Object json creation with springfox

I have a class documentKey which when rendered through springfox outputs

    Inline Model [
       DocumentKey
    ]
    DocumentKey {
      _id (string, optional),
      _rev (integer, optional),
      _type (string, optional)
    }

which is exactly how i want it the problem is with another Class DocumentChangeSet outputs

    DocumentChangeSet {
      deletes (Collection«DocumentKey», optional),
      updates (Collection«AbstractDocument», optional)
    }
    Collection«DocumentKey» {}
    Collection«AbstractDocument» {}

is there anyway to make the DocumentKey tree nest into the deletes part? I know that annotations can be used but surely theres some way for it to pick up the annotations in the DocumentKey class to display the required information

Solution

  • The reason it's not working is that it doesn't know how to handle a Collection either change it to a list or an array, or add an alternate type rule to substitute Collection<T> to List<T>
