Our take

Based on the ratings of 10,039 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a long, methodical tour through Java web services, from XML and WSDL basics up through SOAP with Apache CXF and REST with JAX-RS and Spring Boot. Bharath Thippireddy built it for developers who already know Java and want the full picture, not just a REST tutorial. At over 17 hours across 338 lectures, it covers WS-Security, OAuth, error handling, and even a full clinical data project with a React front end and AWS deployment.

Reviewers consistently praise the pacing. Lectures are short and focused, the notes are clear, and one reviewer notes that Bharath responds to questions promptly. Students say the hands-on exercises make abstract WSDL and XML schema concepts click. The complaints cluster around age: the ReactJS and AWS sections use older syntax, one reviewer flags a Spring Tool Suite and jaxb-to-jakarta mismatch, and a couple mention subtitles that fall out of sync.

At the price of a couple of coffees, and against more than 10,000 reviews holding a 4.6 average, it is hard to argue with the value. It is not the course for someone who only wants REST or already lives in Spring Boot day to day. But for a Java developer who needs to actually understand SOAP, WSDL, and REST security together, this is one of the more complete options on Udemy.

Best forJava developers who want SOAP and REST covered end to end, with real projects and security.
Skip it ifYou want a quick REST-only primer or already know Spring Boot REST inside out.

Pros

  • Covers SOAP and REST together, including WS-Security and OAuth
  • Short, focused lectures reviewers say never drag
  • One reviewer says the instructor responds to questions promptly
  • Includes a full project with React front end and AWS deployment

Cons

  • ReactJS and AWS sections use older syntax, reviewers say
  • Some Spring Tool Suite steps clash with newer jaxb/jakarta setups
  • Subtitles fall out of sync in spots
The instructor is attentive to any doubts or questions that arise during the course and responds promptly.
Aldo Gabriel Dos Santos, a student

Listed as All Levels, but really suits Java developers comfortable with core syntax, not total beginners.

It is definitely a very good course for Web service learns/freshers. I am just reducing half star as the courses on ReactJS and AWS are little old and the members who are looking at these courses for the first time will feel difficult to understand the full course. For ReactJS course you can mention can mention the version of each package that you have used in the course you have explained could have helped the learner to pick the particular package and understand the section. Apart from those 2 sections it will definitely deserves 5 star.
