I was dissapointed by this book because it lacked any clear insight or coverage of the conceptual features of Web Services technology. I got the impression the author had little experience of other distributed RPC protocols/frameworks before coming to web services.


* Coverage of the difficult issue of marshalling objects between different languages and type systems was scare and scattered.


* Contained too many blocks of bland XML data and screenshots of Internet Explorer that added little value.


* Did not mention any problems/issues with Web Services technology, and came across a little evangelical.
