Out of date material
All the steps have to be run on Axis 1.3 and eclipse 3.0 to make this book useful. Most of the steps won't work on Axis2 and eslipse 3.2. The readers need to have good knowledge on Axis2 to make the steps work.
Succinct and Useful
Honestly, my first impression of the book's content was disappointing; however, I stayed with it and the book proved very helpful. If one wants a handy quick start, I'd recommend it strongly. Despite a less than stellar command of the English language and its usage, the author does well explaining things through illustration and example. The book follows a logical progression from installation to deployment, and beyond. If you are new or just want some additional information/insight about Apache Axis, buy it!
Very concise practical and to the point book
This book is very concise practical and to the point book. The author doesn't waste his time in talking about abstract details of web services. He goes right to the practical implementation of web services using Axis in a very tutorial way. Itz good for people just starting on webservices and want to get to know in a quick fast and practical way.
A good book from basic to advance.
I find this book very good. In the first chapter the author explained the structure of SOAP/XML which is the most fundamental part of Axis, and as the book go on, he provided examples that are very easy to follow and learn.
The way the author layout the content of the book is excellent!
I'm waiting for the author to come up with a book on AXIS2, and I'd be the first one to buy it.
Great Book For Beginners
I have read the first 40 pages of this book and I am convinced that this will be a great book. The author uses very simple, easy to follow language which make it a great beginner read.
