Description
Summary:In its lifecycle, a service must be discovered before it is accessed by a service client. This discovery process is done by utilizing a service description provided by a service provider. SOAP-based services define its description using standardized WSDL documents. However, REST-based services has yet to have this kind of standardized universal definition method. This causes the need of a mechanism that allows description of REST-based service universally. The proposed solution is built with consideration of previously proposed concepts. The solution is designed by combining concepts such as extraction of HTML documents with WSDL 2.0 document generation in order to gain a new description mechanism. This method can then be configured according to conversion requirements. With the help of this solution, discovery process for REST-based services can be done with better automation support. Based on its testing, the implemented solution is able to fulfill its purpose of converting an HTML API reference document into a WSDL 2.0 document. Nevertheless, this solution can still be improved for future needs.
