also, there property file in resources folder contains:

app.docs=http://localhost:8080

when hitting "http://localhost:8080/api-docs" neither gives result nor error, on google rest response code 404.

please me on this.

the version you're using (0.8.2) old version of springfox. should try , move latest released version, 2.0.

to answer questions specifically.

1. move recent pre-2.0 version. change version of swagger-spingmvc in pom 1.0.2
2. the swagger configuration vastly simplified in later releases. change swaggerconfig this.

@configuration //hard tell without seeing configuration, optionally,  //add enablewebmvc annotation in case not working @enablewebmvc  @enableswagger //assuming controllers in package @componentscan(basepackages = "com.ucap.swagger")  public class swaggerconfig {      public static final list<string> default_include_patterns               = arrays.aslist("/news/.*");     //unless want group, recommend ignoring     public static final string swagger_group = "mobile-api";       @autowired     private springswaggerconfig springswaggerconfig;        @bean     public swaggerspringmvcplugin customimplementation(){         return new swaggerspringmvcplugin(this.springswaggerconfig)           .includepatterns(default_include_patterns);     } } 

3. you don't need path provider more.
4. you no longer need property file
