Description

Hello everyone,

I'm currently upgrading from OpenAPI Generator v5.4.0 to v6.6.0 and I've run into an issue with schemas that define multiple levels of inheritance using two separate discriminators. It seems that for models that have more than one level of inheritance depth the generated Java classes are a bit broken. There are two issues that I have encountered:

• Child classes don't have all required parameters needed to pass to the parents in the constructor which results in compilation errors.

public class Poodle extends Dog {

  private String hairType;

  /**
   * Default constructor
   * @deprecated Use {@link Poodle#Poodle(String)}
   */
  @Deprecated
  public Poodle() {
    super();
  }

  /**
   * Constructor with only required parameters
   */
  public Poodle(String type) {
    super(race, type); <- race parameter is not a constructor param for the Poodle class nor it is a field of this class
  }
}

public class Dog extends Pet {

  private Integer tails;

  private String race;

  /**
   * Default constructor
   * @deprecated Use {@link Dog#Dog(String, String)}
   */
  @Deprecated
  public Dog() {
    super();
  }

  /**
   * Constructor with only required parameters
   */
  public Dog(String race, String type) {
    super(type);
    this.race = race;
  }
}

• Grandparent class has too many mappings using @JsonSubTypes. It seems that JsonSubTypes are generated for all classes that inherit from the grandparent class instead only for the explicitly configured classes using the mapping property in the discriminator. I would expect only the first two mappings to appear (CAT and DOG). Parent classes have their @JsonSubTypes set properly.

@JsonIgnoreProperties(
  value = "type", // ignore manually set type, it will be automatically generated by Jackson during serialization
  allowSetters = true // allows the type to be set during deserialization
)
@JsonTypeInfo(use = JsonTypeInfo.Id.NAME, include = JsonTypeInfo.As.PROPERTY, property = "type", visible = true)
@JsonSubTypes({
  @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Cat.class, name = "CAT"),
  @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Dog.class, name = "DOG"),
  @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Labrador.class, name = "Labrador"),
  @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = MaineCoon.class, name = "MaineCoon"),
  @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Persian.class, name = "Persian"),
  @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Poodle.class, name = "Poodle")
})

@Generated(value = "org.openapitools.codegen.languages.SpringCodegen", date = "2023-06-09T14:33:49.208185800+02:00[Europe/Warsaw]")
public class Pet {

  private String name;

  private String type;

  /**
   * Default constructor
   * @deprecated Use {@link Pet#Pet(String)}
   */
  @Deprecated
  public Pet() {
    super();
  }

  /**
   * Constructor with only required parameters
   */
  public Pet(String type) {
    this.type = type;
  }
}

Using v5.4.0 JsonSubTypes are properly set

@JsonTypeInfo(use = JsonTypeInfo.Id.NAME, include = JsonTypeInfo.As.EXISTING_PROPERTY, property = "type", visible = true)
@JsonSubTypes({
  @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Cat.class, name = "CAT"),
  @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Dog.class, name = "DOG"),
})
@Generated(value = "org.openapitools.codegen.languages.SpringCodegen", date = "2023-06-09T14:40:51.917945+02:00[Europe/Warsaw]")
public class Pet   {

  @JsonProperty("name")
  private String name;

  @JsonProperty("type")
  private String type;
}

I'm able to circumvent the first issue using --additional-properties=generatedConstructorWithRequiredArgs=false as a workaround although it would be nice to have all the constructors. Second one is something that I could not work out.

openapi-generator version

I'm using version 6.6.0, previously I've used 5.4.0 and this structure worked as expected.

Suggest a fix

Start with the linked YAML reproduction and the generated Pet, Dog, and Poodle classes, then compare Java Spring output from Generator 6.6.0 with 5.4.0. Review the Gradle plugin generation path and related issue #15148; done means the inheritance constructors compile and the grandparent's @JsonSubTypes contains only the configured mappings.
