JavaML

If I ever get a chance to (or if anybody else would like to) try generating Java bindings for RSDL, then JavaML might be worth looking into since it'd be a similiar approach to the Xml2CodeDom syntax that I output for the .NET languages.

I have a vague recollection of finding a Java API for constructing source code trees (a la .NET's CodeDom) many months ago but seem to have lost the link. Did anybody else happen to come across this, too?

RSDL

I've been playing around with generating code for web sevices done the REST way for a while now. RSDL is the result. It can generate proxies for web resources (using my Xml2CodeDom tool) for any of the big three .NET languages. The RSDL vocabulary is language agnostic, however, so it should be possible to generate proxies for any language. I thought it was about time I released it considering all of the discussions about SOAP vs. REST that's been going on recently. The vocabulary was originally based on Paul Prescod's WRDL but has since been simplified to my liking. It's not much but I think it has the potential to become more. Comments would be lovely.
