Abstract |
This book gives you clear idea about the building blocks of real
time Web services (XML, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI) and the other
technologies which provide support for transactions, security
and authentication, mobile and wireless, quality-of-services,
conversations, work flow
portals, management and architectural patterns for
building enterprise Web services. |

2. Advanced Web services technologies and standards.
3. Putting It All Together-Building Real world enterprise Web
services and applications.
To Whom:
This book is an ideal choice to an architect, project leader, or
manager, who wants to know about the underpinning of Web services,
and the advanced concepts such as conversations, work flow,
transactions, QOS and security, which are needed in real-world
enterprise Web services development.
Book Review:
The first part of the book covers the baseline specifications (XML,
SOAP, WSDL and UDDI) that offer the foundation for application
integration and aggregation. Even though many Web services books
already cover these portions a lot, these chapters help you to get a
basic idea over baseline specifications.
The second portion of the book covers the advanced technologies such
as
security, mobility, transactions, QoS, workflow, portals and
management which are essential in building robust enterprise
Web Services. Actually I like this portion of the book particularly
because of its good subject matter and clear content. Implementing
Web services in real world is little tricky because we have to
consider different entities such as security, reliability,
performance etc.
Chapter 5 drills down into the features that WSCL (Web Services
Conversation Language) provides. It also explains how to use WSDL (Web
Services Description Language) and WSCL together. Chapter 6
explains the basics of business process management and BPEL
(Business Process Execution Language for Web Services). Chapter 7
covers how to implement transaction in Web Services using BTP
(Business Transaction Protocol). Chapter 8 covers my favorite topic
and the entity which limits the widespread of Web Services:
Security. In-depth Coverage! Chapter 9 explicates best
practices and architectures for building QoS- enabled Web Services
and client applications. Chapter 10 discusses the Web services
within the context of mobile and wireless environments. Chapter 11
provides a brief look on how to develop portals by consuming Web
Services and Web services management.
The third portion of the book covers two entities. First part covers
how to develop and consume Web services only using core technologies
SOAP and WSDL. Second covers how to build an enterprise level
application.
For .NET programmers (like me!), even though the
samples are in Java/J2EE based, it is worth to have a look at this
book to get some good picture
over the concepts.
