 Read it and move on...
It's OK... it's nothing informative. I'd recommend buying some of the books that thoroughly cover SOAP and books that thoroughly cover Java + Web Services. This is nice and all but it just doesn't pack a meaningful punch.
 Consigned to the bottom of my bookshelf
1. Good coverage of SOAP
br /2. Uses GLUE (acquired by webMethods since acquired Software AG), which
br / is no longer available. As a result, when it's time to test your
br / Web Services, you are on your own.
br /3. Author's web site is non-existent, so you can't email him to find
br / errata/ work arounds.

br /My suggestion, buy a dfferent book (or if you like O'Reilly as I do,
br /buy it used. At least you won't pay as much). I am using
br /another O' Reilly book for SOAP Programming with Java.
 Excellent Beginner book for using SOAP for Java
With a lot of sample and figure, excellent for new guys on using Java on SOAP. Though printed in 2002 against SOAP 1.1, it's still very helpful.
 Good for newbies....
Overview -brSOAP is what makes the Web Services clock go around. In fact, SOAP can easily be used as a stand-alone channel without incurring the overheads of publish-find-and-bind cycle apparent in Web Services. Java's ever growing XML support makes it a language of choice for anyone considering implementing SOAP.pWhy you should read this book -brWhether you are writing a new SOAP service or simply using an existing one, understanding what happens under the bonnet helps make your system more robust.pWhat this book covers -brThis book covers almost everything you have to know about how Java supports the technology - core APIs, SOAP encoding, structure of SOAP messages, attachments, platform interoperability issues and some nice guidelines. It also includes some getting-started examples with two different SOAP servers- Apache and GLUE ? to help the reader understand how SOAP implementation differs. There is some introductory material covering JAX-RPC, JAXM, Apache Axis and WSDL. The chapters are well organized although the writing lacks reader-friendly approach.pCons -brThe book came out in May 2002 and hence a few things are out of date including SOAP spec and Apache implementation. Examples seem rather trivial and lack depth. Advanced SOAP programmers or those considering enterprise integration will be disappointed. Coverage on .NET interoperability is a far cry from even being introductory. I hope the next version of the book will adequately address real integration issues such as performance, transactions, and security. pAjith Kallambella br[...]
Nothing Special
This book came out from O'Reilly in Spring of 2002 about the same time they published Java Web Services. If these had been combined and editing together, they would have had a star book on their hands instead of two average books. I can't say anything particularly bad about this book, but nothing particularly good either. If you're getting started with Web Services using Java, this and the title above are both decent sources to get you going.
