This is a JavaDoc Doclet that can be used to generate a JSON Swagger resource listing suitable for feeding to the Swagger UI. It generates the resource listing from the source code of java JAXRS resources and entities.
This was forked from Ryan Kennedy's original doclet to add support for swagger 1.2 and includes various fixes and new features described below.
This is used as a basis for the Carma API Reference which is a good working example of the Swagger UI being used for a large API.
#####Note you can win $1,000,000 using the Carma API!
##Why Use This Doclet?
- As the JSON resource listing is generated offline from source code it means that you do not need to add any runtime dependencies to your project and avoid potential headaches with different jar versions and jaxrs implementations. This also avoids increasing the size of your artifacts.
- The offline approach also allows you to post process the JSON if you wish.
- You also do not need to add any Swagger specific annotations to your source code as you can fine tune the generated documentation using javadoc tags.
To use the Swagger Doclet in your Maven project, add the following to your POM file.

You would then add various javadoc tags to your source code to fine tune the generated documentation. The generated documentation will be written as a series of JSON files in a format that the Swagger UI can read. You would typically deploy the Swagger UI and your API JSON files on a webserver.
To see a working example of the generated documentation refer to the example below.
This doclet can copy a version of the Swagger UI to the output dir using the swaggerUiPath option.
NOTE: You will more than likely need to tweak the index.html of the Swagger UI. In particular if you are not hosting the documentation at the root then you would need to change the url variable in the swagger-ui index.html:
window.swaggerUi = new SwaggerUi({
url: "apidocs/service.json"
<tr><td>@default</td><td>Defines a default value for a model field. For enums this must be one of the enum values, for numeric types if there is a minimum value then this must be >= to it, similarly if there is a maximum value then this must be <= to it.</td><td>model fields and methods</td><td>@defaultValue</td></tr>
<tr><td>@requiredField</td><td>This sets whether a model field is required.</td><td>model fields and methods</td><td>@required</td></tr>
<tr><td>@optionalField</td><td>This sets whether a model field is optional. This is only needed if the doclet option -modelFieldsRequiredByDefault has been enabled.</td><td>model fields and methods</td><td>@optional</td></tr>
<tr><td>@requiredParams</td><td>Defines a csv of operation parameter names that are required. If a param is not in the requiredParams list then it is required if it is a path or body param unless it is in the @optionalParams list.</td><td>operations</td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>@optionalParams</td><td>Defines a csv of operation parameter names that are optional. If a param is not in the optionalParams list then it is optional if it is NOT a path or body param unless it is in the @requiredParams list.</td><td>operations</td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>@csvParams</td><td>Defines a csv of operation parameter names that use CSV values. For swagger 1.2 this results in the allowMultiple field being set to true, however the Swagger UI does not support this at present.</td><td>operations</td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>@paramsMinValue</td><td>Defines the minimum value for one or more of the parameters of an operation. This uses a format of space separated name and value pairs e.g. param1Name param1MinValue param2Name param2MinValue</td><td>operations</td><td>@paramsMinimumValue, @minValues</td></tr>
<tr><td>@paramsMaxValue</td><td>Defines the maximum value for one or more of the parameters of an operation. This uses a format of space separated name and value pairs e.g. param1Name param1MaxValue param2Name param2MaxValue</td><td>operations</td><td>@paramsMaximumValue, @maxValues</td></tr>
<tr><td>@paramsDefaultValue</td><td>Defines the default value for one or more of the parameters of an operation. This uses a format of space separated name and value pairs e.g. param1Name param1DefaultValue param2Name param2DefaultValue. This doclet also supports reading default values from the JAXRS DefaultValue annotation which takes precedence over this for a given parameter. For enums a default value must be one of the enum values, for numeric types if there is a minimum value then a default value must be >= to it, similarly if there is a maximum value then a default value must be <= to it.</td><td>operations</td><td>@defaultValues</td></tr>
<tr><td>@paramsNameValue</td><td>Defines custom names for one or more of the parameters of an operation. This uses a format of space separated name and value pairs e.g. param1Name param1CustomName param2Name param2CustomName. </td><td>operations</td><td>@overrideParamsName</td></tr>
<tr><td>@resourcePriority</td><td>This sets a priority for ordering resources in the resource listing. They are ordered in ascending order of priority provided the doclet option -sortResourcesByPriority is set</td><td>operations</td><td>@resourceOrder</td></tr>
<tr><td>@resourceDescription</td><td>This sets the description for an operation in the resource listing e.g. the service.json file. If you are using the standard api class parser then you should put this tag on the class javadoc. If you are using the cross class resource parser then you should put this tag on one of the operation methods of each resource.</td><td>operations (if using cross class parsing), class javadoc</td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>@unauthorized</td><td>Indicates a method does NOT require authentication, in this case an empty authorizations field will be added to the operation json e.g. authorizations": { } The swagger 1.2 spec indicates this overrides authentication at the api level however in practice it appears that not adding this vs adding empty authorizations has the same effect in Swagger UI.</td><td>operations</td><td>@noAuth</td></tr>
<tr><td>@scope</td><td>Indicates this method requires authorization and in particular the calling user must have this scope. Multiple scopes can be added using multiple tags. The scopes defined on the operation level must be one of the scopes in the Authorizations section of the service.json</td><td>operations</td><td>@oauth2Scope</td></tr>
<tr><td>@authentication</td><td>This is an alternative way to define that an endpoint either requires authorization or does not require authorization. It can be set to either @authentication Required or @authentication Not required. If it is set to required then you must also set some default scopes that are to be applied via the -authOperationScopes doclet option.</td><td>operations</td><td>@authorization</td></tr>
<tr><td>@deprecated</td><td>This defines an operation method or a model field/method as deprecated. By default the doclet will not include these in the generated documentation. This behaviour can be overridden by the -disableDeprecated* options described in the doclet options section below. If a deprecated operation is included then the deprecated field of the operation will be set to "true" as per the swagger 1.2 spec.</td><td>operations, model fields & methods.</td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>@Deprecated</td><td>This defines an operation method, parameter or a model field/method as deprecated. By default the doclet will not include these in the generated documentation. This behaviour can be overridden by the -disableDeprecated* options described in the doclet options section below. If a deprecated operation is included then the deprecated field of the operation will be set to "true" as per the swagger 1.2 spec. As this is an annotation vs a javadoc tag it can be applied to operation parameters.</td><td>operations, operation parameters, model fields & methods.</td><td></td></tr>
| Tag | Purpose | Applies To | Aliases |
|---|---|---|---|
| @exclude | Use to exclude a resource class, operation, model field or method from the generated documentation | classes, operations, model methods & fields | @hidden, @hide |
| @excludeParams | Use to exclude operation parameters from the generated documentation | operations | @hiddenParams, @hideParams |
| @responseMessage | Use to describe each success or response status returned from an operation. It is made up of a numeric status code, a description an an optional response model specifically for this error. For example: @responseMessage 404 not found @responseMessage 404 not found `fixtures.responsemessages.Response1 NOTE: The optional response model class is added after a backtick as in the example above. | operations | @status, @errorResponse, @successResponse, @errorCode, @successCode |
| @responseType | If you want the documented response model class to be different to the one in the java method signature you can use this to override it. This is useful to replace the Jax Rs response class with a particular entity type that may be returned. For example:
| operations | @outputType |
| @inputType | If you want to have a different class type used as the model for a body parameter then you can use this. For example:
| PUT/POST operations | @bodyType |
| @defaultErrorType | If error responses result in an error entity and you want to document this without having to put in each error responseMessage you can set this either on the operation method or the resource classes javadoc. | operations,resource classes | |
| @description | For model properties this is used for the field description. For operations this is used for the notes. For operations if you do not use this then the notes will be taken from the commment text minus the first sentences of the javadoc. | operations, model methods | @comment, @return - (only for model methods) |
| @summary | This is used for the summary of the operation. If you do not use this then the summary will be taken from the first sentences of the javadoc. | operations | @endpointName |
| @min | Defines a minimum value for a model field. | model fields and methods | @minimum |
| @max | Defines a maximum value for a model field. | model fields and methods | @maximum |
These are the options that you will always want to set
| Option | Purpose |
|---|---|
| -docBasePath | The base path to the docs in the service.json, defaults to http://localhost:8080. You should set to the url of the dir where the swagger json files are hosted e.g. for Carma we use -docBasePath https://api-dev.car.ma/apidoc/ref. NOTE: Do not end this with a forward slash. |
| -apiBasePath | The base path to make api calls via Swagger UI, For each API operation the url to that operation is the apiBasePath + the operation Api path. This can be relative if the swagger json files are on the same host as you API. For Carma we use -apiBasePath /carmaapi |
| -apiVersion | The version of your API used in the service.json and your various API json files. |
These are the options that you may want to use to add additional functionality or control the doclet behaviour
<tr><td>-apiInfoFile</td><td>The path to the json include file that contains the Info that should be included in the generated json. For example for Carma we use:
<p></p>
<p>-apiInfoFile ${project.build.directory}/swagger/includes/apiinfo.json</p>
which includes this content:
<code><pre>
{
"title": "Carma APIs",
"description": "<p>This is an interactive API reference for the Carma APIs.</p><p>Below you will see the main sections of the API. Click each section in order to see the endpoints that are available in that category and use the 'Try it out' button to make API calls.</p><p>For endpoints that require authentication you can click the on/off toggle in the top right of the endpoint description, which will take you to a login form.</p><p>If you have not set up a Carma user account already you can do so <a href='https://rtr-dev.car.ma/login' target='_blank'>here</a>.",
"termsOfServiceUrl": "https://api-dev.car.ma/apidoc/terms.action",
"contact": "carma-apis@car.ma"
}
<tr><td>-disableCopySwaggerUi or -skipUiFiles</td><td>If set then this does not copy the Swagger UI to the output dir. This can be useful to speed up the doclet and reduce the size of the generated artifact if you either do not use the Swagger UI or host or package it separately.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-swaggerUiPath</td><td>If copying of the Swagger UI is enabled this is the path to the zip file or dir that includes the ui. If not provided then the default Swagger UI embedded in the doclet plugin will be used. If the legacy swaggerUiZipPath option is provided then this will be set to that value.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-disableModels</td><td>This turns off generation of models in the documentation.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-crossClassResources</td><td>This is whether to use the cross class resource parser. This parser allows you to have operations of the same resource in different jaxrs Resource classes. NOTE: This parser does not currently support sub resources.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-disableSortApisByPath</td><td>This is whether to disable sorting of apis inside a resource by their path. If not set then they will be ordered by their path. If set then they will be in the order encountered by the parser.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-sortResourcesByPriority</td><td>This is whether the resources in the resource listing e.g. service.json are ordered by their priority as defined by the @resourcePriority tags. Resources without a priorty tag are placed at the bottom. This takes precedence over -sortResourcesByPath. If neither this nor the -sortResourcesByPath options are set then they will be listed in the order encountered by the parser.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-sortResourcesByPath</td><td>This is whether the resources in the resource listing e.g. service.json are ordered by their path. If neither this nor the -sortResourcesByPriority options are set then they will be listed in the order encountered by the parser.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-disableDeprecatedResourceClassExclusion</td><td>By default resource classes which have either the @deprecated tag or @Deprecated annotation are excluded from the generated documentation. If this flag is set they will be included.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-disableDeprecatedModelClassExclusion</td><td>By default model classes which have either the @deprecated tag or @Deprecated annotation are excluded from the generated documentation. If this flag is set they will be included.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-disableDeprecatedOperationExclusion</td><td>By default operation methods which have either the @deprecated tag or @Deprecated annotation are excluded from the generated documentation. If this flag is set they will be included.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-disableDeprecatedFieldExclusion</td><td>By default model fields which have either the @deprecated tag or @Deprecated annotation (either on the model field or method) are excluded from the generated documentation. If this flag is set they will be included.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-disableDeprecatedParamExclusion</td><td>By default operation parameters which have the @Deprecated annotation are excluded from the generated documentation. If this flag is set they will be included.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-excludeModelPrefixes</td><td>This adds additional classes to the set of model classes that are NOT documented. The default set contains org.joda.time.DateTime, java.util.UUID, java.io. . This supports a full class name as well as prefixes of the fully qualified class names which means you can enter a package like com.foo to exclude all classes under the com.foo package. This replaces the -typesToTreatAsOpaque option but if that option is specified then those classes will be added to the excludeModelPrefixes set.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-excludeResourcePrefixes</td><td>This allows you to exclude resource classes from the generated documentation. This supports a full class name as well as prefixes of the fully qualified class names which means you can enter a package like com.foo to exclude all classes under the com.foo package.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-genericWrapperTypes</td><td>This adds additional classes to the set of model classes that act as genericized wrappers to the actual entity that should be documented. The default set contains com.sun.jersey.api.JResponse.</td></tr>
<tr><td>-modelFieldsRequiredByDefault</td><td>This is whether model fields are required by default e.g. if a model field has neither @optional or @required on it. If you do not set this then model fields are NOT required by default. If you set this option then they ARE required by default.</td></tr>
| Option | Purpose |
|---|---|
| -d | The path to the directory where the generated swagger json files should be written e.g. -d /tmp/foo. By default this will be the reportOutputDirectory of the doclet. |
| -apiAuthorizationsFile | The path to the json include file that contains the authorizations spec that should be included in the generated json. For example for Carma we use:
-apiAuthorizationsFile ${project.build.directory}/swagger/includes/apiauth.json "oauth2": { "type": "oauth2", "scopes": [ { "scope": "rtr", "description": "Standard Carma Scope allowing access to the authenticated user" } ], "grantTypes": { "implicit": { "loginEndpoint": { "url": "https://api-dev.car.ma/security/oauth/authorize" }, "tokenName": "access_token" } } } } } |
These are options that you typically won't need to use unless for example, you want to support different javadoc tags without needing to modify your source code.

An example project using Dropwizard is included in swagger-doclet-sample-dropwizard. To get it running, run the following commands.
$ cd swagger-doclet-sample-dropwizard
$ mvn package
$ java -jar target/swagger-doclet-sample-dropwizard-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar server sample.yml
The example server should be running on port 8080:
You can view the Swagger UI running here: http://127.0.0.1:8080/apidocs/ NOTE you need to add the trailing forward slash for the CSS to load.
You can also inspect the generated json:
$ curl localhost:8080/apidocs/service.json
{
"swaggerVersion" : "1.2",
"apiVersion" : "1",
"basePath" : "http://127.0.0.1:8080/apidocs",
"apis" : [ {
"path" : "/Response.{format}"
}, {
"path" : "/Recursive.{format}"
}, {
"path" : "/person.{format}"
}, {
"path" : "/parent.{format}"
}, {
"path" : "/ModelResource_modelid.{format}"
}, {
"path" : "/HttpServletRequest.{format}"
}, {
"path" : "/greetings_name.{format}"
}, {
"path" : "/Auth.{format}"
} ]
}
$
To override the Swagger UI included with the doclet, you can either use your own zip or your own directory and add the swaggerUiPath option to the additionalparam attribute in the pom file.
Here is an example pointing to a zip file:
<additionalparam>-apiVersion 1 -docBasePath /apidocs -apiBasePath / -swaggerUiPath ../../../src/main/resources/swagger-ui.zip</additionalparam>
Here is an example pointing to a directory:
<additionalparam>-apiVersion 1 -docBasePath /apidocs -apiBasePath / -swaggerUiPath ../../../src/main/resources/swagger-ui/</additionalparam>
