"Java Web Services Architecture really is one of the nicest technical books I have seen in a long time, combining a basic introduction to the subject with a systematic coverage of a very technical set of specifications. I can't imagine anyone is going to write anything better than this for a software developer or architect that wants to design Java Web services applications." -- Paul Harmon, Senior Consultant, Distributed Architecture Service, Cutter Consortium
