Re: [wtp-dev] REST in WTP?

[Keith Chong <kchong@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Check the WTP newsgroups as well regarding
support for REST and JAX-RS, since there have been discussions about these
topics.  I've opened  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=275011
to track this work.

Ugh, WRDL, not another one.

I think that the REST community are keen to remove themselves entirely
from
the shackles of WSDL-like description, even WADL has not really penetrated
to any major extent that I can see (although such things are useful
for automated
testing tools and documentation).

No, if one was to do REST tools in Eclipse, it would be better approached
to
have some kind of mapping to a programming model like JAX-RS, and something
like a form-based editor for resource planning.

The annotations framework in the JAXWS project has minor support in that
you
can write an extension for the JAXRS annotations, and provide validations
rules
for their use.
