Description
"An outstanding depth-and-breadth resource for IT architects and Java professionals to understand and apply the marriage of SOA and modern Java."
--Antonio Bruno, Enterprise Architecture and Strategy, digitalStrom
"A great self-contained book on SOA using flexible Java implementations...."
--Roger Stoffers, Hewlett Packard
"Provides clarity on abstract concepts and is filled with concrete examples of implementing SOA principles in Java environments."
--Sanjay Singh, Certified SOA Architect
"...provides a holistic, comprehensive view on leveraging SOA principles and architecture for building and deploying performant Java services."
--Suzanne D'Souza, KBACE Technologies
"Thomas Erl's series of books on services technology have shaped, influenced, and strengthened a whole community of enterprise and solution architects' thinking and solution development, and the much awaited SOA with Java book is an excellent addition to the series. It is a must-read."
--Lalatendu Rath, Wipro Technologies
The Definitive Guide to Building Service-Oriented Solutions with Lightweight and Mainstream Java Technologies
Java has evolved into an exceptional platform for building Web-based enterprise services. In SOA with Java, Thomas Erl and several world-class experts guide you in mastering the principles, best practices, and Java technologies you need to design and deliver high-value services and service-oriented solutions.
You'll learn how to implement SOA with lightweight frameworks, mainstream Java services technologies, and contemporary specifications and standards. To demonstrate real-world examples, the authors present multiple case study scenarios. They further demystify complex concepts with a plain-English writing style. This book will be valuable to all developers, analysts, architects, and other IT professionals who want to design and implement Web-based service-oriented architectures and enterprise solutions with Java technologies.
Topic Areas
Applying modern service-orientation principles to modern Java technology platforms
Leveraging Java infrastructure extensions relevant to service-oriented solutions
Exploring key concepts associated with SOA and service-orientation within the context of Java
Reviewing relevant Java platforms, technologies, and APIs
Understanding the standards and conventions that REST and SOAP services are built upon in relation to Java implementations
Building Java Web-based services with JAX-WS and JAX-RS
Applying the eight key principles of service-orientation design using Java tools and technologies
Creating Java utility services: architectural, design, and implementation issues
Constructing effective entity services: service contracts, messages, data access, and processing
Constructing task services, including detailed guidance on service composition
Using ESBs to support infrastructure requirements in complex services ecosystems

Thomas Erl is a top-selling IT author, founder of Arcitura Education, editor of the Service Technology Magazine, and series editor of the Prentice Hall Service Technology Series from Thomas Erl. With more than 175,000 copies in print worldwide, his books have become international bestsellers and have been formally endorsed by senior members of major IT organizations, such as IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Intel, Accenture, IEEE, HL7, MITRE, SAP, CISCO, HP, and many others. As CEO of Arcitura Education Inc. and in cooperation with CloudSchool.com and SOASchool.com, Thomas has led the development of curricula for the internationally recognized Cloud Certified Professional (CCP) and SOA Certified Professional (SOACP) accreditation programs, which have established a series of formal, vendor-neutral industry certifications obtained by thousands of IT professionals around the world. Thomas has toured more than 20 countries as a speaker and instructor and regularly participates in international conferences, including Service Technology Symposium and Gartner events. More than 100 articles and interviews by Thomas have been published in numerous publications, including The Wall Street Journal and CIO Magazine.
Andre Tost works as a Senior Technical Staff Member and Software Architect in IBM's Software Group. He is currently helping to develop and evolve the new PureApplication System cloud platform. Previously, Andre spent 10 years as an SOA consultant for IBM, leading large SOA transformation projects with clients worldwide. His specific focus was on SOA governance and middleware integration using enterprise service bus technology. Andre has co-authored several technical books and has published many articles on SOA and related topics. He is also a frequent conference speaker. Originally from Germany, he now works and lives in Rochester, Minnesota. He likes to watch, coach and play soccer whenever his busy schedule allows.
