UDDI, SOAP, and WSDL: The Web Services Specification Reference Book
UDDI, SOAP and WSDL are the three key specifications that will drive the Web Services revolution. Now, there’s an authoritative one-stop technical specification reference for every developer who wants to use them: Web Services Specification Reference Book: UDDI, SOAP and WSDL presents the official text of all three standards, with expert commentary by a leading expert. The perfect companion to any other book on UDDI, SOAP, and WSDL, this book is the definitive standards reference — always right at hand, with no time-consuming Internet downloads required! The book begins with an up-to-the-minute preface introducing UDDI, SOAP, and WDSL: their goals, elements, and current status. Learn how Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) creates a platform-independent, open framework for describing services, discovering businesses, and integrating business services using the Internet. Understand Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), the XML/HTTP-based lightweight protocol for accessing services, objects and servers, enabling the creation of rich and automated Web services based on a shared and open Web infrastructure. Finally, understand the features and elements of the Web Services Description Language (WSDL), the XML-formatted language designed to describe the capabilities of any Web Service.Web Services themselves are language-independent; you can write them in Java, C#, or, in theory, any language. However, at the heart of Web Services are three protocols for making code modules known to each other and for facilitating communication among them. UDDI, SOAP, and WSDL: The Web Services Specification Reference Book contains, verbatim, the standards documents that define these three programming tools, as originally published online by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and UDDI.org. Specifically, the document list includes all the schema documents and Application Program Interface (API) references that define how the standards work (a dozen papers in total). The editor has added no content of his own, choosing instead to let the standards documents stand together as a definition of Web Services.
Certainly, you can get every one of these documents on the Internet, completely free of charge. The value in this work is in convenience. Everything is uniformly formatted and printed out for you, with a table of contents that spans all 12 documents. It’s pretty handy if you have a need to cite chapter and verse on some aspect of SOAP messaging or UDDI indexing. However, this book would be significantly more valuable if it had an index that spanned all the documents. Such a feature would allow you to, for example, quickly see what different specifications say about MIME binding. As it is, there’s no book-wide index at all. Similarly useful would be a searchable version of the document collection on CD-ROM or on a Web site. That would allow you to do the same thing. –David Wall
Topics covered: The standards documents that define Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) 1.0, Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) 1.1, and Web Services Description Language (WSDL) 1.1.

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. Whether you’re an architect, developer, technical manager, or consultant, you’ll find it indispensable.Sanjiva Weerawarana, research staff member for the component systems group at IBM Research, helps define and coordinate IBM’s Web services technical strategy and activities. A member of the Apache Software Foundation, he contributed to many specifications including the SOAP 1.1 and WSDL 1.1 specifications and built their first implementations. Francisco Curbera, IBM research staff member and component systems group manager, coauthored BPEL4WS, WS-Addressing, and other specifications. He represents IBM on the BPEL and Web Services Addressing working groups. Frank Leymann directs the Institute of Architecture of Application Systems at the University of Stuttgart. As an IBM distinguished engineer, he helped architect IBM’s middleware stack and define IBM’s On Demand Computing strategy.

Applied SOAP: Implementing .NET XML Web Services
This book takes the reader from the architecture of .NET to real-world techniques they can use in their own Internet applications. The reader is introduced to .NET and Web Services and explores (in detail) issues surrounding the fielding of successful Web Services. Practical guidelines as well as solutions are provided that the rader may use in their own projects. Some of the issues involve lack of specific guidance in the SOAP specification, while others transcend SOAP and involve issues Internet developers have grappled with since the inception of the World Wide Web. At this time, this book has no competition.
