This book is essentially a rewrite of the free Java Web Services Developer Pack Tutorial from Sun. The book’s writing is clear and the explanations are good but the text covers only introductory level topics. I expect a good textbook to go into a topic in depth, to point out problem areas, advanced techniques and the “gotchas” of a library (e. g. , Jason Hunter’s excellent “Java Servlet Programming”). All the screenshots and double-spaced code examples hide the fact that there’s not much information here. The security chapter has nothing to do with Web services at all but is an introduction to JSSE; nice, but not what I paid for. Also, one of the book’s advertised features is a web site with an “Ask the Author” section but I never got a response to either of my questions. Deitel’s “Java Web Services” is a far better choice.
