Version 3.6 of OxyGen Code Generator introduces code generation for Wcf Rest.

The Wcf Rest feature address all the issues that would have typically made the auto generation of a Rest service difficult to implement. These issues are

  • Automatically deciding on the correct Http Methods
  • Etag support
  • Routing
  • Uri templates
  • Setting the right Http status codes
  • Support various formats (Json, JsonP, Xml, Atom, Rss)

Future versions of of OxyGen Code will add support for Etag-based implementation of optimistic concurrency.

There are a few issues still to be worked out with the Wcf Rest feature (for example, the generation of descriptions for operations is still not consistent.) These issues will be address in subsequent releases.

We will be adding dedicated documentation for the Wcf Rest feature very short, but this is how to activate it:

  • Select the 'Projects' tab
  • Create a new project
  • Select the new created Project Configuration
  • Select 'Components'
  • Check the WCF Services checkbox and then select one of the REST options from the dropdown
