Books for CXF web service

Apache CXF web service Development

Do you use Apache CXF? If so, you might take an interest in "Apache CXF Web Service Development".

The book does a good job of covering CXF use cases, going beyond the usual trivial Jax-WS examples. It also covers Jax-RS (RESTful) web services, and covers each in enough detail that you're likely to find what you need when working with CXF.

Jax-WS has largely demystified basic web service development, so there's a great amount of content on the web that will show you how to quickly annotate a POJO to get a web service up and running. But what if you need to do contract-first (top down) development? Lightweight resources often conveniently bypass this more difficult trail, but this book does a good job of handling it. (This is no great accomplishment for a book on web service development, but it does set the tone for the types of things this book will show.)

It also covers restful web services. I'd say a Java developer either currently using or wanting to use Apache CXF. The book isn't a complete reference for CXF, but it does introduce all the important topics. Once introduced, there's enough content to either solve your problem or at least educate you enough to effectively research what remains.

This book can be found here.

Some good books on java concurrency

(Though old now, it is still good. The author is God of Concurrency in java but this book is written by a genius but not so good author)










Art of multiprocessing programming

Though this book is mainly about good practices in java, still it has some good practices which will help you in writing concurrent code.

Free downloadable tech books

http://www.freetechbooks.com/
As you'd expect, the list includes a lot of stale and/or not-very-valuable titles, but there's also a lot of genuinely worthwhile stuff there. Judging from their "most popular" list, the site is a big hit with C++ programmers. But there are also few free Java books, and lots of timeless reference material for programmers of all stripes.
