Summary: Improve WADL Generator Extensibility for ID generation
Key: CXF-6064
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6064
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JAX-RS
Affects Versions: 3.0.1
Reporter: Mikhail S
WADLGenerator class is not extensible and prevents extensions for simple
customizations.
Example: We would like to use custom IDs on the resource and methods. The
mechanism provided in CXF requires to either use {{@XmlRootElement}} or rely on
the default mechanism which will use fully qualified class name as the resource
ID.
Our beans are annotated with {{@WebService}} annotation (and other metadata) so
it would only require a slight extension of the WADL generator to utilize a
different strategy.
However, this task becomes quite unattainable given the current design of the
WADLGenerator. It basically requires to create (and maintain) a copy of the
class that extends WADL generator.
In general, WADL generator extensibility could be reviewed (at least private vs
protected methods, allowing additional strategy injection for ID generation
that defaults to some built-in strategy).
