Erl T. et al. Web Service Contract Design and Versioning for SOA

SOA Systems Inc., 2009. – 847 p.Enter this book. It is about technologies and practices related to designing and governing Web service contracts in support of SOA and service-orientation. Written by experts who have themselves contributed to the creation and development of the WS-* specifications, this book provides guidance to demonstrate how the most relevant Web service contract technologies work together as a framework—insight that all too often gets left behind on the cutting room floor after countless conference calls and face-to-face meetings among working groups, technical committees, task forces, and sub-committees.
The book further helps the reader to understand how the WS-* technologies can be best leveraged and evolved in support of SOA and service-orientation.Case Study Background.Part I
