Solution

The issue with springfox may take while to resolve issue but there is alternative available with latest swagger v3 have similar capabilities of springfox

https://github.com/springdoc/springdoc-openapi.git

Only disabled the SpringFox dependencies, added SpringDoc, and replaced the SpringFox bean, with a SpringDoc bean. Everything is working as expected. All I need to do is to convert a couple of annotations on each rest service so SpringDoc displays everything correctly. SpringDoc does work
