Not sure how convenient it would be, it really depends on a particular implementation, but as an idea it could be at least thought of. Sounds a little bit crazy though, I recognize it :). Also please no. If you want “automatic client” stop being “REST” (which has been diluted to be meaningless or at least nothing like it’s actual definition) and be REST and/or Hypermedia. Things like WADL are completely antagonistic to actual REST (aka Hypermedia). ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
