Swagger2 config class not loaded in spring mvc

Question

I am working on setting up swagger2 documentation for my Spring REST Project. But when I try to execute http://localhost:8085/swagger-ui.html returns empty page.The problem is my bean class is not loaded by my spring MVC application and it is NOT a spring boot application.

The below is my swagger2 config class

@Configuration
@EnableSwagger2
@EnableWebMvc
public class SwaggerConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter{

    @Bean
    public Docket newsApi() {
        System.out.println("!@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@22");
    return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2)
    .groupName("Dialr")
    .apiInfo(apiInfo())
    .select()
    .paths(regex("/*.*"))
    .build();
    }

    private ApiInfo apiInfo() {
    return new ApiInfoBuilder()
    .title("Spring REST Sample with Swagger")
    .description("Spring REST Sample with Swagger")
    .termsOfServiceUrl("http://www-03.ibm.com/software/sla/sladb.nsf/sla/bm?Open")
    .contact("Niklas Heidloff")
    .license("Apache License Version 2.0")
    .licenseUrl("https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/news-aggregator/blob/master/LICENSE")
    .version("2.0")
    .build();
    }

}

The below is my rest-servlet.xml under WEB-INF

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  </beans>

Please find the web.xml entry as well

</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

    <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Please let me know if anything is missing ? Any help is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Since the base url mapping in your servlet mapping is /rest/* the swagger-ui.html will not load to http://localhost:8085/swagger-ui.html so try with http://localhost:8085/rest/swagger-ui.html it may work
