Introduction to Web Services with Java

 This book focuses more on the details of a hands-on approach to Web Service programming than its specifications; however, in order to help readers grasp the concept more easily, we provide a brief introduction to Web Service, SOAP, and WSDL in the first three chapters. Many details of the specifications are intentionally glossed over, however, so that the content remains manageable.
