Summary: Didn't give me any clue on how to build web services on J2EE
Comment: This book is not very useful for the average designer who wants to implement web services on a J2EE platform. It is more for managers and high level architects. It spends alot of pages on topics like business cases and ebXML, but JAX-RPC is covered in one single page. It does not focus on the core technologies you need to build a web service on a J2EE platform. The WS-I basic profile is hardly mentioned.
If you are a programmer/designer/architect you should have a look at the book "J2EE Web Services" by Richard Monson-Haefel instead.

Summary: A good reference book
Comment: This is clearly not a how-to book for the programmer tasked with the creation of a simple web service that needs to be up within a couple days. There are no long pages of code reprints or on-liner "Hello-world". No, this book is better seen as a concentrate of experience from people involved in designing large scale enterprise class services. Reading this book is akin to peeking into their notes at the end of the project: business cases, use cases, technology overviews and systems diagrams are the type of material the author has assembled.
The book covers Web Services from the perspective of Sun's architecture, tools and technologies in a vendor neutral fashion. Considering the title, this should not be a surprise for anyone. After a review of the notion of services as well as the enabling technologies (XML, UDDI, SOAP, WSDL, ebXML, Service Registries), the author describes some best practices and reference designs that were successful on some large scale projects mixing services, legacy systems and the internet.
The book will particularly appeal to the managers who want to understand why web services should be on their radar screens, and the architects who will design the solutions. I particularly enjoyed the diagrams which give a very good high level view of the problems at hand, as well as list of references at the end of each section. These are usually a good addition to the book's content for people wanting to dig deeper. Altogether this is the type of book I like, where the author clearly exposes the forces and risks of each proposed solution.

Comment: The book is excellent. It provides an in-depth study of web services technologies. While reading your book, I gain a lot of knowledge in the area of web services. The book is truly an invaluable resource for the design and implementation of the technologies.
