Can the wadl file be generated at build time?

Question

I am using Jersey. My wadl files are accessible once my code is deployed and my web server is up and running, but I would like to generate the wadl file at build time so I can perform operations on it with other build targets. I see that the Jersey folks made a Maven plugin for this, but I am using Ant. How can I do this?

Answer 1

There is also an Ant util for this: ant-wadl-task. Take a closer look to the test and WadlGeneratorTask. Binary (1.18) can be downloaded here.
