MashupCamp8DiscussionOnWADLNotes

From MashupCamp

A few things that we discussed:

• WADL vs WSDL2; at zembly we picked WADL as it's easier to write and captures the world of REST services sufficiently
• as for use cases: it's obviously tooling/runtimes, also auto-generation of client libraries for multiple languages; and auto-generation of functional tests
• at zembly, we needed to add a few extensions to capture authentication strategies (e.g. signing a request with MD5 signature); we'll be publishing information on this by the end of 2008
