Product Description
With the introduction of increasingly complex Web services over the last decade, there has been an explosion of interest in service-oriented architecture (SOA), a structural style whose goal is to achieve a coupling of interacting services - functionalities such as filling out an online application for an account, viewing an online bank statement, or placing an online booking or airline ticket order. These services operate through specific interfaces that control and define their operation. However, due to the evolving nature of enterprises, new services and applications must often be incorporated into these same interfaces. Such incorporation can be costly and complex if the original interface is inflexible or incompatible with the technology utilized by the new applications.
In his new book, data architecture guru James Bean teaches you exactly how to design web service interfaces that are capable of being extended to accommodate ever changing business needs and promote incorporation simplicity. The book first provides an overview of critical SOA principles, thereby offering a basic conceptual summary. The book then provides explicit, tactical, and real-world techniques for ensuring compliance with these principles. Using a focused, tutorial-based approach the book provides working syntactical examples - described by Web services standards such as XML, XML Schemas, WSDL and SOAP - that can be used to directly implement interface design procedures, thus allowing you immediately generate value from your efforts. In summary, SOA and Web Services Interface Design provides the basic theory, but also design techniques and very specific implementable encoded interface examples that can be immediately employed in your work, making it an invaluable practical guide to any practitioner in today's exploding Web-based service market.
- Provides chapters on topics of introductory WSDL syntax and XML Schema syntax, taking take the reader through fundamental concepts and into deeper techniques and allowing them to quickly climb the learning curve.
- Provides working syntactical examples - described by Web services standards such as XML, XML Schemas, WSDL and SOAP - that can be used to directly implement interface design procedures.
- Real-world examples generated using the Altova XML Spy tooling reinforce applicability, allowing you to immediately generate value from their efforts.
- A companion website with all artwork and code examples accompanies the book.

Enterprise SOA Information Architecture Essentials July 30, 2010

James publication, "XML for Data Architects" is an invaluable desk reference for any Enterprise Architect developing canonical information models for a messaging platform.
The book, "SOA nad Web Services Interface Design" uses a similar accessible style to present a methodology and techniques for canonical XML message design. Architects utilising industry information standards including ACORD and TM Forum SID (or IBM's FSDM / IAA) would benefit greatly from the insights provided in this publication
Compelling and a must read for an advanced SOA practitioner... December 13, 2009

This body of work breaks new ground in the subject of "service" design patterns, schema extension patterns that are crucial to addressing the concerns that many organizations in their advanced stages of SOA maturity are starting to encounter. Key questions answered - how do I extend my "services" to accommodate changing business needs so as to a) not be disruptive to my business, b) be adaptive c) be cost effective. Simply stated, organizations that have been through initial SOA deployments are starting to ask the following questions: how do I create newer "service" offerings by extending already deployed "services" such that I do not break existing service contracts and I do not have to create new deployment instances of these newly versioned "services".
The book delves a number of areas that are key to service design and development such as canonical models. I believe vendors responsible for developing tools for SOA would benefit from the patterns described in this text.
SOA and Web Services Interface Design - Review November 23, 2009

As a SOA practitioner I found James Bean's book extremely useful.
In the definition phases of a project the book helps identifying fundamental aspects of the overall Enterprise Service Oriented Architecture. SOA principles, design and technical solutions are clearly illustrated and supported by examples, while topics like service contracts, canonical message design, message structure, reuse and performance are addressed.
"SOA and Web Services Interface Design" is also a resource in the construction steps of the SOA, suggested patterns and techniques are applicable in both logical and physical service design. Just to mention some, I appreciated the transformation to resolve data impedance, XML schema design patterns, schema extensions and versioning.
To conclude, I think the book can also be beneficial for enterprise architects, application architect and SOA designers approaching SOA: introductory sections, in depth views and examples make the content comprehension effective.

Review - SOA and Web Services Interfaces Design December 13, 2009
Balaganesan Swaminathan (Arizona)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Most of the SOA books that I have read associate themselves to a particular technology stack such as BizTalk or WebSphere. In doing so, they end up explaining how a SOA principle or feature is implemented using this technology (How-to). In doing so, they reduce their shelf-life.
This is the first book that addresses the underlying principles, concepts (What) and their purpose (Why). It provides a detailed explanation of these concepts, associated best practices, comparative advantages of various techniques, SOA governance and message error handling. This book closely aligns itself with standards.
This book does not assume that the reader is a novice or an expert in SOA. Every chapter is built with detailed examples.
With his extensive research and thought leadership, the author has proven himself to be an authoritative figure in SOA space.
Whether you want to learn the best way to design SOA services or to expand your understanding in a particular service design concept, this book is a must read.
It will be a reference source in my library for years to come.
SOA and Web Services Interface Design - Review December 20, 2009

An excellent book.
It begins with a comprehensive introduction to SOA and Web Services concepts and principles. It then takes the reader on a logical progression through all the key topics, providing incremental exposure to explicit detail, while maintaining alignment with the core principals defined at the outset.
Extensive use of detailed technical examples, combined with real world business examples throughout, result in an excellent tutorial that maintains its focus on the key component to success with SOA and Web Services - the interface.
In my current role of leading design teams in standing up an enterprise SOA, I found this book extremely helpful on several levels, from communicating SOA and Web Services concepts and fundamentals to business executives and analysts, to understanding the challenges of, and associated best practices and patterns used by, designers and developers.
The bottom line: This book delivers as advertised, I highly recommend it.
