How can I generate WADL for REST services

Question

I have a web application providing more than 30 REST services (using Jersey) to clients. Is it possible to automatically create a WADL document for my application?

I need this, so that I can have it configured in SoapUI for testing various scenarios and save it for later use.

Answer 1

If you are using Jersey then url to wadl would be something like

http://localhost:8080/applicationname/application.wadl

You may need to add the resource base into the url eg

http://localhost:8080/applicationname/resources/application.wadl

Answer 2

http://{host}:{port}/{context_root}/{resource}/application.wadl 

替换host 、 port 、 context root和resource 。

Answer 3

In the past I've used Enunciate ( GitHub repository ).

It's a build-time tool that generates Interface Definition Documents (WADL, WSDL, etc) automatically for you. It's really easy to integrate it in your Maven build.
