how generating wadl for jax-rs is getting 404 status

Hi I have rest web services running on tomcat. I'm trying to get wadl generated. What I read is that I just need to type url: http://ip:8080/application.wadl and it will be generated. However all I get is 404 status. If my deployed war name is ABC for example I'm also trying to execute: h开发者_高级运维ttp://ip:8080/ABC.wadl, but again 404.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

It really does depends on the framework that is mediating between Tomcat and your implementation classes. For example, with Apache CXF you get the WADL for a service by fetching http://example.com:8080/ABC?wadl (this is in the simplest case where your webapp is deployed as ABC and the root RESTful resource is served by the root of the webapp).
