Have you considered the possibility of wadl generation on startup time too?

Ok. Now you can override these paths by an init-param of the ServletContainer.
<init-param>
<param-name>com.sun.ws.rest.config.property.ResourcePaths</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/classes</param-value>
</init-param>
param-value is a ';' separated list of paths.

Done. But i am not familiarized with other containers rather than
Servlet. Please help me doing some tests.
