-----------------------------------------
Summary: Support usage of WADL instead of the JAX-RS annotated
class
Key: CXF-5830
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-5830
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JAX-RS
Reporter: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
Right now, to create a REST service (directly in CXF or using camel-cxf in a
Camel route), we have to provide a JAX-RS annotated class.
It's required by both server/consumer endpoint, but also for client/producer
endpoint.
It would be great to use a WADL instead of the annotated class, as we do with
the WSDL for SOAP services.
The CXFRS client can be invoked in a web client mode where no class is needed.
However, it would be great to optimize it a bit, say pass WSDL document, may be
some XPath expression to a given request and let it happen.
This can work in a typeless response mode for GETs so we'd get all the info
from WADL and then provide JAX-RS response. Or may be even in a type mode if we
know "Book" (some concrete model) is returned.
Once it's supported by CXF, I will enhance the camel-cxfrs component to use
directly a WADL without the JAX-RS annotated class.
