Web Services Platform Architecture: SOAP, WSDL, WS-Policy, WS-Addressing, WS-BPEL, WS-Reliable Messaging, and More
“Other books claim to present the complete Web services platform architecture, but this is the first one I’ve seen that really does. The authors have been intimately involved in the creation of the architecture. Who better to write this book?” –Anne Thomas Manes, Vice President and Research Director, Burton Group “This is a very important book, providing a lot of technical detail and background that very few (if any) other books will be able to provide. The list of authors includes some of the top experts in the various specifications covered, and they have done an excellent job explaining the background motivation for and pertinent details of each specification. The benefit of their perspectives and collective expertise alone make the book worth reading.” –Eric Newcomer, CTO, IONA Technologies “Most Web services books barely cover the basics, but this book informs practitioners of the “real-world” Web services aspects that they need to know to build real applications. The authors are well-known technical leaders in the Web services community and they helped write the Web services specifications covered in this book.Anyone who wants to do serious Web services development should read this book. ” –Steve Vinoski, Chief Engineer, Product Innovation, IONA Technologies “There aren’t many books that are as ambitious as this one is. The most notable distinguishing factor of this book is that the authors have tried to pair down the specifications for the user and rather than focusing on competing specifications, they focus on complementary ones. Nearly every chapter provides a business justification and need for each feature discussed in the Web services stack. I would recommend this book to developers, integrators, and architects.” –Daniel Edgar, Systems Architect, Portland General Electric “Rarely does a project arrive with such a list of qualified and talented authors. The subject matter is timely and significant to the industry.” –Eric Newcomer, author of Understanding SOA with Web Services and Understanding Web Services and Chief Technology officer, IONA The Insider’s Guide to Building Breakthrough Services with Today’sNew Web Services Platform Using today’s new Web services platform, you can build services that are secure, reliable, efficient at handling transactions, and well suited to your evolving service-oriented architecture. What’s more, you can do all that without compromising the simplicity or interoperability that made Web services so attractive. Now, for the first time, the experts who helped define and architect this platform show you exactly how to make the most of it. Unlike other books, Web Services Platform Architecture covers the entire platform. The authors illuminate every specification that’s ready for practical use, covering messaging, metadata, security, discovery, quality of service, business-process modeling, and more. Drawing on realistic examples and case studies, they present a powerfully coherent view of how all these specifications fit together–and how to combine them to solve real-world problems.* Service orientation: Clarifying the business and technical value propositions * Web services messaging framework: Using SOAP and WS-Addressing to deliver Web services messages * WSDL: Documenting messages and supporting diverse message interactions * WS-Policy: Building services that specify their requirements and capabilities, and how to interface with them * UDDI: Aggregating metadata and making it easily available * WS-MetadataExchange: Bootstrapping efficient, customized communication between Web services * WS-Reliable Messaging: Ensuring message delivery across unreliable networks * Transactions: Defining reliable interactions with WS-Coordination, WS-AtomicTransaction, and WS-BusinessActivity * Security: Understanding the roles of WS-Security, WS-Trust, WS-SecureConversation, and WS-Federation * BPEL: Modeling and executing business processes as service compositions Web Services Platform Architecture gives you an insider’s view of the platform that will change the way you deliver applications.

Web Services Essentials (O’Reilly XML)
As a developer new to Web Services, how do you make sense of this emerging framework so you can start writing your own services today? This concise book gives programmers both a concrete introduction and a handy reference to XML web services, first by explaining the foundations of this new breed of distributed services, and then by demonstrating quick ways to create services with open-source Java tools.
Web Services make it possible for diverse applications to discover each other and exchange data seamlessly via the Internet. For instance, programs written in Java and running on Solaris can find and call code written in C# that run on Windows XP, or programs written in Perl that run on Linux, without any concern about the details of how that service is implemented. A common set of Web Services is at the core of Microsoft’s new .NET strategy, Sun Microsystems’s Sun One Platform, and the W3C’s XML Protocol Activity Group.
In this book, author Ethan Cerami explores four key emerging technologies:
- XML Remote Procedure Calls (XML-RPC)
- SOAP – The foundation for most commercial Web Services development
- Universal Discovery, Description and Integration (UDDI)
- Web Services Description Language (WSDL)
For each of these topics, Web Services Essentials provides a quick overview, Java tutorials with sample code, samples of the XML documents underlying the service, and explanations of freely-available Java APIs. Cerami also includes a guide to the current state of Web Services, pointers to open-source tools and a comprehensive glossary of terms.
If you want to break through the Web Services hype and find useful information on these evolving technologies, look no further than Web Services Essentials.

J2EE Web Services: XML SOAP WSDL UDDI WS-I JAX-RPC JAXR SAAJ JAXP
Web Services is the latest trend to hit the software industry. It promises to promote interoperability among disparate applications; i.e., applications written in different languages and running on diverse platforms. This book covers Web services protocols SOAP, WSDL, UDDI and the J2EE APIs that are used with these protocols including: JAX-RPC, JAXM, JWSDL, and JAXR. The author explains in detail how to use these Java APIs with the J2EE platform and also provides detailed information on security issues and interoperability between J2EE platforms and .NET. The book also includes a primer on XML, XSD and JAXP (the Java XML API), which is necessary basis for understanding how to process SOAP messages.

Understanding Web Services: XML, WSDL, SOAP, and UDDI
Web services enable the new generation of Internet-based applications. These services support application-to-application Internet communication-that is, applications at different network locations can be integrated to function as if they were part of a single, large software system. Examples of applications made possible by Web services include automated business transactions and direct (nonbrowser) desktop and handheld device access to reservations, stock trading, and order-tracking systems.
Several key standards have emerged that together form the foundation for Web services: XML (Extensible Markup Language), WSDL (Web Services Definition Language), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), and UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration). In addition, ebXML (Electronic Business XML) has been specified to facilitate automated business process integration among trading partners.
This book introduces the main ideas and concepts behind core and extended Web services’ technologies and provides developers with a primer for each of the major technologies that have emerged in this space. In addition, Understanding Web Services summarizes the major architectural approaches to Web services, examines the role of Web services within the .NET and J2EE communities, and provides information about major product offerings from BEA, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, IONA, Microsoft, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, and others.
Key topics include:
XML facilities for structuring and serializing data How WSDL maps services onto communication protocols and transports WSDL support for RPC-orientedand document-oriented interactions SOAP’s required and optional elements Message processing and the role of intermediaries in SOAP
UDDI data formats and APIs
How ebXML offers an alternative to Web services that supports reliable messaging, security, and trading-partner negotiations
With Understanding Web Services, you will be well informed and well positioned to participate in this vast, emerging marketplace.Web services, the new way of stitching data and processing resources together to form elaborate, distributed applications, aren’t like other software systems. They differ even from other architectures for distributed applications. In his fantastic Understanding Web Services, Eric Newcomer helps his readers figure out what Web services are all about. This book is better than any other book out there in helping readers come to grips with the terms, technologies, behaviors, and design requirements that define the Web services universe. It’s remarkably light on code–Newcomer’s logic appears to be that you should dig into the details of implementation only after you thoroughly understand the design concepts–and emphasizes definition and exposition of SOAP, UDDI, WSDL, and ebXML.
Newcomer’s work looks and reads almost like a notebook, with succinct statements in the margin (for instance, “SOAP processors first have to check the mustUnderstand attribute, if any”), adjacent to paragraphs that go into greater depth. He’s careful to call attention to differences among the relevant standards documents, and points out differences among implementations. Graphical learners may wish for more conceptual diagrams, as there aren’t a lot of them here. Newcomer’s prose is brilliant, though, and it’s pretty easy to determine what he means. Perhaps best of all, Newcomer isn’t cheap with his opinions and forecasts. It’s helpful to read his informed feelings and predictions. –David Wall
Topics covered: The specifications, implementations, and popular trends that define the Web services movement. Conceptual coverage of Extensible Markup Language (XML), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Web Services Description Language (WSDL), and the Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) protocol fills these pages. Emphasis is on how it all works rather than on how to program for it.
