如何为 Spring REST 服务生成 WADL

Question

Hi I am working with Spring 3.5.0.Release. I want to generate a WADL for my spring rest service. Is their any functionality in Spring by which i can easily generate the WADL.

Answer 1

Spring REST does not come with out of the box WADL generator like JERSEY However it should be pretty easy to get it done.

See Blogpost https://javattitude.wordpress.com/2014/05/26/wadl-generator-for-spring-rest/

Answer 2

You can use Swagger-SpringMVC, which will automatically integrate Swagger compliant API-docs into your application.

Version 1.0.2 is stable and supports Swagger 1.2.

Version 2.0.0 is currently under development and will support Swagger 2.0.

The api-docs will be accessible using http://localhost:8080/api-docs then.

You can also use Swagger-UI to access the API-docs and you can generate the client code using Swagger-Codegen.
