swagger @ApiModelProperty example value for List property

Question

I have one class in which there is one property which is List

public class MyClass {
    ....
    @ApiModelProperty(position = 2)
         


        

Answer 1

None of the solutions worked for me. As it is explained in this Baeldung article besides to include the Example Value in the data model with @ApiModelProperty

@ApiModel
public class Foo {
    private long id;
    @ApiModelProperty(name = "name", dataType = "List", example = "[\"str1\", \"str2\", \"str3\"]")
    private List name;

The Controller must also be annotated with @ApiImplicitParams to let Swagger point to the data model:

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/foos")
@ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.CREATED)
@ResponseBody
@ApiImplicitParams({ @ApiImplicitParam(name = "foo", 
  value = "List of strings", paramType = "body", dataType = "Foo") })
public Foo create(@RequestBody final Foo foo) {

You may notice that the dataType point to the class Foo.
