Hi Ayub,
It is going to take as a little longer than expected to get the resource
model done, but we are working on it!
After that we can work on improving WADL generation. But we are going to
change the focus slightly and be a little more dynamic. It is very hard
to generate a complete WADL for the Web application given the dynamic
nature in which Jersey works and indeed have a complete static view is
not really the way to go. Instead the WADL will be more focused and
available for each resource. We can still provide the WADL for the root
resources. So in this respect we view WADL as hypermedia (similar to
forms) and the client 'waddles' through the WADL representations
following links etc. This is much more loosely couple and fits in nicely
with the REST constraints.
In any case i don't think this invalidates your 3 points which generally
look OK. Please file any issues you have for your resource model and
WADL requirements so that we can track them and not forget about them :-)
