Synopsis
Java Web Services Architecture is for Web services professionals seeking to understand enterprise architecture, Web services design, and application integration. This book begins with an overview of Web services, their usage, and design, followed by an in-depth look at the necessary standards and technologies (SOAP, EbXML, UDDI, WSDL). This leads into a detailed explanation all of the JAX APIs that are the foundation of Web services within Java, as well as their practical applications. The final section covers numerous advanced topics, including security. While various implementations are exemplified in a running case study, the book remains vendor neutral.
