Abstract
A system and method is provided for generating a RESTful communication service which offers REST2REST functionality seamlessly with automatic support for the API agnostic features such as policy enforcement, load balancing, routing, failover, logging, accounting, format conversion (XML2JSON,JSON2XML) etc. Such a system can include one or more applications, executing on one or more application servers. The system can also include a WADL plug-in which generates code for the RESTful communication service from Web Application Description Language files (WADL) which define the service interface and internal templates which define the code logic. The method offers rapid and efficient generation of REST APIs supporting API agnostic features, automatic REST API code generation from WADL files, and translation from WADL to WSDL.
