Starting from CXF 2.6.2 it is possible to affect the base address specified in the auto-generated WADL (in wadl:resources/@base attribute).
WADLGenerator can be indirectly configured by setting a jaxrs:server/@publishedEndpointUrl attribute, similarly to the way CXF WSDL generator can be configured by setting a jaxws:endpoint/@publishedEndpointUrl attribute.

WADL Transformations

Starting from CXF 3.0.4 it is possible to configure WADLGenerator with a 'stylesheetReference' property pointing to a local XSLT template. 

If an 'applyStylesheetLocally' property is disabled (default) then a generated WADL XML representation will include an XML XSLT processing instruction pointing to a template with the browser downloading it in the next step and doing the transformation itself. Otherwise WADLGenerator will attempt to do a local transformation before returning a response to the browser.

java2wadl Maven plugin

CXF 3.0.0 and 2.7.11 introduce java2wadl plugin for generating WADL at the build time:

Note that Javadoc can be properly supported by enabling the "parsejavadoc" execution and a docProvider property.

Otherwise WADLGenerator will attempt to do a local transformation before returning a response to the browser.

This feature can help with further enhancing the generated WADL XML with some simple transformations (example, adding some information to WADL XML that is not possible to get from the annotated JAX-RS resources) or convert it to HTML.
