Before we proceed any further, let's enable swagger on our service so that testing it becomes easy. The first step is to add springfox dependencies.
Now that we have dependencies added, we need to define a swagger configuration. Most of our endpoint will need to have a token passed as HTTP header, we need to configure our swagger configuration to facilitate that.
We create a swagger configuration file as defined above. The globalOperationParameters clause dictates to swagger that each endpoint will have a parameter named token of type header and is mandatory. We know there is two endpoint that will not have a token header but we can just pass some dummy values. We can also make it non-mandatory if we so wish.
We also modify authentication endpoint to take a username and password header for authentication endpoint. That is defined in the AuthenticateEndpoint as above. Look at the @RequestHeader parameter passed in the login method of the endpoint.
Also, make sure that SecurityConfiguration.java that we had defined in one of the previous posts a list of swagger related URLs were made part of an exception list so that these do not go through authentication filter.
Now if we rebuild the server and run it and visit http://localhost:8081/swagger-ui.html we see the swagger page with all the API endpoints listed there. Here is the screenshot of the swagger UI as seen on visiting above URL.
