Inabily to refer to other POJO about jsonschema2pojo HOT 7 OPEN

"Boolean" is not a valid type, use "boolean" instead."Boolean" will be treated as a customized type, and lead to creating a new java class.

from jsonschema2pojo.

The answer here probably depends on how you are referencing those other types. If you want to refer to something on the classpath, you can use "existingJavaType" to refer to an existing class, so that nothing new is generated. Does that help?

For example in the jsonschema the reference looks like this "person" : { "$ref" : "external_jsongen.json#/definitions/Person" }.

The custum Boolean is needed for my app to work, there are more complex types too.

I've tried some solutions manually, and all it needs is to add include of the java classes for Example 'include com.example.external_module.Person'.

from jsonschema2pojo.

Are you able to edit the schema like this:

{ "existingJavaType" : "com.example.external_module.Person" }

?

Thanks for the response. It works, that is true, but its not the best solution and it will be a lot of work to rewrite my code to support this.

I also still need to have the external.json in the same directory. Is there a work around that?

I've encountred another problem. The solution u mentioned above works for non basic types (enums ...), but if I have "$ref" : "external.json#/definitions/myString" reference to string or int for example, it does not work, because the basic types aren't generated into java classes. Is there some solution for that?
