How to generate WADL file using Jersey 1.7

Question

I created a hello world REST service and now I d like to generate the WADL file.

I looked around and saw that I can do so by calling :

http://localhost:8090/application.wadl

However I dont get anything in my case. I am using Jersey 1.7 with Eclipse Indigo and running on Apache 7

I also tried calling :

http://localhost:8090/<myapplicattion_name>.wadl but still no result.

Is this feature supported by Jersey 1.7? If yes what do i do wrong?

The web.xml file looks like this:

Thank you

Answer 1

What is the name of your app in Apache, i.e., "context"? Assume the name is "restApp". Try this:

http://localhost:8090/restApp/application.wadl

Or, if you servlet mapping is:

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>RESTService</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/company/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

..it would be:

http://localhost:8090/restApp/company/rest/application.wadl
