How to run Swagger 3 on Spring Boot 3


Using a fresh Spring Initialzr with Java17 and Spring Boot 3.0.0, and an extra addition to the pom.xml for Springfox Swagger 3, I can't for the life of me get Swagger pages to work. Instead, I get the whitelabel error page with 404.

Pom.xml

        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>
</project>

The standard Swagger URLs as defined in this Github Issues page aren't working for the above pom.xml project.


Solution

  • I had given up and went to use Spring Boot 2.7 after posting the question. But, after seeing Dmitriy's answer though, I checked Springdoc one last time and found that Springdoc v2 does support Spring Boot 3.

    Essentially, one has to place the following in their pom:

    <dependency>
       <groupId>org.springdoc</groupId>
       <artifactId>springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui</artifactId>
       <version>2.0.0</version>
    </dependency>
    

    Then one can access the Swagger page using the following URL: http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html (Don't forget to add context path if you need it). For some reason, when opening, it redirects to http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html although going for that initially returned 404.
