Annotation Type ApiImplicitParam

@Target(value=METHOD)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Inherited
public @interface ApiImplicitParam

Represents a single parameter in an API Operation.

While ApiParam is bound to a JAX-RS parameter, method or field, this allows you to manually define a parameter in a fine-tuned manner. This is the only way to define parameters when using Servlets or other non-JAX-RS environments.

This annotation must be used as a value of ApiImplicitParams in order to be parsed.

Element Detail

name

public abstract String name

Name of the parameter.

For proper Swagger functionality, follow these rules when naming your parameters based on paramType():

1. If paramType is "path", the name should be the associated section in the path.
2. If paramType is "body", the name should be "body".
3. For all other cases, the name should be the parameter name as your application expects to accept.

value

defaultValue

public abstract String defaultValue

allowableValues

public abstract String allowableValues

Limits the acceptable values for this parameter.

There are three ways to describe the allowable values:

1. To set a list of values, provide a comma-separated list surrounded by square brackets. For example: [first, second, third].
2. To set a range of values, start the value with "range", and surrounding by square brackets include the minimum and maximum values. For example: range[1, 5].
3. To set a minimum/maximum value, use the same format for range but use "infinity" or "-infinity" as the second value. For example, range[1, infinity] means the minimum allowable value of this parameter is 1.

Default:

""

required

public abstract boolean required

Specifies if the parameter is required or not.

Path parameters should always be set as required.
