Designing Web Services with the J2EE 1.4 Platform

Written by Sun Microsystems' Java BluePrints team, this
book is the authoritative guide to the best
practices for designing & integrating enterprise-level Web services
using the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE)
1.4. This book provides the guidelines, patterns, and
real-world examples architects and developers need in order
to shorten the learning curve and start building
robust, scalable, and portable solutions.
The authors use the
Java Adventure Builder application to bring the design
process to life and help illustrate the use
of Java APIs for XML Processing (JAXP), Java
APIs for XML-Based RPC (JAX-RPC), and other Web
service and Java-XML technologies.
