Are there any tools for generating a WADL file?

Question

I've built a RESTful web service (I'm using asp.net 4, MVC 2) and I want to expose a WADL. Are there any tools built in or otherwise that I can use to build it? I'm not looking (yet) to generate classes to consume it I'm looking strictly for something that can generate the WADL file itself.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Looks like REST Describe & Compile should do the trick.

On the WADL developer site Marc Hadley maintains a command line tool named WADL2Java. The ambitious goal of REST Describe & Compile is to provide sort of WADL2Anything. So what REST Describe & Compile does is that it:

• Generates new WADL files in a completely interactive way.
• Lets you upload and edit existing WADL files.
• Allows you to compile WADL files to source code in various programming languages.

Answer 2

There is a maven plugin called maven-wadl-plugin by the jersey folks that does the trick.
