This book is so long getting to the point, it really is a pain to read. It has 800+ pages, a lot too many. Verbose and repeating itself, just frustrating.

I didn't like this book, but that doesn't mean it's a bad book. I had to write my first web service using Axis and the word "Axis" isn't even in the index. This book might be a good overall book for Java web services, but it's so full of information, I didn't know for sure which chapters applied to what I needed to do for my first web service, and I'm a 19 year veterin of code development. I have resold this book and plan to find another one on Java Web Services.

Hi, I( masters in computer science with 7 yrs of experience on j2ee ) really enjoyed reading the book, though I am new to web services. As the book discussed with finance related terminologies and examples it helped me very much as I develop banking applns in j2ee. An excellent convincing explanation was given for allmost all the topics even considering the new guys to web services. Architects and programmers can read this book for a convincing explanation of the technology. all the best...

I am involved in a project to determine the best practices for integrating web services into our applications. We purchased a handful of recommended books on the topic including this one. I have to say that I am disappointed in this book.



First off there is little coverage of web services from an architecture point of view. There are some decent chapters that introduce the concepts of web services and SOA and then the authors jump directly into reference mode on the dozen or so technologies that they think you must master to develop web services.



Maybe it is just a failure of the J2EE process, but this book does little to address the confusion and complexity involved with developing web services in Java. In fact this book just adds to the problem. Developers should not need to know all the details of SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, and all the JAX APIs in order to develop web services. For the most part, all this plumbing technology should be hidden from developers yet it is the focus of this book.

This book disappointed me with belated material and using older java implementations. The content and examples needs lot of updates and confusing the readers. The book suggested website www.webservicesarchitecture.com is not working at all. I find no response from the publisher and author as well.
