Web Services and SOA explained to great extent

This can be considered the defacto reference for Service oriented infrastructure setup initiatives and approaches. Thomas Erl has made it a masterpiece with lot of positives, negatives and reasons for different choices that can be considered. First couple of chapters dwell into first and generation of web services including BPEL4WS, WS-S, WS-coordination etc. There is also explanations of strategic approaches of XML and database...

Uniquely useful for architects, engineers and implementers

There are many other books out there about SOA/Web Services that provide a decent overview of the various technical standards, and the vendor products that implement those standards. To use the author's analogy with building a house: these books are like the manuals for the power tools that are used in the construction of the house. While this is certainly useful information, it is not enough. You need to know what you are...

Insightful

Very good reference for designing web services. Takes many low-level considerations into account, relating mostly to XML data formatted documents. What I also liked about this book is being able to read about web services without references to specific programming languages. It gives you a good grasp of concepts that you can take into development with you. This book should appeal to anyone wanting to get a broader perspective...

This was helpful

We are struggling with webservices/soa migration issues. Two of our systems are causing us a lot of problems. This book helped us with planning and education. It gave us different ideas for approaching migration and integration. This book gave us a migration strategy that is working. Not bad for forty dollars! I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning how webservices can be positioned to enable integration...

Intelligently written and very thorough

Truly remarkable collection of tips and tricks and best practices covering the currently evolving SOA landscape. This guide focuses on the many ways and the many levels XML and Web Services can be integrated within the context of SOA. As such, this is not a book about theory as much as it is about dealing with real world problems. I am mystified as to why people are comparing this book to tutorials or books about Java or...
