Swagger2Feature

Table of Contents

 

The CXF Swagger2Feature allows you to generate Swagger 2.0 documents from JAX-RS service endpoints with a simple configuration.

...

These features can be configured programatically in Java or using Spring or Blueprint beans.

Setup

Code Block
languagexml
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-rt-rs-service-description-swagger</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.7</version>
</dependency>

Note that a cxf-rt-rs-service-description needs to be used if older CXF 3.1.x versions are used.

 

Properties

The following optional parameters can be configured in Swagger2Feature

...

Note: those descriptions marked with + correspond to the properties defined in Swagger's BeanConfig, and those marked with ++ correspond to the properties defined in Swagger's ReaderConfig.

Configuring Programatically

 

Code Block
java
java
import org.apache.cxf.frontend.ServerFactoryBean;
import org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.swagger.Swagger2Feature;
...

    Swagger2Feature feature = new Swagger2Feature();

    // customize some of the properties
    feature.setBasePath("/api");
    	
   	// add this feature to the endpoint (e.g., to ServerFactoryBean's features) 
   	ServerFactoryBean sfb = new ServerFactoryBean();
   	sfb.getFeatures().add(feature);

Enabling in Spring Boot

See samples/jax_rs/spring_boot and on how to create Swagger2Feature in a @Bean method and samples/jax_rs/spring_boot_scan on how to auto-enable it.

 

Accessing Swagger Documents

When Swagger is enabled by Swagger feature, the Swagger documents will be available at the location URL constructed of the service endpoint location followed by /swagger.json or /swagger.yaml.

...

In the above example, go to 'http://host:port/context/services/services' and follow a Swagger link which will return a Swagger JSON document.

Enabling Swagger UI

First one needs to add the following

Code Block
languagexml
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.webjars</groupId>
    <artifactId>swagger-ui</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.8-M1</version>
</dependency>

Automatic UI Activation

This feature is available starting from CXF 3.1.7: Adding a Swagger UI Maven dependency is all what is needed to start accessing Swagger documents with the help of Swagger UI.

...

Note that CXF OSGI endpoints can only depend on this feature starting from CXF 3.1.8.

Unpacking Swagger UI resources

Up until CXF 3.1.7 unpacking Swagger UI resources into the local folder has been the only option. It is demoed in all CXF Swagger demos but samples/jax_rs/description_swagger2 which

shows the automatic UI activation. In CXF 3.1.7: set Swagger2Feature 'supportSwaggerUi' property to 'false' to disable to automatic UI activation described in the previous section

Samples

CXF's distribution contains the following samples.
