The book covers Web Services using the mainstream Java APIs, i.e., JAX-WS, JAXB, JSR-181, and JSR-109.

If you use Spring with XFire and/or Spring with XFire and JSR-181, the book will be helpful.

It does not cover Spring Web Services.

Dear Mr Mark

thanks for the reply

The book covers Web Services using the mainstream Java APIs, i.e., JAX-WS, JAXB, JSR-181, and JSR-109.

good, i think that this is the basis to learn this new topic, JWS

If you use Spring with XFire and/or Spring with XFire and JSR-181, the book will be helpful.

cool, i am sure that this book will be useful for me

It does not cover Spring Web Services.

maybe for other edition

again, how i said, i am in nothing about JWS, so i must learn this from the scratch, so i will see if with my cousin we can buy your sugested book in other threads

thanks so much for your time

best wishes
