Web Service Platform Architecture

July 30, 2005 at 12:27 · Filed under Web Services

It is pretty difficult to find one’s way in all the WS-* specifications. Recently, I’ve picked up a copy of Web Service Platform Architecture, which provides an excellent overview of all the current and upcoming Web Service standards.

The book is written by Weerawarana, Curbera, Leymann, Storey, and Ferguson, all of which are in some way affiliated with IBM, and some with Axis. Besides providing an excellent introduction into Service-Oriented Architectures, the book covers the following specifications:

  • SOAP 1.1 and 1.2
  • WSDL 1.1 and 2.0
  • WS-Adressing
  • WS-Policy
  • UDDI
  • WS-MetadataExchange
  • WS-Reliable Messaging
  • Transactions
    • WS-Coordination
    • WS-Atomic Transactions
    • WS-Business Activity

  • Security

    • WS-Security
    • WS-Trust
    • WS-SecureConversation
    • WS-Privacy
    • WS-Federation
    • WS-Authorization

  • BPEL

A great addition to my bookshelf. Go ahead and purchase a copy now!
