The CXF Swagger2Feature allows you to generate Swagger 2.0 documents from JAX-RS service endpoints with a simple configuration.
For generating Swagger 1.2 documents, you can use SwaggerFeature instead of Swagger2Feature.
These features can be configured programatically in Java or using Spring or Blueprint beans.
Setup
< dependency > < groupId >org.apache.cxf groupId > < artifactId >cxf-rt-rs-service-description-swagger artifactId > < version >3.1.7 version >
dependency > |
Note that a cxf-rt-rs-service-description needs to be used if older CXF 3.1.x versions are used.
Properties
The following optional parameters can be configured in Swagger2Feature
Note some properties listed below are not available or used differently in SwaggerFeature, as the corresponding properties are used differently in Swagger 2.0 and Swagger 1.2. Please refer to the corresponding Swagger documentation for more information.)

Configuring Programatically
import org.apache.cxf.frontend.ServerFactoryBean; import org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.swagger.Swagger2Feature; ... Swagger2Feature feature = new Swagger2Feature(); // customize some of the properties feature.setBasePath( "/api" ); // add this feature to the endpoint (e.g., to ServerFactoryBean's features) ServerFactoryBean sfb = new ServerFactoryBean(); sfb.getFeatures().add(feature); |

Enabling in Spring Boot
See samples/jax_rs/spring_boot and on how to create Swagger2Feature in a @Bean method and samples/jax_rs/spring_boot_scan on how to auto-enable it.
Accessing Swagger Documents
When Swagger is enabled by Swagger feature, the Swagger documents will be available at the location URL constructed of the service endpoint location followed by /swagger.json or /swagger.yaml.
For example, lets assume a JAX-RS endpoint is published at 'http://host:port/context/services/' where 'context' is a web application context, "/services" is a servlet URL. In this case its Swagger documents are available at 'http://host:port/context/services/swagger.json' and 'http://host:port/context/services/swagger.yaml'.
Starting from CXF 3.1.7 the CXF Services page will link to Swagger documents if Swagger2Feature is active.
In the above example, go to 'http://host:port/context/services/services' and follow a Swagger link which will return a Swagger JSON document.
Enabling Swagger UI
First one needs to add the following
< dependency > < groupId >org.webjars groupId > < artifactId >swagger-ui artifactId > < version >2.1.8-M1 version >
dependency > |
Automatic UI Activation
This feature is available starting from CXF 3.1.7: Adding a Swagger UI Maven dependency is all what is needed to start accessing Swagger documents with the help of Swagger UI.
For example, lets assume a JAX-RS endpoint is published at 'http://host:port/context/services/'.
Open the browser and go to 'http://host:port/context/services/api-docs?/url=/swagger.json' which will return a Swagger UI page.
CXF Services page will also link to Swagger UI. Go to 'http://host:port/context/services/services' and follow a Swagger link which will return a Swagger UI page.
See samples/jax_rs/description_swagger2, samples/jax_rs/spring_boot and samples/jax_rs/spring_boot_scan
Note that CXF OSGI endpoints can only depend on this feature starting from CXF 3.1.8.
Unpacking Swagger UI resources
Up until CXF 3.1.7 unpacking Swagger UI resources into the local folder has been the only option. It is demoed in all CXF Swagger demos but samples/jax_rs/description_swagger2 which
shows the automatic UI activation. In CXF 3.1.7: set Swagger2Feature 'supportSwaggerUi' property to 'false' to disable to automatic UI activation described in the previous section
Samples
CXF's distribution contains the following samples.
- samples/jax_rs/description_swagger: Swagger 1.2 sample using SwaggerFeature programatically
- samples/jax_rs/description_swagger2: Swagger 2.0 standalone sample using Swagger2Feature programatically
- samples/jax_rs/description_swagger2_spring: Swagger 2.0 standalone sample using Swagger2Feature using Spring
- samples/jax_rs/description_swagger2_web: Swagger 2.0 web application sample using Swagger2Feature using Spring
