Hi Sergey
1. Do you see a future option to custom the WADL generator class during the
maven build? If so, what is a reasonable timeline for this? (Just to know how
to plan ahead)
2. Regarding the "classResourceNames" and multiple WADL files question, i think
i was misunderstood, it is not that each rest class holds 1 service, i meant
that each rest class holds
1 business with few operations.
For example, 1 class holds books operations, another class holds
teachers operations and another class will hold course operations - so our
expectation is that we should have
3 separate WADLs generated - what do you think?
Thanks,
Eyal

Well, actually i was referring to applicative error codes (and their
descriptions) - that might be useful by users so can they understand the exact
issue
Thanks,

That said, while customizing a response serialization in order to show the
extra statuses can help users see them, one can document it as well.
For example, I do not see how the information that a given response can return
405 can be practically used. Well, one can type for example a 405 catch block
on the client knowing 405 can be returned, but I'm not sure what difference it
makes, where this 405 info is located in the response statuses or in the docs...
Cheers, Sergey
