SpringDataRest with multiple DTO-s

Version: 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT

Generating swagger document from SpringDataRest, multiple DTO is generated in contract.

In https://github.com/csegedicsaba/springfox-poc project we have Person and City entities.

@Entity
@Table(name = "PERSON")
public class Person {
    @Id
    private Long personId;

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "CITY_ID")
    private City city;


    public Long getPersonId() {
        return this.personId;
    }

    public void setPersonId(Long zarolasId) {
        this.personId = zarolasId;
    }

    public City getCity() {
        return city;
    }

    public void setCity(City city) {
        this.city = city;
    }
}

@Entity
@Table(name = "CITY")
public class City {

    @Id
    private long cityId;


    public long getCityId() {
        return cityId;
    }

    public void setCityId(long cityId) {
        this.cityId = cityId;
    }
}

The contract (getting from http://localhost:8080/v2/api-docs) contains Person, Person_1 and Person_2. The generated contract is different sometimes when I restart the application (no change, only restart). In springfox-poc_api-docs_v1.json.txt Person_1 and Person_2 is generated and used. But in springfox-poc_api-docs_v2.json.txt Person_2 is generated but not used.

By adding the opposite relation to City only the Person is generated (no Person_1 or Person_2).

    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "city")
    private Collection<Person> persons;

    public Collection<Person> getPersons() {
        return persons;
    }

    public void setPersons(Collection<Person> persons) {
        this.persons = persons;
    }

We don’t want to add always both side of relationship because it is unnecessary.
