Add @WebResource to your @Entity to generate a standard REST binding.

This is similar to what EclipseLink provides (http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Release/2.4.0/JPA-RS/REST-API), but IMHO hides technology better (e.g. why should a client care about the name of the persistence unit).

TODO generator:

• BeanValidation
• Binding for DAOs
• Use stereotype-helper (as soon as it supports annotation processors), so class annotations are inherited to the fields.
• Linked/sub-resources.
• Request-quota, or 429 Too many requests.
• Queries by prepared statements.
• pagination
• HEAD
• OPTIONS
• TRACE (if it's necessary; see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html)
• Timestamp as lastModified.
• Dynamic generation at runtime?

has similarities to http://isis.apache.org TODO codec:

• Provide favicons:
