The Ultimate Guide for Designing and Governing Web Service Contracts For Web services to succeed as part of SOA, they require balanced, effective technical contracts that enable services to be evolved and repeatedly reused for years to come. Now, a team of industry experts presents the first end-to-end guide to designing and governing Web service contracts. Writing for developers, architects, governance specialists, and other IT professionals, the authors cover the following areas: Understanding Web Service Contract Technologies Initial chapters and ongoing supplementary content help even the most inexperienced professional get up to speed on how all of the different technologies and design considerations relate to the creation of Web service contracts. For example, a visual anatomy of a Web service contract documented from logical and physical perspectives is provided, along with a chapter dedicated to describing namespaces in plain English. The book is further equipped with numerous case study examples and many illustrations. Fundamental and Advanced WSDL Tutorial coverage of WSDL 1.1 and 2.0 and detailed descriptions of their differences is followed by numerous advanced WSDL topics and design techniques, including extreme loose coupling, modularization options, use of extensibility elements, asynchrony, message dispatch, service instance identification, non-SOAP HTTP binding, and WS-BPEL extensions. Also explained is how WSDL definitions are shaped by key SOA design patterns. Fundamental and Advanced XML Schema XML Schema basics are covered within the context of Web services and SOA, after which advanced XML Schema chapters delve into a variety of specialized message design considerations and techniques, including the use of wildcards, reusability of schemas and schema fragments, type inheritance and composition, CRUD-style message design, and combining industry and custom schemas. Fundamental and Advanced WS-Policy Topics, such as Policy Expression Structure, Composite Policies, Operator Composition Rules, and Policy Attachment establish a foundation upon which more advanced topics, such as policy reusability and centralization, nested, parameterized, and ignorable assertions are covered, along with an exploration of creating concurrent policy-enabled contracts and designing custom policy assertions and vocabularies. Fundamental Message Design with SOAP A broad range of message design-related topics are covered, including SOAP message structures, SOAP nodes and roles, SOAP faults, designing custom SOAP headers and working with industry-standard SOAP headers. Advanced Message Design with WS-Addressing The art of message design is taken to a new level with in-depth descriptions of WS-Addressing endpoint references (EPRs) and MAP headers and an exploration of how they are applied via SOA design patterns. Also covered are WSDL binding considerations, related MEP rules, WS-Addressing policy assertions, and detailed coverage of how WS-Addressing relates to SOAP Action values. Advanced Message Design with MTOM, and SwA Developing SOAP messages capable of transporting large documents or binary content is explored with a documentation of the MTOM packaging and serialization framework (including MTOM-related policy assertions), together with the SOAP with Attachments (SwA) standard and the related WS-I Attachments Profile. Versioning Techniques and Strategies Fundamental versioning theory starts off a series of chapters that dive into a variety of versioning techniques based on proven SOA design patterns including backward and forward compatibility, version identification strategies, service termination, policy versioning, validation by projection, concurrency control, partial understanding, and versioning with and without wildcards. Web Service Contracts and SOA The constant focus of this book is on the design and versioning of Web service contracts in support of SOA and service-orientation. Relevant SOA design principles and design patterns are periodically discussed to demonstrate how specific Web service technologies can be applied and further optimized. Furthermore, several of the advanced chapters provide expert techniques for designing Web service contracts while taking SOA governance considerations into account.

This is a practical, step-by-step guide to the tools, materials and skills involved in this popular craft - an invaluable source of reference for the wood carver. Beginning with a background history of the origins of sculpture, the author presents an informative guide to both the theoretical and practical sides of wood carving. From the improvization of tools to the many finishing techniques available, this book covers every aspect of the craft. Methods of seasoning, timber, design and scaling techniques and detailed descriptions of carving styles are all illustrated with drawings and photographs.

Advocates of the North American Free Trade Agreement have tried to convince the public of the benefits of the U.S. economic conquest of Canada. Because that is the true meaning of NAFTA as the author of this best-selling book shows in a convincing and insightful manner. 
In an effort to realize their grand dream of one nation from Panama to the Arctic, Americans have attempted to conquer Canadas land and spirit, using war, trade sanctions, and political interventions of all kinds. That fight for Canada continues to this day, says David Orchard. 
In this compelling and impassioned book, Orchard traces these developments in a way that makes our history fascinating, lively and relevant. He examines the early American invasions of Canada that were successfully repulsed by our ancestors, the U.S. annexation movements and the various trade proposals, including the 1911 free trade election that prompted Rudyard Kipling to write, It is her own soul Canada risks today. 
The occasions which almost led to Canada being absorbed by its powerful neighbour to the south are highlighted in a way that is well-documented and rivetting. 
Orchard examines in a new light the legacy of John A. Macdonald, George-Etienne Cartier, Louis Riel, Henri Bourassa, Pierre Trudeau, and others, explains the evolution, content, and effects of the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement and NAFTA, which he calls the new constitution of Canada, and outlines in plain language the danger to Canada they represent. Orchard also tackles the Meech Lake and Charlottetown accords and considers what lies ahead.
