The book seems to be better titled "Practical Web Service Implementation". Chapter 2 would have been better titled "Designing Web Services", and chapter 3 would have been better titled "UDDI".
I really didn't understand about the "data service" and "transaction service". As data services just services based on a simple query while transactional service are those involving transactions? In a typical modification process, we usually do a query to get the current data and do some modification and them commit the change. In this situation, are there 2 services to retrieve the current data - a data service just for an inquiry and transactional for the modification? And these two services are to be placed on a different servers? I, also, had trouble understanding "Combining design and deployment within a single registry/repository makes it difficult to manage service information across multiple deployment environment". Does this mean if the registry/repository does not support lifecycle management, it is better to separate design and deployment to multiple registry/repository.
