Summary: Excellent coverage of Web Services Topics
Comment: I've been thoroughly impressed with this book. It throws a wide net over most of the current web services standards and technologies, and gives you at least an understanding of where they all fit, while still providing you with enough depth on the crucial ones (SOAP (with Axis), UDDI, etc.) so that you can get started with real projects.
I particularly liked the way in which the authors have created an all-in-one reference book on the most important web services technologies. For instance, I've never been able to read SOAP messages without having a reference on XML namespaces and XML schemas handy -- no more -- it's all here in this book.
The coverage of the new Apache Axis project is especially good; not only does it explain the advantages of the new architecture for handling SOAP headers, but it gives code examples for making use of these new features. This is to be expected, since many of the authors of this book are major contributors to the Axis project.
I also found the chapters on Web Services security and UDDI to be helpful and enlightening. While all of the chapters in the book don't live up to the promise of these excellent chapters, it's still overall an great introduction to this new set of technologies.
And by the way, the guy that gave the book 1 star because it has "no source code downloadable" should have first tried going to www.samspublishing.com and done a search on the author's names -- the page for the book CLEARLY has a section for "downloads" where you can get the source code.

Summary: Great book to start the journey with
Comment: I recently started my first Web Services project and had some ramp-up to do with my knowledge on the subject -- I consider myself being pretty well into J2EE, but the SOAP/WSDL/UDDI triad was something unknown. I picked three books, O'Reilly's "Java Web Services", Wrox' "Professional XML Web Services", and this book.
"Building Web Services with Java" beats all the others as an introduction to the mindset of Web Services. The straight-forward but not overwhelmingly hardcore approach suits me and my background. The authors present different angles, alternatives and give meaning to what they are describing. Especially the chapter describing UDDI was the best introduction I've bumped into.
Even though I gave it 5 stars, I won't say you'll suffice with this book and only this book. This is an introduction with a great coverage, not a programming reference; If you're looking for one, pick another bible to go with this one.

Summary: Good coverage of WSDL, SOAP, UDDI but light on JWSDP
Comment: The coverage of WSDL, SOAP, and UDDI is clear and thorough. Even though the book has a number of authors, there's a nice flow between chapters and the writing is consistent and coherent. However, I gave the book only three stars because it has just a cursory review of Sun's Java Web Services Developer Pack. That's not surprising, considering JWSDP was in still in a larval stage when the book was written. But if you're a serious developer, you'll need to download JWSDP from Sun and go through the tutorial to learn the APIs.
