Building Web Services with Java: Making Sense of XML, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI, 2nd Edition
Building Web Services with SOAP, XML, and UDDI assumes proficiency with Java and with distributed computing tools. Throughout the book, examples will be presented using Java and the Apache SOAP platform, although a set of sidebars will address .NET development, which Microsoft developers will use to deploy Web services. The book uses progressive disclosure to present an increasingly complex project as it moves through its development cycle. The final section of the book presents linking the completed project with other systems built in J2EE and .NET.

This chapter examines the origins of XML and dives into issues like document vs. data-centric XML, instances, namespaces and document type definitions. We also get some insights into the best approach for XML schemas and processing best-practices. With 80+ information-packed pages and ample code samples, this is a beefy overview recommended for anyone working with XML.
