Why is your second edition of “Java Web Services: Up and Running” important for people to read right now?</strong></p> <p>A. Web services and their clients are an increasingly prominent aspect of the web. For example, social networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tumblr together with e-commerce sites such as Amazon and eBay make available, through web services, the same data and functionality available through traditional websites. Indeed, it is rare nowadays to develop a website that is not paired with a web service. </p> <p><strong>Q. What will readers walk away with after reading "Java Web Services: Up and Running?"</strong></p> <p>A. The main informational points can be summarized as follows: <ul><li>Web services are a way to deliver data and functionality using existing technologies and infrastructures already in place. Such services represent a low-fuss approach to web-based applications.</li> <li>Web services represent a straightforward way to automate web-based tasks (for instance, ordering supplies from a vendor) and to integrate legacy software systems (for instance, a legacy COBOL system) with more modern systems.</li> <li>Web services are platform and language neutral: a web service written in a particular language and published on a particular platform is accessible to clients written in many other languages and executing on basically any computing device, from an industrial-strength server to a cell phone.</li> <li>Java provides complete coverage of web services, on the service and the client side; Java provides such coverage with rich options for programming and publishing web services.</li> <li>Web services come in two major flavors, REST-style and SOAP-based, and Java has excellent support for each flavor—on the service and the client side.</li></ul></p> <p>The book emphasizes code, on both the service and the client side. Accordingly, there are various full-code examples, on the service side, for all of popular Java APIs for doing REST-style and SOAP-based web services: HttpServlet, JAX-RS, Restlet, JAX-WS. There are also extensive examples on the client side, including clients against popular real-world services such as those from Amazon and Twitter. The book includes a full chapter on wire-level and users/roles security. </p> <p><strong>Q. What's the most exciting and important thing happening in this Java web services?</strong></p> <p>A. The distinction between traditional HTML-based websites and web services continues to blur. For one thing, modern websites typically contain JavaScript (in one dialect or another) embedded within the HTML; and embedded JavaScript is increasingly used to write clients against web services. </p> <p><strong>Q. Can you give us a few tips when getting started with Java Web Services?</strong></p> <p>A. 1. Traditional programming skills used to create Java-based websites using the JSP/ HttpServlet APIs transfer nicely to REST-style web services. The publication of a Java-based web service is essentially the same as that for a Java-based website (for example, a web server such as Tomcat or Jetty can be used for either). <br><br>2. Despite the growing popularity of REST-style services, SOAP-based services delivered over HTTP/HTTPS remain a programmer-friendly variant of REST-style services; and SOAP-based clients are typically easier to write than REST-style ones. <br><br>3. Programming a web service and then publishing it are nicely separated concerns: In general, how the service is programmed (for instance, the APIs used) has little or no impact on how the service is published (for instance, with a command-line publisher, a commercial-grade web server such as Tomcat, or a full-blown Java Application Server such as GlassFish or JBoss). <br><br>4. jQuery and other JavaScript dialects make it increasingly easy to embed web-service clients within HTML pages. <br><br>5. Securing a web service is essentially the same as securing a web site. </p> </div>sourceAmazon.com Review
