Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be nice to have an isModelParameter property that can be used in the mustache templates. This would help with differentiating models that are used in a request body and models returned in a response body. With this new property in the mustache templates, only models that are part of the request can be generated which allows filtering the models that are only returned in the response.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding an isModelParameter property which then can be used via the mustache templates. So a new field can be added:

public boolean isModelParameter;

Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction

Start by locating the Java model-generation data structures and the mustache templates that expose model properties. Trace how request-body and response-body models are identified, then verify that the new isModelParameter value is available to templates and supports generating only request models.
