Overview "It's a fact the .NET and
Java platforms exist in the enterprise with many touch points.
Developers are very eager for information and examples on how the
two environments can coexist. This book reflects our
interoperability collaboration with Sun and provides best practices
for using Web services to bridge .NET and Java
applications."
—DAN'L LEWIN
corporate
vice-president,
Developer
& Platform Evangelism, Microsoft Corp.
"This book is a developer handbook for
implementing interoperable applications and services. It includes
actionable strategies for developers and best practices from the
field experience."
—GREG
PAPADOPOULOS
chief
technology officer, Sun Microsystems
"A comprehensive, practical guide to
developing applications that cross the Java EE .NET
boundary."
—BILL

director
business alliances, Sun Microsystems
"Efficient, effective interoperability
between Java EE and .NET is a crucial element in the IT
architecture of large enterprises and is vital to running a
successful business. This book takes interoperability to the next
level, far beyond the cold coexistence of systems, by describing
effective strategies that allow you to achieve true
interoperability while reducing complexity in your applications and
your data center. Additionally, it provides examples and practical
advice on how to achieve this new level of interoperability and
covers in depth all of the options available from bridging, to
porting, to platform unification. The costs that this can save you,
from management, maintenance and server consolidation are very
significant."
—YAACOV COHEN
chief
executive officer, Mainsoft
"A complete and up-to-date coverage of
Java EE .NET security interoperability standards and related
specifications."

coauthor of
"Web SSO MEX Specification"
Evolving Web services standards and
technologies offer limited interoperability when it comes to
security, management, and other important application
characteristics. Successful interoperability solutions require
comprehensive integration strategies that go beyond simple
connections. The capability to mitigate security and reliability
risks and transactional support is critical to
interoperability.
Java EE and .NET Interoperability
addresses issues encountered during the integration process, such
as a diverse technology set, incompatible APIs, and disparate
environment maintenance. The experienced authors outline
strategies, approaches, and best practices, including messaging,
Web services, and integration-related frameworks and patterns. The
book also introduces readers to Service Oriented Architecture
(SOA), the building block for scalable and reliable enterprise
integration solutions.
This indispensable book provides the Java EE
and .NET developer community with multiple strategies to integrate
between Java EE and .NET platforms that save developers time and
effort. Applying proven interoperability solutions significantly
reduces the application development cycle. Coverage includes
· Effective
Java EE–.NET integration strategies and best practices
· Detailed
enterprise coverage, as well as standalone Java EE component
integration with .NET
· SOA as a
building block for Java EE–.NET interoperability
·
Interoperability security issues and risk mitigation
· Managing
reliability, availability, and scalability for Web services built
on Java EE and .NET
· The latest
interoperability standards and specifications, including Web SSO
MEX and WS-Management
· Current
interoperability technologies, such as Windows Communication
Foundation, WSE 3.0, JAX-WS, and Enterprise Service Bus
