Ability to generate Java classes from a WADL

WADL is a standard used to describe RESTful services.
Typically, when interacting with a RESTful service, the client application needs to parse the emitted JSON or XML and reconstruct some Java objects to represent that data.
The information required to define such Java Classes is contained in the WADL. We would need a way to automatically generate those classes in the same way as we generate them from a WSDL for JAX-RPC or JAX-WS.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
