For many Java developers, web services appeared to come out of nowhere. Its advantages are clear: web services are platform-independent (like Java itself), language-agnostic (a clear advantage over Java RMI), can easily be tunneled through firewalls (an obvious benefit to anyone who has dealt with modern enterprise networks), object-oriented (we all know about that), and tends to be loosely coupled (allowing more flexible application development). But these advantages have been obscured by a cloud of hype and a proliferation of jargon that are difficult to penetrate. What are SOAP, UDDI, WSDL, and JAXM? To say nothing of JAXR, tModels, category bags, WSFL, and other friends? And assuming that you understand what they are, how do you do anything with them? Do they live up to their promises? Are they really the future of network computing, or a dead end? Java Web Services gives the experienced Java developer a way into the Web Services world. It helps you to understand what's going on, what the technologies mean and how they relate, and shows Java developers how to put them to use to solve real problems. You'll learn what's real and what isn't; what the technologies are really supposed to do, and how they do it. Java Web Services shows you how to use SOAP to perform remote method calls and message passing; how to use WSDL to describe the interface to a web service or understand the interface of someone else's service; and how to use UDDI to advertise (publish) and look up services in each local or global registry. Java Web Services also discusses security issues, interoperability issues, integration with other Java enterprise technologies like EJB; the work being done on the JAXM andJAX-RPC packages, and integration with Microsoft's .NET services. The web services picture is still taking shape; there are many platforms and APIs to consider, and many conflicting claims from different marketing groups. And although web services are inherently language-independent, the fit between the fundamental principles on which Java and web services are based means that Java will almost certainly be the predominant language for web services development. If you're a Java developer and want to climb on the web services bandwagon, or if you only want to "kick the tires" and find out what web services has to offer, you will find this book indispensable. |

Colophon Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Java Web Services is a European ibex. The European ibex, also called the Alpine ibex, is a wild goat that lives in the central and southern European Alps. The mammal used to be common in high altitudes of the Alps, but is now a rare and protected species. Male ibexes are distinguished by their long, semicircular horns, which can grow as long as 30 inches. When threatened, ibexes fight with their horns or hide in rocky areas. The ibex has played a prominent role in Alpine life for thousands of years. Archeologists document 13,000-year-old paintings of ibexes in French caves that depict the animal as a hunting target. Alpine folklore, in which ibex body parts were considered powerful, also popularized hunting of the animal. Until the 18th century, the European ibex lived throughout the Austrian, French, Italian, and Swiss Alps and was hunted extensively. Within the next 200 years, the ibex's habitat shrunk considerably, and herds were found only in northern Italy. Government protection and reintroduction efforts have expanded its habitat in recent decades. Ironically, hunting has also contributed to the recovery of the ibex population in Europe; the animal was reintroduced specifically as a trophy game animal in several Alpine regions, and international hunting expeditions (which feature the ibex and other local wildlife) are now an important source of income for many local populations. Ann Schirmer was the production editor and copyeditor for Java Web Services. Matt Hutchinson proofread the book. Claire Cloutier, Jeff Holcomb, and Matt Hutchinson provided quality control. David Chu, Phil Dangler, Julie Flanagan, Sue Willing, and Leanne Soylemez provided production assistance. John Bickelhaupt wrote the index. Emma Colby designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font. Melanie Wang designed the interior layout, based on a series design by David Futato. Neil Walls converted the files from Microsoft Word to FrameMaker 5.5.6 using tools created by Mike Sierra. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia FreeHand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. The tip and warning icons were drawn by Christopher Bing. This colophon was written by Ann Schirmer. |

Merchant response: Hi,
I'm sorry you encountered problems with the example files. I think the problem may be that there is one zip file nested inside another. So, you can download the examples zip at http://examples.oreilly.com/9780596002695/javawebserv_examples.zip and inside of that zip file you should see JavaWebServices_Examples_README.txt and JavaWebServices_examples.zip. Once you open the second zip, you should be able to browse the examples by chapter.
Feel free to contact booktech@oreilly.com, our book technical support group, if you run into more problems.
Regards,
Rachel James
