SOA Cookbook: SOA Implementation Recipes, Tips and Techniques

This book is more than just a how-to for Web Services in Java EE 5. SOA COOKBOOK's target audience is the technical architect or programmer/architect-readers who are charged with implementing SOA in their organizations. And SOA is only partly about cranking out code. Beyond the programming, developers need to know things like what governance really is and what strategic, architectural and programmatic tools you can use to ramp it up. While there are a number of existing SOA-related titles, this one is different. Many SOA titles are written at a high level, for managers or astronaut architects, with little in the way of practical how-to advice for the developer on the ground. SOA COOKBOOK will follow the basic format of Ian Darwin's wonderful Java Cookbook. Like that title, it will contain only concise, focused, and code-rich tips on how to implement a SOA using Java Web Services technologies. It will be written in a clear, formal, professional style. SOA, as you know, is far more than Just a Bunch of Web Services, and this book will illuminate this. There will be no history, no filler, no jokes. This is "Unix Power Tools" for would-be SOA implementers.
