How @Success annotation gets parsed

[dhudici]

I'm running into some odd behavior (at least in relation to what I'm interpreting from the documentation).

I have the following structure and annotation using it for my handler.

type serviceMetrics struct {
    Id               string              `json:"Id"`
    ResponseTime     []map[string]string `json:"ResponseTime"`
    StatusInfo       []map[string]string `json:"StatusInfo"`
    AvailabilityInfo []map[string]string `json:"AvailabilityInfo"`
    ThroughputInfo   []map[string]string `json:"ThroughputInfo"`
}

@Success     200 {object} serviceMetrics

The struct is in the same .go file as the handler for which I have the @Success annotation. I added the json definition to try to fix the problem but it didn't seem to do anything and I still get the following error when running swagger with or without the definitions.

Can not find definition of []string model. Current package packagename

There is no array of strings present in the struct. What I actually return from the handler is a map[string]serviecMetrics but writing it like that doesn't seem to work since it doesn't recognize map.
