Title: A Tactical Book
Review: This book is a messaging technology book (as the small print states.) Thus, it's all about using messaging systems for "enterprise integration" and does not go deeply into other tech such as Web services and transactions. You should know that before you plunk down the bucks for this hard back. Also understand that we're talking about technology that is over a dozen years old, nothing really new here.The title should be "Designing, Building, and Deploying Messaging Solutions," minus the "Enterprise Integration Patterns." Would have saved me some money, I hope you don't make the same mistake.
