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
