Hi,
I have a couple of further questions about CXF and the WADL generation.
1. Is it possible to obtain a WADL file from CXF offline, e.g. without a
running JEE container?
Do you refer to the possibility of auto-generating WADL as part of the
build process ? No, we can't do it yet.
So far I've been thinking that if a user does want to avoid the
auto-generation at runtime then a WADL document needs to be created
manually (to be linked later from jaxrs:server) and also distributed
offline if needed.
2. Are the following transformations (from service interface to WADL)
the most we can obtain?
@POST
<T extends AbstractSchemaTO> Response create(@PathParam("kind")
AttributableType attrType,
@PathParam("type") SchemaType schemaType, T schemaTO);
becomes
<method name="POST" id="create">
<request>
<representation mediaType="application/octet-stream"/>
</request>
<response>
<representation mediaType="application/octet-stream"/>
</response>
</method>
As you can see there is no 'element' information into
request/representation; or
@GET
<T extends AbstractSchemaTO> List<T> list(
@PathParam("kind") AttributableType attrType,
@PathParam("type") SchemaType schemaType);
becomes
<method name="GET" id="list">
<request/>
<response>
<representation mediaType="application/octet-stream"/>
</response>
</method>
In this case there is no 'element' information into
response/representation.
this needs to be investigated; the immediate problem might be is that
WADLGenerator also needs to be tuned a bit to properly manage all those
generic declarations; now, once we move beyond that, we can probably get
a schema generated now that we have @XmlType element only supported
(assuming AbstractSchemaTO has @XmlType),
but that can actually produce a wrong document because the generated
schema won't match the actual elements (subclasses of AbstractSchemaTO).
I don't know, may be if AbstractSchemaTO will also have @XmlSeeAlso
listing the possible substitutions then we can generate the proper
schema element from AbstractSchemaTO only, needs to be explored.
