RE: Integrating WADL and Spring
Hi all, This is a good idea indeed. I've made a first step by updating WadlApplication to make it easy to customize the way resources are created based on the WADL resource descriptor, as suggested by Rhett.

Rhett Hi, The current way WADL works in Restlet is to require implementors to specify the class of the resource you want to map a WADL resource to using the resource's id attribute. You then pass the the WADL xml as a constructor argument to a WadlComponent or WadlApplication. You can see an example of this in org.restlet.test.YahooSearch.wadl (omitting the details in the example below): application resources base=http://api.search.yahoo.com/NewsSearchService/V1/; resource id=org.restlet.test.NewsSearchResource path=newsSearch /resource /resources /application It would be cool if you could do something similar but instead of passing a Resource class (and be stuck using the default constructor etc.), instead use a Spring Bean id as the resource id in WADL, and have restlet use spring to wire all the resources together, thus getting all the benefits of IOC, while also being able to more explicitly state your resource interface in a standard method. Anyway i can open an RFE if necessary, but I wanted to ask on the list first. This is a good idea. I think the implementation might be more generic than just spring support, so I went ahead and entered the RFE against the WADL component: http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=756 Thanks, Rhett -- http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447dsMessageId=12864 20 -- http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447dsMessageId=1297634
Re: Integrating WADL and Spring
It would be nice if you could allow more fine grain configuration support via WADL, including adding Guards to resources, configuring what methods and variants a resource supports via WADL etc. I added some technical suggestions in the bug itself. dave On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 10:02 AM, Jerome Louvel jerome.lou...@noelios.com wrote: Hi all, This is a good idea indeed.

Integrating WADL and Spring
Hi All, I've been playing around with Restlet for some projects I'm working on and have really enjoyed the platform. I'm wondering if there is a way to define your service in a WADL document but still use Spring to configure all your applications Resources, etc. In the abstract what I would like to do is is define a WADL but instead of using ID's which map to Java classes, map them to Spring bean ids, essentially use WADL as a replacement for SpringRouter. Any suggestions? Is this an RFE? Thanks, Dave -- http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447dsMessageId=1278554
