UI does not render when @ApiImplicitParam has not specified dataType

[rgsage]

An Api operation with swagger-annotations_2.10-1.3.0 implicit param like this:

@ApiImplicitParams(value = {
        @ApiImplicitParam(
                name = "Authorization",
                paramType = "header",
                value = "blah blah blah",
                required = true
        ),

Generates json like this:

parameters: [
{
    name: "Authorization",
    description: "blah blah blah",
    required: true,
    allowMultiple: false,
    type: "",
    paramType: "header"
},

Which causes the UI to generate empty resource_xyz elements, so clicking on them has no effect.

Adding:

                dataType = "string",

solves the problem. Perhaps the dom generation code could consider string as default type for implicit params? Or the annotation itself could provide a default value? The failure is silent so can take a while to figure out.

Yes, I will have the server throw an error rather than just silently fail, I think that is smarter than guessing the dataType:
