Use array/list in the request payload

[katiaSouza]

Hi,

I don't know if it is possible, so I can do the same in the response payload.. my question is in relation of a request payload that has a list/array.

Example:

@RequestMapping(value = "/myuri", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void category(Collection category)

The input in swagger should be:

[{
"categoryId": 123,
"categoryName": "My Category"
}]

But what ocurrs in swagger is:

{
"empty": "boolean"
}

Can you help me?

Collections are not supported in input parameters, mainly because given a
collection, it could be a List or a Set or anything else that implements
that interface. Either you can use the AlternateTypeRule to transform ALL
collections to a List, or you change the signature to be a List or a Set or
a Map. Generic types are supported as well.

[katiaSouza]

Ok.

I tried change the signature to be a List, but occurs the same mistake.

@katiaSouza Is your list a generic list? If not try making it a generic list or adding an @apimodel annotation to indicate it is a list and specify the concrete type (Category in this case)

Thanks and sorry by response delay.

I was using other version of swagger-spring and this version not have the @apimodel annotation. I'm changing for this version, but I'm finding some problems. The first problem is dependency swagger-springmvc.0.6.0-SNAPSHOT not exist in repositories and when I try change to other version the swagger-springmvc.0.5.3, some classes that exist in the atual version not exist on this.
Can you help me?

@katiaSouza Please switch your branch to rel-0.5 and use the examples relevant to the 0.5.3 release

Thanks again.
