Annotation Interface APIResponse


The ApiResponse annotation corresponds to the OpenAPI Response model object which describes a single response from an API Operation, including design-time, static links to operations based on the response.

When this annotation is applied to a method the response is added to the responses defined in the corresponding OpenAPI operation. If the operation already has a response with the specified responseCode the annotation on the method is ignored.

 @ApiResponse(responseCode="200", description="Calculate load size", content=
     [ @Content(mediaType="application/json", Schema=@Schema(type="integer")) ] )
 @GET
 public getLuggageWeight(Flight id) {
     return getBagWeight(id) + getCargoWeight(id);
 }
