Slides and Code from Dropwizard talk.

[Kyle Boon]

Hi everyone. Thanks for the fantastic turnout. I'm going to pretend that everyone came to see me and not for free pizza. I'd like to ask a small favor of everyone who was there last night. I'm trying to get better at presenting in public and I built a 3 question survey on survey monkey about my presentation last night. If you wouldn't mind taking it here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/P272L8M I would really appreciate it!

Here are some links from last night:

After the Dropwizard talk did anyone get swagger working in a grails app? Could you post your example to github? 

I'm asking for a friend. :)

We did some work at Bloom to get the projects up to snuff. Those changed have been integrated back into the trunk for the respective projects:

https://github.com/rgahagan/enhanced-groovydoc

https://github.com/rgahagan/swagger-jaxrs-groovydoclet

We changed both projects into Gradle builds and fixed the dependency issues that were occuring. You should be able to pull those repos and do a 'gradle install' on each or deploy them to your own repository.

At Bloom we are using these version along with the Gradle Shadow plugin to build the necessary JSON files for Swagger and include them in our jars.

Additionally, today, I became aware of the Swagger-JAXRS project which provides annotations for dynamically generating the swagger interface. Requirement is to be running Dropwizard 0.6.1 and do the following:

1. Add the swagger asset bundle to the Dropwizard bootstrap

2. Add the ApiListingResourceJSON to the Dropwizard environment

3. Annotate your resources with @Api (class), and @ApiOperation (methods)

Here are some links for doing the annotation style:

Looks great John thanks for the hard work and follow up on this.
