Hi Demetris, You definitely can tell whether a service has a REST endpoint from its WSDL 2.0 description - that's the point! REST is typically taken as XML over HTTP but it's valid to have other data types sent as well. In the WSDL 2.0 document you'll want to inspect the bindings to see if there is an HTTP binding and may want to inspect the content being delivered as well. Here is an example document with HTTP bindings:

On a related note and a question that came up - Would a simple inspection of a WSDL 2.0 document reveal with great certainty that such a document describes a REST service vs a SOAP. I would assume this is trivial as certain keywords across such documents can determine the type of service accessed but I wanted to run this by the list and see if this is indeed the case.
