I am trying to develop client code for a vendor-provided service of a type I've never seen before. The vendor does not provide a WSDL, but they do provide an XSD schema definition, a URL, and a protocol document in which it is explained that the request parameters are provided as query parameters appended to the URL itself ?key1="value"&key2="value", etc. The XSD does not define a request packet but it does define the response packet.

Is there a name for this type of Web Service? (Is it even considered a Web Service?) And are there facilities in CXF (or other systems) for generating client code based on it? Or am I better off just writing my own parsers for the response?
