Java SOA Cookbook offers practical solutions and advice to programmers charged with implementing a service-oriented architecture (SOA) in their organization. Instead of providing another conceptual, high-level view of SOA, this cookbook shows you how to make SOA work. It's full of Java and XML code you can insert directly into your applications and recipes you can apply right away.
The book focuses primarily on the use of free and open source Java Web Services technologies -- including Java SE 6 and Java EE 5 tools -- but you'll find tips for using commercially available tools as well.
Java SOA Cookbook will help you:
Construct XML vocabularies and data models appropriate to SOA applications
Build real-world web services using the latest Java standards, including JAX-WS 2.1 and JAX-RS 1.0 for RESTful web services
Integrate applications from popular service providers using SOAP, POX, and Atom
Create service orchestrations with complete coverage of the WS-BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) 2.0 standard
Improve the reliability of SOAP-based services with specifications such as WS-Reliable Messaging
Deal with governance, interoperability, and quality-of-service issues
The recipes in Java SOA Cookbook will equip you with the knowledge you need to approach SOA as an integration challenge, not an obstacle.
awe-inspiringFebruary 23, 2010 Eli Lato(Ganey Tikvah, ISRAEL) The author's knowledge is unbelievable. I can't imagine how one person could know a subject so deeply.
The tough part of SOA is that there are so many ways to do it: the tip of the iceberg is rpc or document, literal or encoded, wrapped or bare. And the deeper you get, the more architectural decisions there are e.g., java first or contract first, or "in the middle." Hewitt gives you exactly the perspective you need to make these decisions.
He writes beautifully, too.
Great book.
Very good!February 19, 2010 Kishor Arun Simple to understand and readable. I like the book ir recommend it to the software development community. The introduction is great and the material is well structured i also think that the book should become a text book for graduate students
A handy book for web service starterJanuary 8, 2010 C. Kwan(Seattle, WA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am working on my very first web service project and am using WebLogic 10.3. The Oracle site has good tutorial on how to use the wsdlc, wsgen, clientgen to generate web service. But I need someone/something to guide me when I have some little questions. Like how to write wsdl so the operation throws exception; what tools to monitor SOAP traffic...etc. And this book has already answered several of my questions and has already paid for itself.
Fine bookDecember 1, 2009 Franklin Rolando Orellana(El Salvador) 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book covers a lot of SOA, but it makes it in a way that is very boring and doesn't get to the point (any point) as fasta as someone would like.
Bottomline, this is a good book for reference but not for learning how to make a SOA from scratch

Excelente trabajo el de Hewitt. El primer capitulo puede ser suficiente para pagar el precio. Cualquier empresa/arquitecto con una iniciativa SOA debe leer este libro.
Completamente recomendado.
