Web services is the integration technology preferred by organizations implementing service-oriented architectures. I would recommend that anybody involved in application development obtain a working knowledge of these technologies, and I'm pleased to recommend Erl's book as a great place to begin.-Tom Glover, Senior Program Manager, Web Services Standards, IBM Software Group, and Chairman of the Web Services Interoperability Organization (WS-I).An excellent guide to building and integrating XML and Web services, providing pragmatic recommendations for applying these technologies effectively. The author tackles numerous integration challenges, identifying common mistakes and providing guidance needed to get it right the first time. A valuable resource for understanding and realizing the benefits of service-oriented architecture in the enterprise.-David Keogh, Program Manager, Visual Studio Enterprise Tools, Microsoft.Leading-edge IT organizations are currently exploring second generation web service technologies, but introductory material beyond technical specifications is sparse. Erl explains many of these emerging technologies in simple terms, elucidating the difficult concepts with appropriate examples, and demonstrates how they contribute to service-oriented architectures. I highly recommend this book to enterprise architects for their shelves.-Kevin P. Davis, Ph. D., Software Architect.Service-oriented integration with less cost and less riskï ï The emergence of key second-generation Web services standards has positioned service-oriented architecture (SOA) as the foremost platform for contemporary business automation solutions. The integration of SOA principles and technology is empowering organizations to build applications with unprecedented levels of flexibility, agility, and sophistication (while also allowing them to leverage existing legacy environments).This guide will help you dramatically reduce the risk, complexity, and cost of integrating the many new concepts and technologies introduced by the SOA platform. It brings together the first comprehensive collection of field-proven strategies, guidelines, and best practices for making the transition toward the service-oriented enterprise.Writing for architects, analysts, managers, and developers, Thomas Erl offers expert advice for making strategic decisions about both immediate and long-term integration issues. Erl addresses a broad spectrum of integration challenges, covering technical and design issues, as well as strategic planning. Covers crucial second-generation (WS-*) Web services standards: BPEL4WS, WS-Security, WS-Coordination, WS-Transaction, WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, and WS-Attachments Includes hundreds of individual integration strategies and more than 60 best practices for both XML and Web services technologies Includes a complete tutorial on service-oriented design principles for business and technical modeling Explores design issues related to a wide variety of service-oriented integration architectures that integrate XML and Web services into legacy and EAI environments Provides a clear roadmap for planning a long-term migration toward a standardized service-oriented enterpriseService-oriented architecture is no longer an exclusive discipline practiced only by expensive consultants. With this book's help, you can plan, architect, and implement your own service-oriented environments-efficiently and cost-effectively.About the Web SitesErl's Service-Oriented Architecture books are supported by two Web sites. http://www.soabooks.com provides a variety of content resources and http://www.soaspecs.com supplies a descriptive portal to referenced specifications.

Service-oriented architecture is the new buzzword for information technology (IT) departments that are integrating applications using Web services. This book is therefore a valuable tool, especially for application architects, project managers, business analysts, and, to a lesser degree, application developers. It mostly covers the strategies and standards used to integrate legacy applications, or newly built ones, with Extensible Markup Language (XML) technologies and Web services. It also presents the second-generation Web services technologies (namely, business process execution language for Web services (BPEL4WS), WS-Transaction, WS-ReliableMessaging, and so on). The author has structured the book into four parts, starting with an introduction to XML and Web technologies, continuing with a discussion of integrating these technologies into applications, then of integrating applications, and ending with integration at the enterprise level. Part 1 introduces the reader to classic XML technologies, XML Web services, and service-oriented architecture (SOA), and culminates with a discussion of the second generation of Web services, and the service-oriented enterprise (SOE). Part 2 discusses the integration of Web technologies into applications. It delves into a multitude of integration scenarios that can be grouped roughly into three groups: the integration of XML, the integration of Web services, and the integration of XML with classic database applications. This last topic is covered extensively, because of the fundamental differences that exist between the two technologies. Still, the technologies can be made to talk to each other through a rigorous integration architecture design. Part 3 covers strategies for application integration, first presenting the mechanics of the application integration, and then going into detail to discuss the integration of legacy applications, and the integration of enterprise infrastructure architectures by means of the service-oriented architecture. Part 4 takes the reader through various strategies for planning and implementing the integration of XML technologies and Web services into various projects. It also presents best practices for knowledge management and standardization within these XML projects. The book is the result of the author's years of working as an XML consultant, and his experience as the author of the XML and Web Services Integration Framework (XWIF). As such, it contains a fountain of expert advice on best practices in XML and Web integration. The many tables and figures included in the book help the reader get a grip on the topics presented, although, in some chapters, I found them overwhelmingly present, and not always helpful. There are also references to the book's site (http://www.serviceoriented.ws), which complements the book with a glossary of terms, updates, samples, and other valuable resources. As the author states himself, "to become proficient with any of these technologies, you will need to supplement this guide with specialized tutorials," a list of which can also be found on the book's site. If you are a technical architect or a project manager trying to make strategic decisions for integrating Web services into enterprise applications, this is the book to begin with.
