Restful Java with Jax-RS
by
Bill Burke
Learn how to design and develop distributed web services in Java using RESTful architectural principals and the JAX-RS specification in Java EE 6. With this hands-on reference, you'll focus on implementation rather than theory, and discover why the RESTful method is far better than technologies like CORBA and SOAP.

Book was resourceful. It is good for beginners and intermediates.
Principles of REST architecture are simple in first read but if you have worked with servlets before, then it will add to the confusion. I think if author has given some better examples in the book, might have helped me more. I re-read some chapters to understand the concepts better.
Concepts were explained in detail with examples. I find the topic Asynchronous JAS-RS and HATEOAS a little confusing and explanation didn't help much, ...more

Easy, practical and comprehensive.
This is just a quick write up for now -- I plan to write a more thorough review of this later. While I do have some quibbles about some of the things Burke did not cover in this book or that he glossed over, I would say that this is a must read for anyone working with webservices in the Java world. It is far more complete and comprehensive than any of the tutorials available on JAX-RS and made me aware of a lot of capabilities I had failed to uncover in previous investigations.
A fantastic overview and one of the better Java books I've ever read.
Good to begin with REST concepts and JAX-RS fundamentals. May not be very helpful for advance implementations.
