Enabling Swagger in a Java EE application

This should be enough:

0) add Maven dependencies:

com.wordnik:swagger-jaxrs_2.10:1.3.1


1) with an Application, register the Swagger jaxrs resources:

import java.util.Set;

import javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Application;

@ApplicationPath("/rest")
public class JaxRsActivator extends Application {

 @Override
 public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
  Set<Class<?>> resources = new java.util.HashSet<>();
  resources.add(com.wordnik.swagger.jaxrs.listing.ApiListingResource.class);
  resources.add(com.wordnik.swagger.jaxrs.listing.ApiDeclarationProvider.class);
  resources.add(com.wordnik.swagger.jaxrs.listing.ApiListingResourceJSON.class);
  resources.add(com.wordnik.swagger.jaxrs.listing.ResourceListingProvider.class);
//  resources.add(BearerTokenFilter.class);
  addRestResourceClasses(resources);
  return resources;
 }

 private void addRestResourceClasses(Set<Class<?>> resources) {
  resources.add(BlaService.class);
  resources.add(MumbleService.class);
 }

}

2) register the Swagger configuration:

import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;

import com.wordnik.swagger.config.ConfigFactory;
import com.wordnik.swagger.config.ScannerFactory;
import com.wordnik.swagger.config.SwaggerConfig;
import com.wordnik.swagger.jaxrs.config.DefaultJaxrsScanner;
import com.wordnik.swagger.jaxrs.reader.DefaultJaxrsApiReader;
import com.wordnik.swagger.reader.ClassReaders;

@WebServlet(name = "SwaggerJaxrsConfig", loadOnStartup = 1)
public class SwaggerJaxrsConfig extends HttpServlet {

 @Override
 public void init(ServletConfig servletConfig) {
  try {
   super.init(servletConfig);
   SwaggerConfig swaggerConfig = new SwaggerConfig();
   ConfigFactory.setConfig(swaggerConfig);
   swaggerConfig.setBasePath("/rest");
   swaggerConfig.setApiVersion("2.1");
   ScannerFactory.setScanner(new DefaultJaxrsScanner());
   ClassReaders.setReader(new DefaultJaxrsApiReader());
  } catch (ServletException e) {
   System.out.println(e.getMessage());
  }
 }
}

3) then you can annotare your services methods:

import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.ws.rs.Consumes;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.HeaderParam;
import javax.ws.rs.NotAuthorizedException;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.QueryParam;
import javax.ws.rs.WebApplicationException;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
import com.wordnik.swagger.annotations.Api;
import com.wordnik.swagger.annotations.ApiOperation;
import com.wordnik.swagger.annotations.ApiParam;
import com.wordnik.swagger.annotations.ApiResponse;
import com.wordnik.swagger.annotations.ApiResponses;


@Path("/pippo")
@Consumes({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
@Api(value = "/pippo", description = "REST service end-points exposed to Pippo")
public class PippoService {
 @GET
 @Path("/profiles")
 @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
 @ApiOperation(value = "All Pippos", notes = "List all Pippos")
 @ApiResponses(value = { @ApiResponse(code = 200, message = "OK"), @ApiResponse(code = 500, message = "Server error, check log files") })
 public List listPippobyQuery(
                 @ApiParam(value = "the hostname where Pippo resides") @QueryParam("hostname") String hostName) {

  return listPippo(hostName);
 }
}
