Description
Quite impressed with the toolset you created here.
I was curious about inheritance support so I tried it out with a minimal example:
openapi: 3.0.2
info:
title: edit me
version: 1.0.0
paths:
/nothing:
description: dummy
get:
responses:
'200':
description: empty
content:
'application/json':
schema:
$ref: '#/components/schemas/ChildSchema'
components:
schemas:
ParentSchema:
type: object
properties:
parentAttr:
type: string
ChildSchema:
allOf:
- $ref: '#/components/schemas/ParentSchema'
- type: object
properties:
childAttr:
type: string
This yields a ChildSchema.java consisting of everything from the parent and child model:
public class ChildSchema {
@JsonProperty("parentAttr")
private String parentAttr;
@JsonProperty("childAttr")
private String childAttr;
public String getParentAttr() {
return parentAttr;
}
public void setParentAttr(String parentAttr) {
this.parentAttr = parentAttr;
}
public String getChildAttr() {
return childAttr;
}
public void setChildAttr(String childAttr) {
this.childAttr = childAttr;
}
}
Now specifying a discriminator results in inheritance in the generated code (at least for the openapi-generator project):
openapi: 3.0.2
info:
title: edit me
version: 1.0.0
paths:
/nothing:
description: dummy
get:
responses:
'200':
description: empty
content:
'application/json':
schema:
$ref: '#/components/schemas/ChildSchema'
components:
schemas:
ParentSchema:
type: object
discriminator:
propertyName: className
properties:
parentAttr:
type: string
ChildSchema:
allOf:
- $ref: '#/components/schemas/ParentSchema'
- type: object
properties:
childAttr:
type: string
For this a special propertyName of className is used. If I run that in your playground with spring 2021.5 it complains about the property name which is not wrong strictly speaking:
The discriminator 'className' is not a property of this schema (code: 134)
If I run this locally with 2023.1.2 then this does not error but does not generate two classes with one inheriting from each other:
public class ChildSchema {
@JsonProperty("parentAttr")
private String parentAttr;
@JsonProperty("childAttr")
private String childAttr;
public String getParentAttr() {
return parentAttr;
}
public void setParentAttr(String parentAttr) {
this.parentAttr = parentAttr;
}
public String getChildAttr() {
return childAttr;
}
public void setChildAttr(String childAttr) {
this.childAttr = childAttr;
}
}
Expected result would have been:
public class ParentSchema {
@JsonProperty("parentAttr")
private String parentAttr;
public String getParentAttr() {
return parentAttr;
}
public void setParentAttr(String parentAttr) {
this.parentAttr = parentAttr;
}
}
public class ChildSchema extends ParentSchema {
@JsonProperty("childAttr")
private String childAttr;
public String getChildAttr() {
return childAttr;
}
public void setChildAttr(String childAttr) {
this.childAttr = childAttr;
}
}
Now this expectation could of course be wrong. My question now would be if this inheritance use case is supported and/or if I would have to do something differently to get the desired result. Thanks.

Research direction
Reproduce the minimal OpenAPI examples from the issue in the playground with spring 2021.5 and locally with 2023.1.2. Compare the generated ParentSchema and ChildSchema output with the expected separate class hierarchy, then determine whether inheritance support is intended and what behavior should be documented or changed.
