Java Web Services in der Praxis
Realisierung einer SOA mit WSIT, Metro und Policies

(Written in German language)

This book covers the service oriented architecture (SOA) and its implementation with help of Web Services. Many projects around the world are based on Web Service technologies.
Simple projects, like checking a credit card or more complex scenarios like integration processes are possible. 

But each of those projects has one unique base – a set of specifications, best practices and technologies.

Within the world of Java a single specification, called JAX-WS, for describing Web Services exists. The Metro Web Service Stack is the implementation of choice for many developers and architects. This Stack is incorporated in many enterprise service bus implementations as well as in the standard Java Development Kit itself.

The main focus of the book is describing the current specifications and their implementations with help of a sample application. A special objective is a self describing sample application, which can be used for self studying the various aspects of a service oriented architecture or the different Web Services APIs. All of the samples can be downloaded and self explored.

It is also a main goal to provide a step for step tutorial for the main technology aspects of a SOA represented by Web Services. You will find technologies like security, transactions and reliable messaging for instance. The overall sample will be expanded in each chapter by introducing another service API. After final reading you will have a deep understanding of Web Service technologies, the Java JAX-WS and Metro implementation as well as the Glassfish ESB. Another chapter clarifies the interoperability with Microsoft .NET.
