getSignature method

[preetsan]

Hi,
I am returning DataContainer in one my my spring mvc methods where DataContainer is a generic class which holds a list(with the name 'data') of any type.
Swagger UI generates response Model like below ..it does not give the DataContainer attribute 'data' in the Model Schema
[
{
"id":0 --- Highlight attributes
.........
}
]

Looking at the swagger js code, it seems when the return type is in above format , it just ignores the container ('data' in above case) which seems odd since the json rexponse has the 'data' element.

Thanks

Can you please share the JSON representation of the model before it appears in swagger-ui?

Below is the model element in the json generated by Swagger Spring mvc

{
  "Highlight": {
    "properties": {
      "id": {
        "type": "int"
      },
      "annotation": {
        "type": "string"
      },
      "resourceId": {
        "type": "string"
      },
      "appId": {
        "type": "string"
      },
      "ts": {
        "type": "long"
      },
      "userId": {
        "type": "string"
      },
      "highlight": {
        "type": "string"
      }
    },
    "type": "Highlight"
  },
  "DataContainer[Highlight]": {
    "properties": {
      "data": {
        "items": {
          "$ref": "Highlight"
        },
        "type": "List"
      }
    },
    "type": "DataContainer[Highlight]"
  }
}

OK you have generics--that means you have to manually override the model definition. Take a look here on how to do that:
