A feature to have READ ONLY value fields on a model shown up in the swagger documentation #854
Description
As a user of swagger, I want to have a feature to have READ ONLY value fields on a model shown up in the swagger documentation.
I.e. We have this field "lastUpdatedDateTime" that is only a READ ONLY field on the model, but we still want this field to show in the swagger specification/ documentation
As recommended when using Jackson 1.9 and higher, to support this READ ONLY field on the model, we use:
- @JsonIgnore on the member variable and the setter method
- @JsonProperty on the getter method.
which means ONLY ignore on deserialization. (http://jackson.codehaus.org/1.9.9/javadoc/org/codehaus/jackson/annotate/JsonIgnore.html)
So, we want Swagger to parse it for READ ONLY fields to still showing up in the documentation.
