Praise for this Book
“This compendium is the new bible for WS-* design and SOA. The structured approach
allows beginners, experts and executives to understand and execute successfully on an
SOA Strategy. Thomas Erl and his team did once again a great job.”
—Sascha Kuhlmann
Global Program Lead Enterprise Architecture, SAP
“A first-rate and in-depth dive into service contract and interface design that elaborates
on the best book in the field, SOA Principles of Service Design. Over the years Thomas’s
books have provided a foundation for defining our SOA standards (for over 200 serv-
ices) and contain the latest material and case studies which comprise the singular most
important advice for those implementing large-scale SOAs.”
—Bob Hathaway
Senior SOA Architect
SOA Object Systems, Starwood Hotels

“Anyone tasked with publishing and evolving Web services ‘contract first’ will welcome
this book, packed full of authoritative explanations and advice from authors who truly
understand their subject.”
—Paul Downey
Chief Web Services Architect, BT
“This book is an excellent resource for anybody trying to get a comprehensive under-
standing of the technical foundation of Web services based service-oriented architecture.
It is written by the experts who have worked on the development of the underlying
world-wide standards.”
—Michael Bechauf
Vice President of Standards Strategy and Developer Programs, SAP AG

“This book is a great guide to designing Web service contracts. All aspects of contract
design one encounters in real-life SOA projects are described clearly and in detail by the
authors. Whether it concerns namespaces, versioning mechanisms, schemas or policies,
this book tells you how to deal with them.
“An absolute must-read for every architect and developer involved in SOA projects.”
—Linda Terlouw
Solution Architect, Ordina
Researcher, Delft University of Technology
“Web Service Contract Design and Versioning for SOA is a clear, authoritative, and inte-
grated treatment of the five W3C specifications that form the core of classic Web service
description: XML Schema, SOAP, WSDL, WS-Policy, and WS-Addressing. Its authors
include committee members who developed these specifications as well as recognized
experts in this field.
“This book is both an excellent starting point for developers who are seeking to acquire
Web service design skills and a reference for experienced designers who want to under- ptg
stand the finer points of this topic. The advanced material on designing flexible message
formats and on versioning contracts is especially relevant for building Web services that
can evolve gracefully over time.”
—Arthur Ryman
Distinguished Engineer, IBM
“While service-orientation is delivering on its promises in many organizations, service
contracts must withstand the evolution of maturing service-oriented enterprises. The
expert design advice in this work enables enterprise architects to build flexibility into
service interfaces and meet the needs of the dynamic modern technology organization.
“From WSDL and schema design to advanced WS-Policy and WS-Addressing, the
authors simplify complex topics through practical, plain-English examples that will
benefit anyone responsible for service design and delivery.”
