I just added a new chapter to my "Killer Game Programming in Java" website. It's about programming techniques for writing standalone Java programs that employ Web-based service APIs for searching Google, Amazon, eBay, and Yahoo. As a test-bed, I've implemented an application which sends a book title to a service, and gets back a PNG image of the book's cover. I've written five versions: one each for Google, Amazon, and eBay, and two aimed at Yahoo.
