swagger codegen is overwriting my custom code in g

问题:

I used the swagger codegen to generate jaxrs server side classes and also client side java classes.

This is the command I used to generate the classesenter code here

java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-distribution/target/swagger-codegen-distribution-2.1.2-M1.jar   -i /Users/me/Workspace/swagger-codegen/samples/yaml/echo.yaml   -l jaxrs   -o samples/server/echo/java

The server code that was generated had a place holder to write my "magic".

public Response echo(@ApiParam(value = ""  )@HeaderParam("headerParam") String headerParam,
    @ApiParam(value = "",required=true) @QueryParam("message") String message)
      throws NotFoundException {
      // do some magic!
      return Response.ok().entity(new ApiResponseMessage(ApiResponseMessage.OK, "magic!")).build();
  }

I added the "magic" in the "echo" method and regenerated the code, only to see it wiped out. One way to avoid losing custom code is to modify the codegen template to generate interface instead of a class. Then I can have all the custom code in the implemented class.

I am trying to find out if there is a way I can preserve the custom "magic" even after regenerating the code or if there is a better way of handling this situation than changing the template to generate interfaces instead of classes.

The latest master of Swagger Codegen allows you to specify files not to be overwritten in .swagger-codegen-ignore (similar to .gitignore) during code generation.

Please pull the latest master of Swagger Codegen to give it a try.

UPDATE: On May 2018, about 50 top contributors and template creators of Swagger Codegen decided to fork Swagger Codegen to maintain a community-driven version called OpenAPI Generator. Please refer to the Q&A for more information.

You can specify the files you want to ignore in .swagger-codegen-ignore file

Here is the sample self explainatory auto-generated code for .swagger-codegen-ignore file

# Swagger Codegen Ignore
# Generated by swagger-codegen https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen

# Use this file to prevent files from being overwritten by the generator.
# The patterns follow closely to .gitignore or .dockerignore.

# As an example, the C# client generator defines ApiClient.cs.
# You can make changes and tell Swagger Codgen to ignore just this file by uncommenting the following line:
#ApiClient.cs

# You can match any string of characters against a directory, file or extension with a single asterisk (*):
#foo/*/qux
# The above matches foo/bar/qux and foo/baz/qux, but not foo/bar/baz/qux

# You can recursively match patterns against a directory, file or extension with a double asterisk (**):
#foo/**/qux
# This matches foo/bar/qux, foo/baz/qux, and foo/bar/baz/qux

# You can also negate patterns with an exclamation (!).
# For example, you can ignore all files in a docs folder with the file extension .md:
#docs/*.md
# Then explicitly reverse the ignore rule for a single file:
#!docs/README.md

You can add some lines below this to ignore e.g. I want to ignore all file in folder impl so I added the following line to do that

**/impl/*
