Summary: Good breadth, bad depth on Java Web Services
Comment: This is a good book to familiarizing on how to implement web services using Java. What I found most valuable about this book is the coverage of AXIS, CapeStudio, SAP and J2EE.
As most other Web Services books, the chapters on SOAP, WSDL, UDDI and Web Services Security are very general and take up half of the book. If you're already familiar with these concepts these chapters are useless. Also as most web services related technologies are quickly evolving I would find this book quite outdated today.

Summary: Typical Wrox product.....
Comment: Wrox books tend to occupy a particular niche in the market. Wrox' strategy seems to be to be early into the marketplace with a book on a bleeding edge topic. Their 'Early Adopter' series is particularly aimed at this market, but so are many of their books. If something is wrong or superceded, Wrox will publish another book on the same topic, usually a bunch more books on the topic.
Wrox also tends to publish books with many authors. This makes their books spotty, though in theory it ensures expert knowledge of a wide range of topics. In practice I don't find it so. Certain chapters in any Wrox book will be effectively unusable.
The speed comes at a price in terms of proofreading and to the useful life of the books they publish. When I purchase a Wrox book I know what I'm getting. It's a book with a short useful life which will help get me started quickly on bleeding edge topics at the cost of some frustration and skullsweat.
Typically I will replace a Wrox book later on my learning curve when O'Reilly and other more careful publishers come out with their books. There is a place for books like these. Even if they aren't 100% accurate, they are timely and are rarely completely useless. I usually don't recommend them for beginning technologists for that reason.
This book was useful when I bought it but has now almost reached it's sell-by date.

Summary: Confusing coverage of SOAP, WSDL, UDDI....Helpful Samples
Comment: I have some gripes about this book:
*First of all, the explanation of SOAP, WSDL, UDDI gets quite confusing and convoluted. I had a hard time understanding the explanations given about these protocols, especially about how they are structured.
*The samples that cover Apache SOAP require the IBM web services toolkit 2.4. However, you can only download the 3.0 version of this toolkit from the IBM website. The 3.0 version is not compatible with the 2.4 version. In essence, you cannot run these samples.
*The security section of this book is only theoretical. No samples. (The reason given was that most of the security technologies are still in development).
Other than these gripes, this book will give you a broad understanding of the java web services so that hopefully, you can get started on implementing/deploying this new technology.
