Hi Marc/Paul,

I have mentioned in one of the Tuesday meeting, that after NB6.0 Beta2 I
wanted to focus on extending the WADL generation part
of REST tooling so that I can insert extension to WADL that is generated
for a RESTful Web Project. Brian Leanord (NB evangelism) also showed
interested on using WADL for Web 2.0 client consumption. The extension I
am looking for is to be able to update element type
(schema element) for each representation.

I am thinking in order to achieve this, following needs to happen.

1. Resource Model integration to Jersey, and current WADL model to
follow this resource model. This allows for
modifying WADL in a standard way.
2. API/SPI to register callback methods to customize WADL elements.
3. Sample code on how to modify WADL.

If you agree to 1-3, then please let me know whether I should file a RFE
for this. Also if I file one, which version
of jersey these will be available.

We can talk in tomorrow's (10/02/07) meeting.

Thanks
Ayub
