Announcing wadl.dev.java.net

I'm pleased to announce the formation of a new project on java.net for the development of WADL and associated tools: http://wadl.dev.java.net/. The goals of the project are spelled out here.

I've primed the pump with an initial release of a tool that generates Java stubs for Web applications described using WADL. Also included is a sample application that demonstrates use of the tool with the Yahoo News Search Service. The code implements the ideas I blogged here but is still beta quality. I'm hoping public availability will help flush out the bugs and highlight areas that need more work.

If you are interested in WADL and would like to help then please consider joining the project - there are many ways to contribute.

• Now we need a Rails generator to create REST-based controllers from a WADL descriptor. Shouldn't take more than a couple hours for someone familiar with Rails generators, should it?

• Maybe the jRuby guys would be willing to do this? Not that there is anything "jRuby-specific" but they also work for Sun... I think it would be very nice. - eduard/o

• Unless I'm mistaken I think it was one of the JRuby guys that pasted the suggestion.
