How to generate Java classes from REST

Question

With SOAP WebSevices and WSDL it's very easy to generate a Java WebService client with wsimport.

Is there a similar way to do this for Java REST clients?

Thanks, Simon

Take a look at Alchemy Rest Client Generator. It can generate a jersey 2.0 java client for your JAX-RS REST services by integrating into your server builds.

The client will mimic the exact service API. However this project does not yet support WADL and does not handle marshalling and demarshalling of your transfer objects.
