Since its emergence in 1998, the Simple Access Object Protocol (SOAP) has come to occupy a central place in today's breed of modular applications known as Web Services. Thanks to SOAP, all you need is a basic knowledge of XML to write programs that interact seamlessly with a growing number of online services providing currency conversion, user authentication, and more.

But for every service that has been implemented, there are many more that remain mere ideas.SOAP Programming with Java provides the foundation and skills for realizing those ideas as fully functional solutions. Building on your knowledge of XML and XML tools, you'll create your own SOAP-based services that use not only HTTP but also the services media of the future: Java Message Service (JMS), JavaSpaces, and JavaMail. You'll also graduate from wired to wireless development, learning how Web-enabled devices fit into the world of SOAP-based distributed computing.

All this detailed, practical coverage is presented within the framework of Java programming, allowing you to capitalize on the advantages Java offers. Whether you use this book as an introduction to Web Services development or as a tool for mastering particular techniques, it will equip you with a sound understanding and hard-to-find skills.
