Obsolete book
I am half way through this book and found the book to be obsolete by two versions of Java web services APIs. The APIs and code discussed in this book is not relevant in the current release of J2EE and Java web services bundle as well. The chapters are more disorganized and lacks the substance to make a real Java web services working. If you really want to create Java web services then this book is obsolete. Don't waste your money.

Worth the money!
Web Services are self-describing, modular applications. The Web Services architecture can be thought of as a wrapper for the application code. This wrapper provides standardized means of: describing the Web Service and what it does; publishing it to a registry, so that it can easily be located; and exposing an interface, so that the service can be invoked - all in a machine-readable format. What is particularly compelling about Web Services is that any client that understands XML, regardless of platform, language and object model, can access them. This book is probably quite good in that it sets out to explain some facts about java, web services and architecture. It's comprehensive in it's nature and tone. This book provides a snapshot of the current state of these rapidly evolving technologies, beginning by detailing the main protocols that underpin the Web Services model (SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI), and then putting this theory to practical use in a wide array of popular toolkits, platforms, and development environments. The technologies presented in this book provide the foundations of Web Services computing, which is set to revolutionize Distributed Computing, as we know it. If you haven't been exposed to this kind of software and the mind set that is involved with it you might do well to get hold of this publication and read it from cover to cover.

J2EE Developer's companion for Web services
This is by far the best book on Java web services published so far. Unlike other books this one doesn't waste any chapters with theoretical content. Almost all the chapters are covered in depth with examples. I especially like the fact that the book does not waste time on explaining the Sun Web services pack repeatedly. This book keeps the focus on web services technologies by doing the coding in a notepad like environment-where you write all the code, make mistakes, stumble, and in the process, learn. If you have a web services project to demonstrate this is a best companion to jump start your work.
