Abstract: A system and method for facilitating discovery of a software resource. The example method includes employing one or more predicates to query one or more services in a computing environment, producing a first result, wherein the first result indicates one or more target services; using reflection to analyze the one or more target services; producing a second result; analyzing the second result to determine if the one or more services meet a criterion for conversion to a Representational State Transfer (REST) service, yielding a third result; and providing one or more indications of one or more discovered services based on the third result.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating development of a web service, such as a Representational State Transfer (REST) web service. The example method includes determining one or more characteristics of a service interface and incorporating the resulting information in a file; and automatically generating computer code to implement a REST service based on the file. In a more specific embodiment, the file is an XML file, which may be output from a REST analysis tool applied to the service interface. The web service may leverage or include one or more resources that have been mapped to a REST service via a code generator used to implement the generating step.
