Java Web Services: Up and Running - New From O'Reilly
A Quick, Practical, and Thorough Introduction

Sebastopol, CA--In "Java Web Services: Up and Running" (O'Reilly, US
$34.99), Martin Kalin provides a code-driven introduction to JAX-WS (the
Java API for XML-Web Services), the framework of choice for Java web
services, whether SOAP-based or REST-style.  Kalin's approach is to
interpret JAX-WS broadly and, therefore, to include leading-edge
developments such as the Jersey project for REST-style web services,
officially known as JAX-RS (Java API for XML-RESTful Web Services).

Kalin's book is for programmers interested in developing Java web services
and Java clients against web services, whatever the implementation
language. "My code examples are short enough to highlight key features of
JAX-WS but also realistic enough to show off the production-level
capabilities that come with the JAX-WS framework," says Kalin. 

"Java Web Services: Up and Running" takes a clear, no-nonsense approach to
these technologies by providing readers with a mix of architectural
overview, complete working code examples, and short yet precise
instructions for compiling, deploying, and executing a sample application.
You'll learn how to write web services from scratch, as well as how to
integrate existing services into your Java applications. 

With "Java Web Services: Up and Running," you will:

- Understand the distinction between SOAP-based and REST-style services
- Focus on the WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) service contract
- Understand the structure of a SOAP message and the distinction between
SOAP versions 1.1 and 1.2
- Learn various approaches to delivering a Java-based RESTful web
service, and for consuming commercial RESTful services
- Know the security requirements for web services, both SOAP- and
REST-based
- Learn how to implement JAX-WS in various application servers

Ideal for students and experienced programmers alike, "Java Web Services:
Up and Running" is the guide you need to get going on this technology
right away.

"'Java Web Services: Up and Running' has lots of examples that I found
very useful; from using Amazon Associates Web Services to a chapter on
security that has good diagrams and descriptions of security and
encryption ciphers, in addition to examples using certificates that I
haven't seen in other texts."
- Greg Ostravich, President, Denver Java User Group
