I am trying to develop client code for a vendor-provided service of a
type I've never seen before. The vendor does not provide a WSDL, but
they do provide an XSD schema definition, a URL, and a protocol document
in which it is explained that the request parameters are provided as
query parameters appended to the URL itself ?key1="value"&key2="value",
etc. The XSD does not define a request packet but it does define the
response packet.
Is there a name for this type of Web Service? (Is it even considered a
Web Service?) And are there facilities in CXF (or other systems) for
generating client code based on it? Or am I better off just writing my
own parsers for the response?
