  • Make the Web work for you—with HP's open, Java, and XML-based software platform for creating and delivering Web services. Web Services: A Java Developer's Guide Using E-Speak is one of the first books focusing on service-centric computing. It is also the complete, authoritative guide to e-Speak technology. Written by two HP e-Speak experts, it covers all aspects of the service life cycle, while illuminating the broader technical and business issues associated with Internet service-based economies.

  • Web services: what they are, and how they can solve business problems

  • Enabling Internet-based services to find each other and interact programmatically, wherever they are—securely

  • E-Speak service development, deployment, and discovery

  • Comparative survey of competitive initiatives and technologies such as CORBA, J2EE, ebXML, UDDI, and .NET

  • Key concepts: client and service interactions, vocabularies, contracts, service composition; the multicore environment; persistence, events, messages, and HP's "E-Services Village" service registry

  • E-Speak's transformation into HP Web Services Platform—a standards-based, highly interoperable platform for Internet service delivery

  • Web Services: A Java Developer's Guide Using E-Speak contains Java code examples throughout. It also includes comprehensive case studies in supply chain management and location-based mobile services. Whatever Internet services you intend to deploy, this book is your complete blueprint for getting the job done.
