    Yes, thank you. The thing is, Springfox is not one of our libraries, and we don't know it well enough to provide support for it. It does use our swagger-core annotations, but the parsing of the annotations is done soley by Springfox. There should be a solution for your use case though, so I'd suggest filing a ticket with the project, and hopefully they can help you out.

It sounds like you're generating the definition from the code. Which library do you use to generate the definition? Which development language and framework?

Hi,

Yes, we are generating the definitions from existing Java code in the Spring Boot framework.  Since this is a Spring app, we are using springfox-swagger-ui and springfox-swagger2, both are version 2.9.2.  I got around the validation issues by manually editing the files until they pass validation, but I'd rather not do this all the time.

 

Is this enough information for you?

Tom

      Thanks so much.  I should have realized that earlier, but I thought there was a chance you might have seen something like this before.
