Rest service with WCF and wsdl definition

Question

i read on the net that there is no wsdl definition for REST services and also that in WCF we can use webHttpBinding to create restful services. I downloaded SOA cleaner software to test my services and its screen confused me a littel. Plz have a look at following shot Now look that webHttpBinding is selected which is supposed to be a REST service and this software is asking for wsdl definition of this service. However if i switch to second option which is Plain Http(s) /REST it only requires a url to communicate with that service. Does REST have a wsdl or doesn't webHttpBinding provide REST service?

Answer 1

REST Services can only be described by by WADL or WSDL 2.0 which is not supported by WCF. This stackoverflow thread my help you out.
