MultivaluedMap can not be parsed in POST body of JAX-RS method

[eyala]

I'm opening this issue based on this question on StackOverflow - I can confirm that it still occurs:

Basically, Swagger doesn't seem to parse javax.ws.rs.core.MultivaluedMaps.

A method like this:

@post
@ApiOperation("fake operation")
@path("/add")
public Response addStudentGroup(@ApiParam("fake param") MultivaluedMap<String, String> formParams) {}

will generate the following resource response:

{
"path" : "/fake/add",
"description" : "fake description",
"operations" : [ {
  "httpMethod" : "POST",
  "summary" : "fake operation",
  "responseClass" : "void",
  "nickname" : "addStudentGroup",
  "responseTypeInternal" : "void",
  "parameters" : [ {
    "description" : "fake param",
    "paramType" : "body",
    "required" : false,
    "allowMultiple" : false
  } ]
} ]

}

Making "allowMultiple=true" within the @ApiParam doesn't help.

closing as not supported

Any chance this will be supported in the future?

@fehguy : Your answer on Stackoverflow suggested

...it may be fairly easy to implement.

I understand that Swagger cannot read my mind for the multi-value map. But I'd be glad to add arguments to the annotation, whatever helps. Is this simply a dead-end road? Those of us with flexible search interfaces still would like to document them ..

@chrisinmtown Swagger/OpenAPI 2.0 does not support that, however, OAS3 might be able to. Would suggest filing a new ticket for it.

[chrisinmtown]

Please forgive my ignorance, what's OAS 3.0 and where would I file that new ticket?

[webron]

OAS3 is OpenAPI 3.0, the new version of the spec. And you would file the new ticket on this repo, with an explanation of what you'd like to achieve.

@webron I followed your suggestion and opened #2721
