The definitive guide to SOA

A good book in a good state. There are some anotations in the book, but that is fine.

This book started really good, but I could see 3 distinct style of writing. I was really impressed until I reached chapter 9 which is about security.

What I like the most about this book is that the book explains more about HOW to use ALSB to create and manage web services than just how to use ALSB which you can learn by reading the documentation. I had played around with ALSB a few weeks before getting this book but had difficulty understanding some of the concepts and best practices.
