I have a web application providing more than 30 REST services (using Jersey) to clients. Is it possible to automatically create a WADL document for my application?

I need this, so that I can have it configured in SoapUI for testing various scenarios and save it for later use.

If you are using Jersey then url to wadl would be something like

http://localhost:8080/applicationname/application.wadl

You may need to add the resource base into the url e.g.

http://localhost:8080/applicationname/resources/application.wadl
