Hi
Thanks for your post.
* A SOAP client could work with a RESTful service implementation.
Yes it could. FYI every service deployed in Axis2 is exposed as both SOAP
and REST. Even the example I had posted in my blog entry
http://www.keith-chapman.org/2008/09/restfull-mashup-with-wsdl-20-wso2.html
http://www.keith-chapman.org/2008/09/restfull-mashup-with-wsdl-20-wso2.html
can be accessed over both SOAP and REST.
Sure. In CXF one can do the same without employing WSDL 2.0
Cheers, Sergey
Thanks,
Keith.

Hi
Are these mutually exclusive?
WSDL 1.1 is indeed pretty limited in what it can do
Or, is it common to have RESTful services that
actually have a WSDL definition?
Have a look at this blog entry :

I guess for CXF be able to generate document descriptions of the
(JAX-RS)
services, doing some
WADL support on the server side (auto-generation) would be a good step
forward. WADL is simple and effective language. WSDL 2.0 is a
much more complex 'beast', though more flexible too, it will let you
do
REST over TCP-IP if you'd like :-). For CXF evolving as a
strong platform for combining different types of services doing some
(minimal) WSDL 2.0 can be a possible option. I reckon if there
were now a WSDL2.0 aware client runtime wishing to talk REST to CXF,
then
it woudn't be too hard just to auto-generate some WSDL 2.0
instance off the JAX-RS-enabled resource class, in a request CXF
JAX-RS
filter...
Cheers, Sergey
