How to change the response status code to work successfully in Swagger?

Question

As shown in the figure, it says “Response class (state 200)” for the add operation. However, the add operation was implemented in such a way that it never returns 200. It returns 201 for success.

My question is how to change (status 200) to (state 201)? The code for this part is as follows:

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.PUT, value = "/add") @ApiOperation(value = "Creates a new person", code = 201) @ApiResponses(value = { @ApiResponse(code = 201, message = "Record created successfully"), @ApiResponse(code = 409, message = "ID already taken") }) public ResponseEntity<String> add(@RequestParam(value = "name", required = true) String name, @RequestParam(value = "id", required = true) String id) { if (PD.searchByID(id).size() == 0) { Person p = new Person(name, id); PD.addPerson(p); System.out.println("Person added."); return new ResponseEntity<String>(HttpStatus.CREATED); } else { System.out.println("ID already taken."); return new ResponseEntity<String>(HttpStatus.CONFLICT); } } 

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can add the @ResponseStatus annotation to any controller method to determine the http status it should return. former

Add the following annotation to the acontroller method:

 @ResponseStatus(code = HttpStatus.CREATED) 

Will return HTTP status 201 (Created)

Answer 2

Add the following annotation in the controller method (method = requestMethod.PUT) or (method = requestMethod.POST) @ResponseStatus (code = HttpStatus.ACCEPTED)
