Re: [Mailman-Developers] Using REST Interface and WADL

Quoting Barry Warsaw <barry@list.org>:
I went to read up some more on WADL and ran into this: http://bitworking.org/news/193/Do-we-need-WADL
I don't have any plans(yet) on auto generating the WADL, or did you
mean auto generating the documentation from the WADL file? Are there
tools that do that? I didn't find any such.
Currently I'm returning human readable text containing something like
documentation when you request the xHTML representation. I've seen
this done before and figured it was a pretty good idea. It is of no
use of course if you want to auto generate a client, as you would from
a description file.
Anyone else have any opinions or experiences with WADL?

Thanks, I hadn't seen that before.
I'm not aware of any tools to automatically build clients from a WADL
description. Personally, I'm rather skeptical it can be done, or at
least done well. I've had far too many experiences looking at
horrible generated code to have much hope of it being a fruitful
avenue. I really only asked because I've talked to a few other folks
about it w.r.t. different applications, so I was interested in getting
your opinion on it.
Thanks,
