following groups should find the contents of this book especially valuable.
* Decision makers for the evaluation strategy and discussions of current products, standards and open issues
* Developers and architects for the overview of many advanced software technologies and their relationships
* Consultants for the industry analysis of vendors and business applications
* Futurists for the trends and research that are the basis of the next generation Internet
* Students for the industrial applications and open source projects
