mainly with AXIS. I've seen AXIS: The next generation of Java SOAP -- Romin
Irani, S Jeelani Basha (WROX) in some book stores. Has anyone read this
book? Would you recommend it?
It's a new book. There is a Sams press out that has the involvement of some
of the Axis team, so was accurate when it was written (a few months back);
things may have changed.
The Sams one, _Building Web Services With Java_, is a good guide to the
world of web services (XML, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, doc vs. rpc, service design,
etc.) and gives a nice architectural overview of Axis, but I wouldn't
recommend it for learning Axis. A *lot* of the basic stuff has changed
since Alpha 1 (at least for document-style services), and the book's
coverage of specific Axis APIs is slim to start with (understandably, since
it's not really a book about Axis and the APIs were under
development). I'm guessing the new Axis book would be better for learning
Axis itself. Still, the Sams book might be good to have around for general
reference.
