> Right now, to create a REST service (directly in CXF or using camel-cxf in a Camel route), we have to provide a JAX-RS annotated class.
> It's required by both server/consumer endpoint, but also for client/producer endpoint.
> It would be great to use a WADL instead of the annotated class, as we do with the WSDL for SOAP services.
> The CXFRS client can be invoked in a web client mode where no class is needed. However, it would be great to optimize it a bit, say pass WSDL document, may be some XPath expression to a given request and let it happen.
> This can work in a typeless response mode for GETs so we'd get all the info from WADL and then provide JAX-RS response. Or may be even in a type mode if we know "Book" (some concrete model) is returned.
> Once it's supported by CXF, I will enhance the camel-cxfrs component to use directly a WADL without the JAX-RS annotated class.
