Hi
Are these mutually exclusive?
WSDL 1.1 is indeed pretty limited in what it can do
Or, is it common to have RESTful services that actually have a WSDL definition?
Have a look at this blog entry : http://www.keith-chapman.org/2008/09/restfull-mashup-with-wsdl-20-wso2.html I guess for CXF be able to generate document descriptions of the (JAX-RS) services, doing some WADL support on the server side (auto-generation) would be a good step forward. WADL is simple and effective language. WSDL 2.0 is a much more complex 'beast', though more flexible too, it will let you do REST over TCP-IP if you'd like :-). For CXF evolving as a strong platform for combining different types of services doing some (minimal) WSDL 2.0 can be a possible option. I reckon if there were now a WSDL2.0 aware client runtime wishing to talk REST to CXF, then it woudn't be too hard just to auto-generate some WSDL 2.0 instance off the JAX-RS-enabled resource class, in a request CXF JAX-RS filter... Cheers, Sergey
