# LangChain4j AI Services Patterns
This skill provides guidance for building declarative AI Services with LangChain4j using interface-based patterns, annotations for system and user messages, memory management, tools integration, and advanced AI application patterns that abstract away low-level LLM interactions.
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Building declarative AI-powered interfaces with minimal boilerplate code
- Creating type-safe AI services with Java interfaces and annotations
- Implementing conversational AI systems with memory management
- Designing AI services that can call external tools and functions
- Building multi-agent systems with specialized AI components
- Creating AI services with different personas and behaviors
- Implementing RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) patterns declaratively
- Building production AI applications with proper error handling and validation
- Creating AI services that return structured data types (enums, POJOs, lists)
- Implementing streaming AI responses with reactive patterns
## Overview
LangChain4j AI Services allow you to define AI-powered functionality using plain Java interfaces with annotations, eliminating the need for manual prompt construction and response parsing. This pattern provides type-safe, declarative AI capabilities with minimal boilerplate code.
## Quick Start
### Basic AI Service Definition
```java
interface Assistant {
String chat(String userMessage);
}
// Create instance - LangChain4j generates implementation
Assistant assistant = AiServices.create(Assistant.class, chatModel);
// Use the service
String response = assistant.chat("Hello, how are you?");
```
### System Message and Templates
```java
interface CustomerSupportBot {
@SystemMessage("You are a helpful customer support agent for TechCorp")
String handleInquiry(String customerMessage);
@UserMessage("Analyze sentiment: {{it}}")
String analyzeSentiment(String feedback);
}
CustomerSupportBot bot = AiServices.create(CustomerSupportBot.class, chatModel);
```
### Memory Management
```java
interface MultiUserAssistant {
String chat(@MemoryId String userId, String userMessage);
}
Assistant assistant = AiServices.builder(MultiUserAssistant.class)
.chatModel(model)
.chatMemoryProvider(userId -> MessageWindowChatMemory.withMaxMessages(10))
.build();
```
### Tool Integration
```java
class Calculator {
@Tool("Add two numbers") double add(double a, double b) { return a + b; }
}
interface MathGenius {
String ask(String question);
}
MathGenius mathGenius = AiServices.builder(MathGenius.class)
.chatModel(model)
.tools(new Calculator())
.build();
```
## Examples
See [examples.md](references/examples.md) for comprehensive practical examples including:
- Basic chat interfaces
- Stateful assistants with memory
- Multi-user scenarios
- Structured output extraction
- Tool calling and function execution
- Streaming responses
- Error handling
- RAG integration
- Production patterns
## API Reference
Complete API documentation, annotations, interfaces, and configuration patterns are available in [references.md](references/references.md).
## Best Practices
1. **Use type-safe interfaces** instead of string-based prompts
2. **Implement proper memory management** with appropriate limits
3. **Design clear tool descriptions** with parameter documentation
4. **Handle errors gracefully** with custom error handlers
5. **Use structured output** for predictable responses
6. **Implement validation** for user inputs
7. **Monitor performance** for production deployments
## Dependencies

# LangChain4j AI Services - Practical Examples
This document provides practical, production-ready examples for LangChain4j AI Services patterns.
## 1. Basic Chat Interface
**Scenario**: Simple conversational interface without memory.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.service.AiServices;
import dev.langchain4j.service.UserMessage;
import dev.langchain4j.model.openai.OpenAiChatModel;
interface SimpleChat {
String chat(String userMessage);
}
public class BasicChatExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.temperature(0.7)
.build();
var chat = AiServices.builder(SimpleChat.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.build();
String response = chat.chat("What is Spring Boot?");
System.out.println(response);
}
}
```
## 2. Stateful Assistant with Memory
**Scenario**: Multi-turn conversation with 10-message history.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.service.AiServices;
import dev.langchain4j.memory.chat.MessageWindowChatMemory;
import dev.langchain4j.model.openai.OpenAiChatModel;
interface ConversationalAssistant {
String chat(String userMessage);
}
public class StatefulAssistantExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(ConversationalAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.chatMemory(MessageWindowChatMemory.withMaxMessages(10))
.build();
// Multi-turn conversation
System.out.println(assistant.chat("My name is Alice"));
System.out.println(assistant.chat("What is my name?")); // Remembers: "Your name is Alice"
System.out.println(assistant.chat("What year was Spring Boot released?")); // Answers: "2014"
System.out.println(assistant.chat("Tell me more about it")); // Context aware
}
}
```
## 3. Multi-User Memory with @MemoryId
**Scenario**: Separate conversation history per user.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.service.AiServices;
import dev.langchain4j.service.MemoryId;
import dev.langchain4j.memory.chat.MessageWindowChatMemory;
import dev.langchain4j.model.openai.OpenAiChatModel;
interface MultiUserAssistant {
String chat(@MemoryId int userId, String userMessage);
}
public class MultiUserMemoryExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(MultiUserAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.chatMemoryProvider(memoryId -> MessageWindowChatMemory.withMaxMessages(20))
.build();
// User 1 conversation
System.out.println(assistant.chat(1, "I like Java"));
System.out.println(assistant.chat(1, "What language do I prefer?")); // Java
// User 2 conversation - separate memory
System.out.println(assistant.chat(2, "I prefer Python"));
System.out.println(assistant.chat(2, "What language do I prefer?")); // Python
// User 1 - still remembers Java
System.out.println(assistant.chat(1, "What about me?")); // Java
}
}
```
## 4. System Message & Template Variables
**Scenario**: Configurable system prompt with dynamic template variables.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.service.AiServices;
import dev.langchain4j.service.SystemMessage;
import dev.langchain4j.service.UserMessage;
import dev.langchain4j.service.V;
import dev.langchain4j.model.openai.OpenAiChatModel;
interface TemplatedAssistant {
@SystemMessage("You are a {{role}} expert. Be concise and professional.")
String chat(@V("role") String role, String userMessage);
@SystemMessage("You are a helpful assistant. Translate to {{language}}")
@UserMessage("Translate this: {{text}}")
String translate(@V("text") String text, @V("language") String language);
}
public class TemplatedAssistantExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.temperature(0.3)
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.create(TemplatedAssistant.class, chatModel);
// Dynamic role
System.out.println(assistant.chat("Java", "Explain dependency injection"));
System.out.println(assistant.chat("DevOps", "Explain Docker containers"));
// Translation with template
System.out.println(assistant.translate("Hello, how are you?", "Spanish"));
System.out.println(assistant.translate("Good morning", "French"));
}
}
```
## 5. Structured Output Extraction
**Scenario**: Extract structured data (POJO, enum, list) from LLM responses.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.service.AiServices;
import dev.langchain4j.service.UserMessage;
import dev.langchain4j.model.output.structured.Description;
import dev.langchain4j.model.openai.OpenAiChatModel;
import java.util.List;
enum Sentiment {
POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, NEUTRAL
}
class ContactInfo {
@Description("Person's full name")
String fullName;
@Description("Email address")
String email;
@Description("Phone number with country code")
String phone;
}
interface DataExtractor {
@UserMessage("Analyze sentiment: {{text}}")
Sentiment extractSentiment(String text);
@UserMessage("Extract contact from: {{text}}")
ContactInfo extractContact(String text);
@UserMessage("List all technologies in: {{text}}")
List<String> extractTechnologies(String text);
@UserMessage("Count items in: {{text}}")
int countItems(String text);
}
public class StructuredOutputExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.responseFormat("json_object")
.build();
var extractor = AiServices.create(DataExtractor.class, chatModel);
// Enum extraction
Sentiment sentiment = extractor.extractSentiment("This product is amazing!");
System.out.println("Sentiment: " + sentiment); // POSITIVE
// POJO extraction
ContactInfo contact = extractor.extractContact(
"John Smith, john@example.com, +1-555-1234");
System.out.println("Name: " + contact.fullName);
System.out.println("Email: " + contact.email);
// List extraction
List<String> techs = extractor.extractTechnologies(
"We use Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, and Docker");
System.out.println("Technologies: " + techs); // [Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Docker]
// Primitive type
int count = extractor.countItems("I have 3 apples, 5 oranges, and 2 bananas");
System.out.println("Total items: " + count); // 10
}
}
```
## 6. Tool Calling / Function Calling
**Scenario**: LLM calls Java methods to solve problems.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.agent.tool.Tool;
import dev.langchain4j.agent.tool.P;
import dev.langchain4j.service.AiServices;
import dev.langchain4j.memory.chat.MessageWindowChatMemory;
import dev.langchain4j.model.openai.OpenAiChatModel;
import java.time.LocalDate;
class Calculator {
@Tool("Add two numbers")
int add(@P("first number") int a, @P("second number") int b) {
return a + b;
}
@Tool("Multiply two numbers")
int multiply(@P("first") int a, @P("second") int b) {
return a * b;
}
}
class WeatherService {
@Tool("Get weather for a city")
String getWeather(@P("city name") String city) {
// Simulate API call
return "Weather in " + city + ": 22°C, Sunny";
}
}
class DateService {
@Tool("Get current date")
String getCurrentDate() {
return LocalDate.now().toString();
}
}
interface ToolUsingAssistant {
String chat(String userMessage);
}
public class ToolCallingExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.temperature(0.0)
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(ToolUsingAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.chatMemory(MessageWindowChatMemory.withMaxMessages(10))
.tools(new Calculator(), new WeatherService(), new DateService())
.build();
// LLM calls tools automatically
System.out.println(assistant.chat("What is 25 + 37?"));
// Uses Calculator.add() → "25 + 37 equals 62"
System.out.println(assistant.chat("What's the weather in Paris?"));
// Uses WeatherService.getWeather() → "Weather in Paris: 22°C, Sunny"
System.out.println(assistant.chat("Calculate (5 + 3) * 4"));
// Uses add() and multiply() → "Result is 32"
System.out.println(assistant.chat("What's today's date?"));
// Uses getCurrentDate() → Shows current date
}
}
```
## 7. Streaming Responses
**Scenario**: Real-time token-by-token streaming for UI responsiveness.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.service.AiServices;
import dev.langchain4j.service.TokenStream;
import dev.langchain4j.model.openai.OpenAiStreamingChatModel;
interface StreamingAssistant {
TokenStream streamChat(String userMessage);
}
public class StreamingExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var streamingModel = OpenAiStreamingChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.temperature(0.7)
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(StreamingAssistant.class)
.streamingChatModel(streamingModel)
.build();
// Stream response token by token
assistant.streamChat("Tell me a short story about a robot")
.onNext(token -> System.out.print(token)) // Print each token
.onCompleteResponse(response -> {
System.out.println("\n--- Complete ---");
System.out.println("Tokens used: " + response.tokenUsage().totalTokenCount());
})
.onError(error -> System.err.println("Error: " + error.getMessage()))
.start();
// Wait for completion
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
}
}
```
## 8. System Persona with Context
**Scenario**: Different assistants with distinct personalities and knowledge domains.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.service.AiServices;
import dev.langchain4j.service.SystemMessage;
import dev.langchain4j.model.openai.OpenAiChatModel;
interface JavaExpert {
@SystemMessage("""
You are a Java expert with 15+ years experience.
Focus on best practices, performance, and clean code.
Provide code examples when relevant.
""")
String answer(String question);
}
interface SecurityExpert {
@SystemMessage("""
You are a cybersecurity expert specializing in application security.
Always consider OWASP principles and threat modeling.
Provide practical security recommendations.
""")
String answer(String question);
}
interface DevOpsExpert {
@SystemMessage("""
You are a DevOps engineer with expertise in cloud deployment,
CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and infrastructure as code.
""")
String answer(String question);
}
public class PersonaExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.temperature(0.5)
.build();
var javaExpert = AiServices.create(JavaExpert.class, chatModel);
var securityExpert = AiServices.create(SecurityExpert.class, chatModel);
var devopsExpert = AiServices.create(DevOpsExpert.class, chatModel);
var question = "How should I handle database connections?";
System.out.println("=== Java Expert ===");
System.out.println(javaExpert.answer(question));
System.out.println("\n=== Security Expert ===");
System.out.println(securityExpert.answer(question));
System.out.println("\n=== DevOps Expert ===");
System.out.println(devopsExpert.answer(question));
}
}
```
## 9. Error Handling & Tool Execution Errors
**Scenario**: Graceful handling of tool failures and LLM errors.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.agent.tool.Tool;
import dev.langchain4j.agent.tool.ToolExecutionRequest;
import dev.langchain4j.service.AiServices;
import dev.langchain4j.model.openai.OpenAiChatModel;
class DataAccessService {
@Tool("Query database for user")
String queryUser(String userId) {
// Simulate potential error
if (!userId.matches("\\d+")) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid user ID format");
}
return "User " + userId + ": John Doe";
}
@Tool("Update user email")
String updateEmail(String userId, String email) {
if (!email.contains("@")) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid email format");
}
return "Updated email for user " + userId;
}
}
interface ResilientAssistant {
String execute(String command);
}
public class ErrorHandlingExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(ResilientAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.tools(new DataAccessService())
.toolExecutionErrorHandler((request, exception) -> {
System.err.println("Tool error: " + exception.getMessage());
return "Error: " + exception.getMessage();
})
.build();
// Will handle tool errors gracefully
System.out.println(assistant.execute("Get details for user abc"));
System.out.println(assistant.execute("Update user 123 with invalid-email"));
}
}
```
## 10. RAG Integration with AI Services
**Scenario**: AI Service with content retrieval for knowledge-based Q&A.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.service.AiServices;
import dev.langchain4j.rag.content.retriever.EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever;
import dev.langchain4j.store.embedding.inmemory.InMemoryEmbeddingStore;
import dev.langchain4j.data.segment.TextSegment;
import dev.langchain4j.data.document.Document;
import dev.langchain4j.store.embedding.EmbeddingStoreIngestor;
import dev.langchain4j.model.openai.OpenAiEmbeddingModel;
import dev.langchain4j.model.openai.OpenAiChatModel;
interface KnowledgeBaseAssistant {
String askAbout(String question);
}
public class RAGIntegrationExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Setup embedding store
var embeddingStore = new InMemoryEmbeddingStore<TextSegment>();
// Setup models
var embeddingModel = OpenAiEmbeddingModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("text-embedding-3-small")
.build();
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.build();
// Ingest documents
var ingestor = EmbeddingStoreIngestor.builder()
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.build();
ingestor.ingest(Document.from("Spring Boot is a framework for building Java applications."));
ingestor.ingest(Document.from("Spring Data JPA simplifies database access."));
// Create retriever
var contentRetriever = EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever.builder()
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.maxResults(3)
.minScore(0.7)
.build();
// Create AI Service with RAG
var assistant = AiServices.builder(KnowledgeBaseAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.contentRetriever(contentRetriever)
.build();
String answer = assistant.askAbout("What is Spring Boot?");
System.out.println(answer);
}
}
```
## Best Practices Summary
1. **Always use @SystemMessage** for consistent behavior across different messages

# LangChain4j AI Services - API References
Complete API reference for LangChain4j AI Services patterns.
## Core Interfaces and Classes
### AiServices Builder
**Purpose**: Creates implementations of custom Java interfaces backed by LLM capabilities.
```java
public class AiServices {
static <T> AiServicesBuilder<T> builder(Class<T> aiService)
// Create builder for an AI service interface
static <T> T create(Class<T> aiService, ChatModel chatModel)
// Quick creation with just chat model
static <T> T builder(Class<T> aiService)
.chatModel(ChatModel chatModel) // Required for sync
.streamingChatModel(StreamingChatModel) // Required for streaming
.chatMemory(ChatMemory) // Single shared memory
.chatMemoryProvider(ChatMemoryProvider) // Per-user memory
.tools(Object... tools) // Register tool objects
.toolProvider(ToolProvider) // Dynamic tool selection
.contentRetriever(ContentRetriever) // For RAG
.retrievalAugmentor(RetrievalAugmentor) // Advanced RAG
.moderationModel(ModerationModel) // Content moderation
.build() // Build the implementation
}
```
### Core Annotations
**@SystemMessage**: Define system prompt for the AI service.
```java
@SystemMessage("You are a helpful Java developer")
String chat(String userMessage);
// Template variables
@SystemMessage("You are a {{expertise}} expert")
String explain(@V("expertise") String domain, String question);
```
**@UserMessage**: Define user message template.
```java
@UserMessage("Translate to {{language}}: {{text}}")
String translate(@V("language") String lang, @V("text") String text);
// With method parameters matching template
@UserMessage("Summarize: {{it}}")
String summarize(String text); // {{it}} refers to parameter
```
**@MemoryId**: Create separate memory context per identifier.
```java
interface MultiUserChat {
String chat(@MemoryId String userId, String message);
String chat(@MemoryId int sessionId, String message);
}
```
**@V**: Map method parameter to template variable.
```java
@UserMessage("Write {{type}} code for {{language}}")
String writeCode(@V("type") String codeType, @V("language") String lang);
```
### ChatMemory Implementations
**MessageWindowChatMemory**: Keeps last N messages.
```java
ChatMemory memory = MessageWindowChatMemory.withMaxMessages(10);
// Or with explicit builder
ChatMemory memory = MessageWindowChatMemory.builder()
.maxMessages(10)
.build();
```
**ChatMemoryProvider**: Factory for creating per-user memory.
```java
ChatMemoryProvider provider = memoryId ->
MessageWindowChatMemory.withMaxMessages(20);
```
### Tool Integration
**@Tool**: Mark methods that LLM can call.
```java
@Tool("Calculate sum of two numbers")
int add(@P("first number") int a, @P("second number") int b) {
return a + b;
}
```
**@P**: Parameter description for LLM.
```java
@Tool("Search documents")
List<Document> search(
@P("search query") String query,
@P("max results") int limit
) { ... }
```
**ToolProvider**: Dynamic tool selection based on context.
```java
interface DynamicToolAssistant {
String execute(String command);
}
ToolProvider provider = context ->
context.contains("calculate") ? new Calculator() : new DataService();
```
### Structured Output
**@Description**: Annotate output fields for extraction.
```java
class Person {
@Description("Person's full name")
String name;
@Description("Age in years")
int age;
}
interface Extractor {
@UserMessage("Extract person from: {{it}}")
Person extract(String text);
}
```
### Error Handling
**ToolExecutionErrorHandler**: Handle tool execution failures.
```java
.toolExecutionErrorHandler((request, exception) -> {
logger.error("Tool failed: " + request.name(), exception);
return "Tool execution failed: " + exception.getMessage();
})
```
**ToolArgumentsErrorHandler**: Handle malformed tool arguments.
```java
.toolArgumentsErrorHandler((request, exception) -> {
logger.warn("Invalid arguments for " + request.name());
return "Please provide valid arguments";
})
```
## Streaming APIs
### TokenStream
**Purpose**: Handle streaming LLM responses token-by-token.
```java
interface StreamingAssistant {
TokenStream streamChat(String message);
}
TokenStream stream = assistant.streamChat("Tell me a story");
stream
.onNext(token -> {
// Process each token
System.out.print(token);
})
.onCompleteResponse(response -> {
// Full response available
System.out.println("\nTokens used: " + response.tokenUsage());
})
.onError(error -> {
System.err.println("Error: " + error);
})
.onToolExecuted(toolExecution -> {
System.out.println("Tool: " + toolExecution.request().name());
})
.onRetrieved(contents -> {
// RAG content retrieved
contents.forEach(c -> System.out.println(c.textSegment()));
})
.start();
```
### StreamingChatResponseHandler
**Purpose**: Callback-based streaming without TokenStream.
```java
streamingModel.chat(request, new StreamingChatResponseHandler() {
@Override
public void onPartialResponse(String partialResponse) {
System.out.print(partialResponse);
}
@Override
public void onCompleteResponse(ChatResponse response) {
System.out.println("\nComplete!");
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable error) {
error.printStackTrace();
}
});
```
## Content Retrieval
### ContentRetriever Interface
**Purpose**: Fetch relevant content for RAG.
```java
interface ContentRetriever {
Content retrieve(Query query);
List<Content> retrieveAll(List<Query> queries);
}
```
### EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever
```java
ContentRetriever retriever = EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever.builder()
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.maxResults(5) // Default max results
.minScore(0.7) // Similarity threshold
.dynamicMaxResults(query -> 10) // Query-dependent
.dynamicMinScore(query -> 0.8) // Query-dependent
.filter(new IsEqualTo("userId", "123")) // Metadata filter
.dynamicFilter(query -> {...}) // Dynamic filter
.build();
```
### RetrievalAugmentor
**Purpose**: Advanced RAG pipeline with query transformation and re-ranking.
```java
RetrievalAugmentor augmentor = DefaultRetrievalAugmentor.builder()
.queryTransformer(new CompressingQueryTransformer(chatModel))
.contentRetriever(contentRetriever)
.contentAggregator(ReRankingContentAggregator.builder()
.scoringModel(scoringModel)
.minScore(0.8)
.build())
.build();
// Use with AI Service
var assistant = AiServices.builder(Assistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.retrievalAugmentor(augmentor)
.build();
```
## Request/Response Models
### ChatRequest
**Purpose**: Build complex chat requests with multiple messages.
```java
ChatRequest request = ChatRequest.builder()
.messages(
SystemMessage.from("You are helpful"),
UserMessage.from("What is AI?"),
AiMessage.from("AI is...")
)
.temperature(0.7)
.maxTokens(500)
.topP(0.95)
.build();
ChatResponse response = chatModel.chat(request);
```
### ChatResponse
**Purpose**: Access chat model responses and metadata.
```java
String content = response.aiMessage().text();
TokenUsage usage = response.tokenUsage();
System.out.println("Tokens: " + usage.totalTokenCount());
System.out.println("Prompt tokens: " + usage.inputTokenCount());
System.out.println("Completion tokens: " + usage.outputTokenCount());
System.out.println("Finish reason: " + response.finishReason());
```
## Query and Content
### Query
**Purpose**: Represent a user query in retrieval context.
```java
// Query object contains:
String text // The query text
Metadata metadata() // Query metadata (e.g., userId)
Object metadata(String key) // Get metadata value
Object metadata(String key, Object defaultValue)
```
### Content
**Purpose**: Retrieved content with metadata.
```java
String textSegment() // Retrieved text
double score() // Relevance score
Metadata metadata() // Content metadata (e.g., source)
Map<String, Object> source() // Original source data
```
## Message Types
### SystemMessage
```java
SystemMessage message = SystemMessage.from("You are a code reviewer");
```
### UserMessage
```java
UserMessage message = UserMessage.from("Review this code");
// With images
UserMessage message = UserMessage.from(
TextContent.from("Analyze this"),
ImageContent.from("http://...", "image/png")
);
```
### AiMessage
```java
AiMessage message = AiMessage.from("Here's my analysis");
// With tool calls
AiMessage message = AiMessage.from(
"Let me calculate",
ToolExecutionResultMessage.from(toolName, result)
);
```
## Configuration Patterns
### Chat Model Configuration
```java
ChatModel model = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini") // Model selection
.temperature(0.7) // Creativity (0-2)
.topP(0.95) // Diversity (0-1)
.topK(40) // Top K tokens
.maxTokens(2000) // Max generation
.frequencyPenalty(0.0) // Reduce repetition
.presencePenalty(0.0) // Reduce topic switching
.seed(42) // Reproducibility
.logRequests(true) // Debug logging
.logResponses(true) // Debug logging
.build();
```
### Embedding Model Configuration
```java
EmbeddingModel embedder = OpenAiEmbeddingModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("text-embedding-3-small")
.dimensions(512) // Custom dimensions
.build();
```
## Best Practices for API Usage
1. **Type Safety**: Always define typed interfaces for type safety at compile time
2. **Separation of Concerns**: Use different interfaces for different domains
3. **Error Handling**: Always implement error handlers for tools
4. **Memory Management**: Choose appropriate memory implementation for use case
5. **Token Optimization**: Use temperature=0 for deterministic tasks
6. **Testing**: Mock ChatModel for unit tests
7. **Logging**: Enable request/response logging in development
8. **Rate Limiting**: Implement backoff strategies for API calls
9. **Caching**: Cache responses for frequently asked questions
10. **Monitoring**: Track token usage for cost management
## Common Patterns
### Factory Pattern for Multiple Assistants
```java
public class AssistantFactory {
static JavaExpert createJavaExpert() {
return AiServices.create(JavaExpert.class, chatModel);
}
static PythonExpert createPythonExpert() {
return AiServices.create(PythonExpert.class, chatModel);
}
}
```
### Decorator Pattern for Enhanced Functionality
```java
public class LoggingAssistant implements Assistant {
private final Assistant delegate;
public String chat(String message) {
logger.info("User: " + message);
String response = delegate.chat(message);
logger.info("Assistant: " + response);
return response;
}
}
```
### Builder Pattern for Complex Configurations
```java
var assistant = AiServices.builder(ComplexAssistant.class)
.chatModel(getChatModel())
.chatMemory(getMemory())
.tools(getTool1(), getTool2())
.contentRetriever(getRetriever())
.build();
```

# LangChain4j MCP Server Implementation Patterns
Implement Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with LangChain4j to extend AI capabilities with standardized tools, resources, and prompt templates.
## When to Use
Use this skill when building:
- AI applications requiring external tool integration
- Enterprise MCP servers with multi-domain support (GitHub, databases, APIs)
- Dynamic tool providers with context-aware filtering
- Resource-based data access systems for AI models
- Prompt template servers for standardized AI interactions
- Scalable AI agents with resilient tool execution
- Multi-modal AI applications with diverse data sources
- Spring Boot applications with MCP integration
- Production-ready MCP servers with security and monitoring
## Quick Start
### Basic MCP Server
Create a simple MCP server with one tool:
```java
MCPServer server = MCPServer.builder()
.server(new StdioServer.Builder())
.addToolProvider(new SimpleWeatherToolProvider())
.build();
server.start();
```
### Spring Boot Integration
Configure MCP server in Spring Boot:
```java
@Bean
public MCPSpringConfig mcpServer(List<ToolProvider> tools) {
return MCPSpringConfig.builder()
.tools(tools)
.server(new StdioServer.Builder())
.build();
}
```
## Core Concepts
### MCP Architecture
MCP standardizes AI application connections:
- **Tools**: Executable functions (database queries, API calls)
- **Resources**: Data sources (files, schemas, documentation)
- **Prompts**: Pre-configured templates for tasks
- **Transport**: Communication layer (stdio, HTTP, WebSocket)
```
AI Application ←→ MCP Client ←→ Transport ←→ MCP Server ←→ External Service
```
### Key Components
- **MCPServer**: Main server instance with configuration
- **ToolProvider**: Tool specification and execution interface
- **ResourceListProvider/ResourceReadHandler**: Resource access
- **PromptListProvider/PromptGetHandler**: Template management
- **Transport**: Communication mechanisms (stdio, HTTP)
## Implementation Patterns
### Tool Provider Pattern
Create tools with proper schema validation:
```java
class WeatherToolProvider implements ToolProvider {
@Override
public List<ToolSpecification> listTools() {
return List.of(ToolSpecification.builder()
.name("get_weather")
.description("Get weather for a city")
.inputSchema(Map.of(
"type", "object",
"properties", Map.of(
"city", Map.of("type", "string", "description", "City name")
),
"required", List.of("city")
))
.build());
}
@Override
public String executeTool(String name, String arguments) {
// Parse arguments and execute tool logic
return "Weather data result";
}
}
```
### Resource Provider Pattern
Provide static and dynamic resources:
```java
class CompanyResourceProvider
implements ResourceListProvider, ResourceReadHandler {
@Override
public List<McpResource> listResources() {
return List.of(
McpResource.builder()
.uri("policies")
.name("Company Policies")
.mimeType("text/plain")
.build()
);
}
@Override
public String readResource(String uri) {
return loadResourceContent(uri);
}
}
```
### Prompt Template Pattern
Create reusable prompt templates:
```java
class PromptTemplateProvider
implements PromptListProvider, PromptGetHandler {
@Override
public List<Prompt> listPrompts() {
return List.of(
Prompt.builder()
.name("code-review")
.description("Review code for quality")
.build()
);
}
@Override
public String getPrompt(String name, Map<String, String> args) {
return applyTemplate(name, args);
}
}
```
## Transport Configuration
### Stdio Transport
Local process communication:
```java
McpTransport transport = new StdioMcpTransport.Builder()
.command(List.of("npm", "exec", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"))
.logEvents(true)
.build();
```
### HTTP Transport
Remote server communication:
```java
McpTransport transport = new HttpMcpTransport.Builder()
.sseUrl("http://localhost:3001/sse")
.logRequests(true)
.logResponses(true)
.build();
```
## Client Integration
### MCP Client Setup
Connect to MCP servers:
```java
McpClient client = new DefaultMcpClient.Builder()
.key("my-client")
.transport(transport)
.cacheToolList(true)
.build();
// List available tools
List<ToolSpecification> tools = client.listTools();
```
### Tool Provider Integration
Bridge MCP servers to LangChain4j AI services:
```java
McpToolProvider provider = McpToolProvider.builder()
.mcpClients(mcpClient)
.failIfOneServerFails(false)
.filter((client, tool) -> filterByPermissions(tool))
.build();
// Integrate with AI service
AIAssistant assistant = AiServices.builder(AIAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.toolProvider(provider)
.build();
```
## Security & Best Practices
### Tool Security
Implement secure tool filtering:
```java
McpToolProvider secureProvider = McpToolProvider.builder()
.mcpClients(mcpClient)
.filter((client, tool) -> {
if (tool.name().startsWith("admin_") && !isAdmin()) {
return false;
}
return true;
})
.build();
```
### Resource Security
Apply access controls to resources:
```java
public boolean canAccessResource(String uri, User user) {
return resourceService.hasAccess(uri, user);
}
```
### Error Handling
Implement robust error handling:
```java
try {
String result = mcpClient.executeTool(request);
} catch (McpException e) {
log.error("MCP execution failed: {}", e.getMessage());
return fallbackResult();
}
```
## Advanced Patterns
### Multi-Server Configuration
Configure multiple MCP servers:
```java
@Bean
public List<McpClient> mcpClients(List<ServerConfig> configs) {
return configs.stream()
.map(this::createMcpClient)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
}
@Bean
public McpToolProvider multiServerProvider(List<McpClient> clients) {
return McpToolProvider.builder()
.mcpClients(clients)
.failIfOneServerFails(false)
.build();
}
```
### Dynamic Tool Discovery
Runtime tool filtering based on context:
```java
McpToolProvider contextualProvider = McpToolProvider.builder()
.mcpClients(clients)
.filter((client, tool) -> isToolAllowed(user, tool, context))
.build();
```
### Health Monitoring
Monitor MCP server health:
```java
@Component
public class McpHealthChecker {
@Scheduled(fixedRate = 30000) // 30 seconds
public void checkServers() {
mcpClients.forEach(client -> {
try {
client.listTools();
markHealthy(client.key());
} catch (Exception e) {
markUnhealthy(client.key(), e.getMessage());
}
});
}
}
```
## Configuration
### Application Properties
Configure MCP servers in application.yml:
```yaml
mcp:
servers:
github:
type: docker
command: ["/usr/local/bin/docker", "run", "-e", "GITHUB_TOKEN", "-i", "mcp/github"]
log-events: true
database:
type: stdio
command: ["/usr/bin/npm", "exec", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-sqlite"]
log-events: false
```
### Spring Boot Configuration
Configure MCP with Spring Boot:
```java
@Configuration
@EnableConfigurationProperties(McpProperties.class)
public class McpConfiguration {
@Bean
public MCPServer mcpServer(List<ToolProvider> providers) {
return MCPServer.builder()
.server(new StdioServer.Builder())
.addToolProvider(providers)
.enableLogging(true)
.build();
}
}
```

**Configuration Methods:**
```java
McpToolProvider provider = McpToolProvider.builder()
.mcpClients(client1, client2) // Add MCP clients
.failIfOneServerFails(false) // Configure failure handling
.filterToolNames("tool1", "tool2") // Filter by names
.filter((client, tool) -> logic) // Custom filtering
.build();
```
## Transport Configuration
### StdioMcpTransport.Builder
For local process communication with npm packages or Docker containers.
```java
McpTransport transport = new StdioMcpTransport.Builder()
.command(List.of("npm", "exec", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything@0.6.2"))
.logEvents(true)
.build();
```
### HttpMcpTransport.Builder
For HTTP-based communication with remote MCP servers.
```java
McpTransport transport = new HttpMcpTransport.Builder()
.sseUrl("http://localhost:3001/sse")
.logRequests(true)
.logResponses(true)
.build();
```
### StreamableHttpMcpTransport.Builder
For streamable HTTP transport with enhanced performance.
```java
McpTransport transport = new StreamableHttpMcpTransport.Builder()
.url("http://localhost:3001/mcp")
.logRequests(true)
.logResponses(true)
.build();
```
## AI Service Integration
### AiServices.builder()
Create AI services integrated with MCP tool providers.
**Integration Methods:**
```java
AIAssistant assistant = AiServices.builder(AIAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.toolProvider(toolProvider)
.chatMemoryProvider(memoryProvider)
.build();
```
## Error Handling and Management
### Exception Handling
Handle MCP-specific exceptions gracefully:
```java
try {
String result = mcpClient.executeTool(request);
} catch (McpException e) {
log.error("MCP execution failed: {}", e.getMessage());
// Implement fallback logic
}
```
### Retry and Resilience
Implement retry logic for unreliable MCP servers:
```java
RetryTemplate retryTemplate = RetryTemplate.builder()
.maxAttempts(3)
.exponentialBackoff(1000, 2, 10000)
.build();
String result = retryTemplate.execute(context ->
mcpClient.executeTool(request));
```
## Configuration Properties
### Application Configuration
```yaml
mcp:
fail-if-one-server-fails: false
cache-tools: true
servers:
github:
type: docker
command: ["/usr/local/bin/docker", "run", "-e", "GITHUB_TOKEN", "-i", "mcp/github"]
log-events: true
database:
type: stdio
command: ["/usr/bin/npm", "exec", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-sqlite"]
log-events: false
```
### Spring Boot Configuration
```java
@Configuration
@EnableConfigurationProperties(McpProperties.class)
public class McpConfiguration {
@Bean
public List<McpClient> mcpClients(McpProperties properties) {
return properties.getServers().entrySet().stream()
.map(entry -> createMcpClient(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue()))
.collect(Collectors.toList());
}
@Bean
public McpToolProvider mcpToolProvider(List<McpClient> mcpClients, McpProperties properties) {
return McpToolProvider.builder()
.mcpClients(mcpClients)
.failIfOneServerFails(properties.isFailIfOneServerFails())
.build();
}
}
```
## Tool Specification and Execution
### Tool Specification
Define tools with proper schema:
```java
ToolSpecification toolSpec = ToolSpecification.builder()
.name("database_query")
.description("Execute SQL queries against the database")
.inputSchema(Map.of(
"type", "object",
"properties", Map.of(
"sql", Map.of(
"type", "string",
"description", "SQL query to execute"
)
)
))
.build();
```
### Tool Execution
Execute tools with structured requests:
```java
ToolExecutionRequest request = ToolExecutionRequest.builder()
.name("database_query")
.arguments("{\"sql\": \"SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 10\"}")
.build();
String result = mcpClient.executeTool(request);
```
## Resource Handling
### Resource Access
Access and utilize MCP resources:
```java
// List available resources
List<McpResource> resources = mcpClient.listResources();
// Get specific resource content
String content = mcpClient.getResource("resource://schema/database");
// Work with resource templates
List<McpResourceTemplate> templates = mcpClient.listResourceTemplates();
```
### Resource as Tools
Convert MCP resources to tools automatically:
```java
DefaultMcpResourcesAsToolsPresenter presenter =
new DefaultMcpResourcesAsToolsPresenter();
mcpToolProvider.provideTools(presenter);
// Adds 'list_resources' and 'get_resource' tools automatically
```
## Security and Filtering
### Tool Filtering
Implement security-conscious tool filtering:
```java
McpToolProvider secureProvider = McpToolProvider.builder()
.mcpClients(mcpClient)
.filter((client, tool) -> {
// Check user permissions
if (tool.name().startsWith("admin_") && !currentUser.hasRole("ADMIN")) {
return false;
}
return true;
})
.build();
```
### Resource Security
Apply security controls to resource access:
```java
public boolean canAccessResource(String uri, User user) {
if (uri.contains("sensitive/") && !user.hasRole("ADMIN")) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
```
## Performance Optimization
### Caching Strategy
Implement intelligent caching:
```java
// Enable tool caching for performance
McpClient client = new DefaultMcpClient.Builder()
.transport(transport)
.cacheToolList(true)
.build();
// Periodic cache refresh
@Scheduled(fixedRate = 300000) // 5 minutes
public void refreshToolCache() {
mcpClients.forEach(client -> {
try {
client.invalidateCache();
client.listTools(); // Preload cache
} catch (Exception e) {
log.warn("Cache refresh failed: {}", e.getMessage());
}
});
}
```
### Connection Pooling
Optimize connection management:
```java
@Bean
public Executor mcpExecutor() {
return Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10); // Dedicated thread pool
}
```
## Testing and Validation
### Mock Configuration
Setup for testing:
```java
@TestConfiguration
public class MockMcpConfiguration {
@Bean
@Primary
public McpClient mockMcpClient() {
McpClient mock = Mockito.mock(McpClient.class);
when(mock.listTools()).thenReturn(List.of(
ToolSpecification.builder()
.name("test_tool")
.description("Test tool")
.build()
));
when(mock.executeTool(any(ToolExecutionRequest.class)))
.thenReturn("Mock result");
return mock;
}
}
```
### Integration Testing
Test MCP integrations:
```java
@SpringBootTest
class McpIntegrationTest {
@Autowired
private AIAssistant assistant;
@Test
void shouldExecuteToolsSuccessfully() {
String response = assistant.chat("Execute test tool");
assertThat(response).contains("Mock result");
}
}
```
## Monitoring and Observability
### Health Checks
Monitor MCP server health:
```java
@Component
public class McpHealthChecker {
@EventListener
@Async
public void checkHealth() {
mcpClients.forEach(client -> {
try {
client.listTools(); // Simple health check
healthRegistry.markHealthy(client.key());
} catch (Exception e) {
healthRegistry.markUnhealthy(client.key(), e.getMessage());
}
});
}
}
```
### Metrics Collection
Collect execution metrics:
```java
@Bean
public Counter toolExecutionCounter(MeterRegistry meterRegistry) {
return meterRegistry.counter("mcp.tool.execution", "type", "total");
}
@Bean
public Timer toolExecutionTimer(MeterRegistry meterRegistry) {
return meterRegistry.timer("mcp.tool.execution.time");
}
```
## Migration and Versioning
### Version Compatibility
Handle version compatibility:
```java
public class VersionedMcpClient {
public boolean isCompatible(String serverVersion) {
return semanticVersionChecker.isCompatible(
REQUIRED_MCP_VERSION, serverVersion);
}
public McpClient createClient(ServerConfig config) {
if (!isCompatible(config.getVersion())) {
throw new IncompatibleVersionException(
"Server version " + config.getVersion() +
" is not compatible with required " + REQUIRED_MCP_VERSION);
}
return new DefaultMcpClient.Builder()
.transport(createTransport(config))
.build();
}
}
```

# LangChain4j MCP Server Implementation Examples
This document provides comprehensive, production-ready examples for implementing MCP servers with LangChain4j.
## Basic MCP Server Setup
### Simple MCP Server Implementation
Create a basic MCP server with single tool functionality:
```java
import dev.langchain4j.mcp.MCPServer;
import dev.langchain4j.mcp.ToolProvider;
import dev.langchain4j.mcp.server.StdioServer;
public class BasicMcpServer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MCPServer server = MCPServer.builder()
.server(new StdioServer.Builder())
.addToolProvider(new SimpleWeatherToolProvider())
.build();
// Start the server
server.start();
}
}
class SimpleWeatherToolProvider implements ToolProvider {
@Override
public List<ToolSpecification> listTools() {
return List.of(ToolSpecification.builder()
.name("get_weather")
.description("Get weather information for a city")
.inputSchema(Map.of(
"type", "object",
"properties", Map.of(
"city", Map.of(
"type", "string",
"description", "City name to get weather for"
)
),
"required", List.of("city")
))
.build());
}
@Override
public String executeTool(String name, String arguments) {
if ("get_weather".equals(name)) {
JsonObject args = JsonParser.parseString(arguments).getAsJsonObject();
String city = args.get("city").getAsString();
// Simulate weather API call
return String.format("Weather in %s: Sunny, 22°C", city);
}
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Unknown tool: " + name);
}
}
```
### Spring Boot MCP Server Integration
Integrate MCP server with Spring Boot application:
```java
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
@SpringBootApplication
public class McpSpringBootApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(McpSpringBootApplication.class, args);
}
@Bean
public MCPServer mcpServer() {
return MCPServer.builder()
.server(new StdioServer.Builder())
.addToolProvider(new DatabaseToolProvider())
.addToolProvider(new FileToolProvider())
.build();
}
}
@Component
class DatabaseToolProvider implements ToolProvider {
@Override
public List<ToolSpecification> listTools() {
return List.of(ToolSpecification.builder()
.name("query_database")
.description("Execute SQL queries against the database")
.inputSchema(Map.of(
"type", "object",
"properties", Map.of(
"sql", Map.of(
"type", "string",
"description", "SQL query to execute"
)
),
"required", List.of("sql")
))
.build());
}
@Override
public String executeTool(String name, String arguments) {
if ("query_database".equals(name)) {
JsonObject args = JsonParser.parseString(arguments).getAsJsonObject();
String sql = args.get("sql").getAsString();
// Execute database query
return executeDatabaseQuery(sql);
}
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Unknown tool: " + name);
}
private String executeDatabaseQuery(String sql) {
// Implementation using Spring Data JPA
try {
return jdbcTemplate.queryForObject(sql, String.class);
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Error executing query: " + e.getMessage();
}
}
}
```
## Multi-Tool MCP Server
### Enterprise MCP Server with Multiple Tools
Create a comprehensive MCP server with multiple tool providers:
```java
@Component
public class EnterpriseMcpServer {
@Bean
public MCPServer enterpriseMcpServer(
GitHubToolProvider githubToolProvider,
DatabaseToolProvider databaseToolProvider,
FileToolProvider fileToolProvider,
EmailToolProvider emailToolProvider) {
return MCPServer.builder()
.server(new StdioServer.Builder())
.addToolProvider(githubToolProvider)
.addToolProvider(databaseToolProvider)
.addToolProvider(fileToolProvider)
.addToolProvider(emailToolProvider)
.enableLogging(true)
.setLogHandler(new CustomLogHandler())
.build();
}
}
@Component
class GitHubToolProvider implements ToolProvider {
@Override
public List<ToolSpecification> listTools() {
return List.of(
ToolSpecification.builder()
.name("get_issue")
.description("Get GitHub issue details")
.inputSchema(Map.of(
"type", "object",
"properties", Map.of(
"owner", Map.of(
"type", "string",
"description", "Repository owner"
),
"repo", Map.of(
"type", "string",
"description", "Repository name"
),
"issue_number", Map.of(
"type", "integer",
"description", "Issue number"
)
),
"required", List.of("owner", "repo", "issue_number")
))
.build(),
ToolSpecification.builder()
.name("list_issues")
.description("List GitHub issues for a repository")
.inputSchema(Map.of(
"type", "object",
"properties", Map.of(
"owner", Map.of(
"type", "string",
"description", "Repository owner"
),
"repo", Map.of(
"type", "string",
"description", "Repository name"
),
"state", Map.of(
"type", "string",
"description", "Issue state: open, closed, all",
"enum", List.of("open", "closed", "all")
)
),
"required", List.of("owner", "repo")
))
.build()
);
}
@Override
public String executeTool(String name, String arguments) {
switch (name) {
case "get_issue":
return getIssueDetails(arguments);
case "list_issues":
return listRepositoryIssues(arguments);
default:
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Unknown tool: " + name);
}
}
private String getIssueDetails(String arguments) {
JsonObject args = JsonParser.parseString(arguments).getAsJsonObject();
String owner = args.get("owner").getAsString();
String repo = args.get("repo").getAsString();
int issueNumber = args.get("issue_number").getAsInt();
// Call GitHub API
GitHubIssue issue = githubService.getIssue(owner, repo, issueNumber);
return "Issue #" + issueNumber + ": " + issue.getTitle() +
"\nState: " + issue.getState() +
"\nCreated: " + issue.getCreatedAt();
}
private String listRepositoryIssues(String arguments) {
JsonObject args = JsonParser.parseString(arguments).getAsJsonObject();
String owner = args.get("owner").getAsString();
String repo = args.get("repo").getAsString();
String state = args.has("state") ? args.get("state").getAsString() : "open";
List<GitHubIssue> issues = githubService.listIssues(owner, repo, state);
return issues.stream()
.map(issue -> "#%d: %s (%s)".formatted(issue.getNumber(), issue.getTitle(), issue.getState()))
.collect(Collectors.joining("\n"));
}
}
```
## Resource Provider Implementation
### Static Resource Provider
Provide static resources for context enhancement:
```java
@Component
class StaticResourceProvider implements ResourceListProvider, ResourceReadHandler {
private final Map<String, String> resources = new HashMap<>();
public StaticResourceProvider() {
// Initialize with static resources
resources.put("company-policies", loadCompanyPolicies());
resources.put("api-documentation", loadApiDocumentation());
resources.put("best-practices", loadBestPractices());
}
@Override
public List<McpResource> listResources() {
return resources.keySet().stream()
.map(uri -> McpResource.builder()
.uri(uri)
.name(uri.replace("-", " "))
.description("Documentation resource")
.mimeType("text/plain")
.build())
.collect(Collectors.toList());
}
@Override
public String readResource(String uri) {
if (!resources.containsKey(uri)) {
throw new ResourceNotFoundException("Resource not found: " + uri);
}
return resources.get(uri);
}
private String loadCompanyPolicies() {
// Load company policies from file or database
return "Company Policies:\n1. Work hours: 9-5\n2. Security compliance\n3. Data privacy";
}
private String loadApiDocumentation() {
// Load API documentation
return "API Documentation:\nGET /api/users - List users\nPOST /api/users - Create user";
}
}
```
### Dynamic Resource Provider
Create dynamic resources that update in real-time:
```java
@Component
class DynamicResourceProvider implements ResourceListProvider, ResourceReadHandler {
@Autowired
private MetricsService metricsService;
@Override
public List<McpResource> listResources() {
return List.of(
McpResource.builder()
.uri("system-metrics")
.name("System Metrics")
.description("Real-time system performance metrics")
.mimeType("application/json")
.build(),
McpResource.builder()
.uri("user-analytics")
.name("User Analytics")
.description("User behavior and usage statistics")
.mimeType("application/json")
.build()
);
}
@Override
public String readResource(String uri) {
switch (uri) {
case "system-metrics":
return metricsService.getCurrentSystemMetrics();
case "user-analytics":
return metricsService.getUserAnalytics();
default:
throw new ResourceNotFoundException("Resource not found: " + uri);
}
}
}
```
## Prompt Template Provider
### Prompt Template Server
Create prompt templates for common AI tasks:
```java
@Component
class PromptTemplateProvider implements PromptListProvider, PromptGetHandler {
private final Map<String, PromptTemplate> templates = new HashMap<>();
public PromptTemplateProvider() {
templates.put("code-review", PromptTemplate.builder()
.name("Code Review")
.description("Review code for quality, security, and best practices")
.template("Review the following code for:\n" +
"1. Code quality and readability\n" +
"2. Security vulnerabilities\n" +
"3. Performance optimizations\n" +
"4. Best practices compliance\n\n" +
"Code:\n" +
"```{code}```\n\n" +
"Provide a detailed analysis with specific recommendations.")
.build());
templates.put("documentation-generation", PromptTemplate.builder()
.name("Documentation Generator")
.description("Generate technical documentation from code")
.template("Generate comprehensive documentation for the following code:\n" +
"{code}\n\n" +
"Include:\n" +
"1. Function/method signatures\n" +
"2. Parameters and return values\n" +
"3. Purpose and usage examples\n" +
"4. Dependencies and requirements")
.build());
}
@Override
public List<Prompt> listPrompts() {
return templates.values().stream()
.map(template -> Prompt.builder()
.name(template.getName())
.description(template.getDescription())
.build())
.collect(Collectors.toList());
}
@Override
public String getPrompt(String name, Map<String, String> arguments) {
PromptTemplate template = templates.get(name);
if (template == null) {
throw new PromptNotFoundException("Prompt not found: " + name);
}
// Replace template variables
String content = template.getTemplate();
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : arguments.entrySet()) {
content = content.replace("{" + entry.getKey() + "}", entry.getValue());
}
return content;
}
}
```
## Error Handling and Validation
### Robust Error Handling
Implement comprehensive error handling and validation:
```java
@Component
class RobustToolProvider implements ToolProvider {
@Override
public List<ToolSpecification> listTools() {
return List.of(ToolSpecification.builder()
.name("secure_data_access")
.description("Access sensitive data with proper validation")
.inputSchema(Map.of(
"type", "object",
"properties", Map.of(
"data_type", Map.of(
"type", "string",
"description", "Type of data to access",
"enum", List.of("user_data", "system_data", "admin_data")
),
"user_id", Map.of(
"type", "string",
"description", "User ID requesting access"
)
),
"required", List.of("data_type", "user_id")
))
.build());
}
@Override
public String executeTool(String name, String arguments) {
if ("secure_data_access".equals(name)) {
try {
JsonObject args = JsonParser.parseString(arguments).getAsJsonObject();
String dataType = args.get("data_type").getAsString();
String userId = args.get("user_id").getAsString();
// Validate user permissions
if (!hasPermission(userId, dataType)) {
return "Access denied: Insufficient permissions";
}
// Get data securely
return getSecureData(dataType, userId);
} catch (JsonParseException e) {
return "Invalid JSON format: " + e.getMessage();
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Error accessing data: " + e.getMessage();
}
}
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Unknown tool: " + name);
}
private boolean hasPermission(String userId, String dataType) {
// Implement permission checking
if ("admin_data".equals(dataType)) {
return userRepository.isAdmin(userId);
}
return true;
}
private String getSecureData(String dataType, String userId) {
// Implement secure data retrieval
if ("user_data".equals(dataType)) {
return userDataService.getUserData(userId);
}
return "Data not available";
}
}
```
## Advanced Server Configuration
### Multi-Transport Server Configuration
Configure MCP server with multiple transport options:
```java
@Configuration
public class AdvancedMcpConfiguration {
@Bean
public MCPServer advancedMcpServer(
List<ToolProvider> toolProviders,
List<ResourceListProvider> resourceProviders,
List<PromptListProvider> promptProviders) {
return MCPServer.builder()
.server(new StdioServer.Builder())
.addToolProvider(toolProviders)
.addResourceProvider(resourceProviders)
.addPromptProvider(promptProviders)
.enableLogging(true)
.setLogHandler(new StructuredLogHandler())
.enableHealthChecks(true)
.setHealthCheckInterval(30) // seconds
.setMaxConcurrentRequests(100)
.setRequestTimeout(30) // seconds
.build();
}
@Bean
public HttpMcpTransport httpTransport() {
return new HttpMcpTransport.Builder()
.sseUrl("http://localhost:8080/mcp/sse")
.logRequests(true)
.logResponses(true)
.setCorsEnabled(true)
.setAllowedOrigins(List.of("http://localhost:3000"))
.build();
}
}
```
## Client Integration Patterns
### Multi-Client MCP Integration
Integrate with multiple MCP servers for comprehensive functionality:
```java
@Service
public class MultiMcpIntegrationService {
private final List<McpClient> mcpClients;
private final ChatModel chatModel;
private final McpToolProvider toolProvider;
public MultiMcpIntegrationService(List<McpClient> mcpClients, ChatModel chatModel) {
this.mcpClients = mcpClients;
this.chatModel = chatModel;
// Create tool provider with multiple MCP clients
this.toolProvider = McpToolProvider.builder()
.mcpClients(mcpClients)
.failIfOneServerFails(false) // Continue with available servers
.filter((client, tool) -> {
// Implement cross-server tool filtering
return !tool.name().startsWith("deprecated_");
})
.build();
}
public String processUserQuery(String userId, String query) {
// Create AI service with multiple MCP integrations
AIAssistant assistant = AiServices.builder(AIAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.toolProvider(toolProvider)
.chatMemoryProvider(memoryProvider)
.build();
return assistant.chat(userId, query);
}
public List<ToolSpecification> getAvailableTools() {
return mcpClients.stream()
.flatMap(client -> {
try {
return client.listTools().stream();
} catch (Exception e) {
log.warn("Failed to list tools from client {}: {}", client.key(), e.getMessage());
return Stream.empty();
}
})
.distinct()
.collect(Collectors.toList());
}
}
```

# LangChain4j RAG Implementation Patterns
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Building knowledge-based AI applications requiring external document access
- Implementing question-answering systems over large document collections
- Creating AI assistants with access to company knowledge bases
- Building semantic search capabilities for document repositories
- Implementing chat systems that reference specific information sources
- Creating AI applications requiring source attribution
- Building domain-specific AI systems with curated knowledge
- Implementing hybrid search combining vector similarity with traditional search
- Creating AI applications requiring real-time document updates
- Building multi-modal RAG systems with text, images, and other content types
## Overview
Implement complete Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems with LangChain4j. RAG enhances language models by providing relevant context from external knowledge sources, improving accuracy and reducing hallucinations.
## Instructions
### Initialize RAG Project
Create a new Spring Boot project with required dependencies:
**pom.xml**:
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>dev.langchain4j</groupId>
<artifactId>langchain4j-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>1.8.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>dev.langchain4j</groupId>
<artifactId>langchain4j-open-ai</artifactId>
<version>1.8.0</version>
</dependency>
```
### Setup Document Ingestion
Configure document loading and processing:
```java
@Configuration
public class RAGConfiguration {
@Bean
public EmbeddingModel embeddingModel() {
return OpenAiEmbeddingModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("text-embedding-3-small")
.build();
}
@Bean
public EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> embeddingStore() {
return new InMemoryEmbeddingStore<>();
}
}
```
Create document ingestion service:
```java
@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class DocumentIngestionService {
private final EmbeddingModel embeddingModel;
private final EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> embeddingStore;
public void ingestDocument(String filePath, Map<String, Object> metadata) {
Document document = FileSystemDocumentLoader.loadDocument(filePath);
document.metadata().putAll(metadata);
DocumentSplitter splitter = DocumentSplitters.recursive(
500, 50, new OpenAiTokenCountEstimator("text-embedding-3-small")
);
List<TextSegment> segments = splitter.split(document);
List<Embedding> embeddings = embeddingModel.embedAll(segments).content();
embeddingStore.addAll(embeddings, segments);
}
}
```
### Configure Content Retrieval
Setup content retrieval with filtering:
```java
@Configuration
public class ContentRetrieverConfiguration {
@Bean
public ContentRetriever contentRetriever(
EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> embeddingStore,
EmbeddingModel embeddingModel) {
return EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever.builder()
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.maxResults(5)
.minScore(0.7)
.build();
}
}
```
### Create RAG-Enabled AI Service
Define AI service with context retrieval:
```java
interface KnowledgeAssistant {
@SystemMessage("""
You are a knowledgeable assistant with access to a comprehensive knowledge base.
When answering questions:
1. Use the provided context from the knowledge base
2. If information is not in the context, clearly state this
3. Provide accurate, helpful responses
4. When possible, reference specific sources
5. If the context is insufficient, ask for clarification
""")
String answerQuestion(String question);
}
@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class KnowledgeService {
private final KnowledgeAssistant assistant;
public KnowledgeService(ChatModel chatModel, ContentRetriever contentRetriever) {
this.assistant = AiServices.builder(KnowledgeAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.contentRetriever(contentRetriever)
.build();
}
public String answerQuestion(String question) {
return assistant.answerQuestion(question);
}
}
```
## Examples
### Basic Document Processing
```java
public class BasicRAGExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var embeddingStore = new InMemoryEmbeddingStore<TextSegment>();
var embeddingModel = OpenAiEmbeddingModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("text-embedding-3-small")
.build();
var ingestor = EmbeddingStoreIngestor.builder()
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.build();
ingestor.ingest(Document.from("Spring Boot is a framework for building Java applications with minimal configuration."));
var retriever = EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever.builder()
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.build();
}
}
```
### Multi-Domain Assistant
```java
interface MultiDomainAssistant {
@SystemMessage("""
You are an expert assistant with access to multiple knowledge domains:
- Technical documentation
- Company policies
- Product information
- Customer support guides
Tailor your response based on the type of question and available context.
Always indicate which domain the information comes from.
""")
String answerQuestion(@MemoryId String userId, String question);
}
```
### Hierarchical RAG
```java
@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class HierarchicalRAGService {
private final EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> chunkStore;
private final EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> summaryStore;
private final EmbeddingModel embeddingModel;
public String performHierarchicalRetrieval(String query) {
List<EmbeddingMatch<TextSegment>> summaryMatches = searchSummaries(query);
List<TextSegment> relevantChunks = new ArrayList<>();
for (EmbeddingMatch<TextSegment> summaryMatch : summaryMatches) {
String documentId = summaryMatch.embedded().metadata().getString("documentId");
List<EmbeddingMatch<TextSegment>> chunkMatches = searchChunksInDocument(query, documentId);
chunkMatches.stream()
.map(EmbeddingMatch::embedded)
.forEach(relevantChunks::add);
}
return generateResponseWithChunks(query, relevantChunks);
}
}
```
## Best Practices
### Document Segmentation
- Use recursive splitting with 500-1000 token chunks for most applications
- Maintain 20-50 token overlap between chunks for context preservation
- Consider document structure (headings, paragraphs) when splitting
- Use token-aware splitters for optimal embedding generation
### Metadata Strategy
- Include rich metadata for filtering and attribution:
- User and tenant identifiers for multi-tenancy
- Document type and category classification
- Creation and modification timestamps
- Version and author information
- Confidentiality and access level tags
### Query Processing
- Implement query preprocessing and cleaning
- Consider query expansion for better recall
- Apply dynamic filtering based on user context
- Use re-ranking for improved result quality
### Performance Optimization
- Cache embeddings for repeated queries
- Use batch embedding generation for bulk operations
- Implement pagination for large result sets
- Consider asynchronous processing for long operations
## Common Patterns
### Simple RAG Pipeline
```java
@RequiredArgsConstructor
@Service
public class SimpleRAGPipeline {
private final EmbeddingModel embeddingModel;
private final EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> embeddingStore;
private final ChatModel chatModel;
public String answerQuestion(String question) {
Embedding queryEmbedding = embeddingModel.embed(question).content();
EmbeddingSearchRequest request = EmbeddingSearchRequest.builder()
.queryEmbedding(queryEmbedding)
.maxResults(3)
.build();
List<TextSegment> segments = embeddingStore.search(request).matches().stream()
.map(EmbeddingMatch::embedded)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
String context = segments.stream()
.map(TextSegment::text)
.collect(Collectors.joining("\n\n"));
return chatModel.generate(context + "\n\nQuestion: " + question + "\nAnswer:");
}
}
```
### Hybrid Search (Vector + Keyword)
```java
@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class HybridSearchService {
private final EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> vectorStore;
private final FullTextSearchEngine keywordEngine;
private final EmbeddingModel embeddingModel;
public List<Content> hybridSearch(String query, int maxResults) {
// Vector search
List<Content> vectorResults = performVectorSearch(query, maxResults);
// Keyword search
List<Content> keywordResults = performKeywordSearch(query, maxResults);
// Combine and re-rank using RRF algorithm
return combineResults(vectorResults, keywordResults, maxResults);
}
}
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**Poor Retrieval Results**
- Check document chunk size and overlap settings
- Verify embedding model compatibility
- Ensure metadata filters are not too restrictive
- Consider adding re-ranking step
**Slow Performance**
- Use cached embeddings for frequent queries
- Optimize database indexing for vector stores
- Implement pagination for large datasets
- Consider async processing for bulk operations
**High Memory Usage**
- Use disk-based embedding stores for large datasets
- Implement proper pagination and filtering
- Clean up unused embeddings periodically
- Monitor and optimize chunk sizes

public class PineconeRagExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Production vector store
var embeddingStore = PineconeEmbeddingStore.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("PINECONE_API_KEY"))
.index("docs-index")
.namespace("production")
.build();
var embeddingModel = OpenAiEmbeddingModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.build();
// Ingest with metadata
var ingestor = EmbeddingStoreIngestor.builder()
.documentTransformer(doc -> {
doc.metadata().put("source", "documentation");
doc.metadata().put("date", LocalDate.now().toString());
return doc;
})
.documentSplitter(DocumentSplitters.recursive(1000, 200))
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.build();
ingestor.ingest(Document.from("Your large document..."));
// Retrieve with filters
var retriever = EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever.builder()
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.maxResults(5)
.dynamicFilter(query ->
new IsEqualTo("source", "documentation")
)
.build();
}
}
```
## 3. Document Loading and Splitting
**Scenario**: Load documents from various sources and split intelligently.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.data.document.Document;
import dev.langchain4j.data.document.DocumentSplitter;
import dev.langchain4j.data.document.loader.FileSystemDocumentLoader;
import dev.langchain4j.data.document.splitter.DocumentSplitters;
import dev.langchain4j.data.segment.TextSegment;
import dev.langchain4j.model.openai.OpenAiTokenCountEstimator;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.util.List;
public class DocumentProcessingExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Load from filesystem
Path docPath = Paths.get("documents");
List<Document> documents = FileSystemDocumentLoader.load(docPath);
// Smart recursive splitting with token counting
DocumentSplitter splitter = DocumentSplitters.recursive(
500, // Max tokens per segment
50, // Overlap tokens
new OpenAiTokenCountEstimator("gpt-4o-mini")
);
// Process documents
for (Document doc : documents) {
List<TextSegment> segments = splitter.split(doc);
System.out.println("Document split into " + segments.size() + " segments");
segments.forEach(segment -> {
System.out.println("Text: " + segment.text());
System.out.println("Metadata: " + segment.metadata());
});
}
// Alternative: Character-based splitting
DocumentSplitter charSplitter = DocumentSplitters.recursive(
1000, // Max characters
100 // Overlap characters
);
// Alternative: Paragraph-based splitting
DocumentSplitter paraSplitter = DocumentSplitters.byParagraph(500, 50);
}
}
```
## 4. Metadata Filtering in RAG
**Scenario**: Search with complex metadata filters for multi-tenant RAG.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.store.embedding.filter.comparison.*;
import dev.langchain4j.rag.content.retriever.EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever;
public class MetadataFilteringExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var retriever = EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever.builder()
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
// Single filter: user isolation
.filter(new IsEqualTo("userId", "user123"))
// Complex AND filter
.filter(new And(
new IsEqualTo("department", "engineering"),
new IsEqualTo("status", "active")
))
// OR filter: multiple categories
.filter(new Or(
new IsEqualTo("category", "tutorial"),
new IsEqualTo("category", "guide")
))
// NOT filter: exclude deprecated
.filter(new Not(
new IsEqualTo("deprecated", "true")
))
// Numeric filters
.filter(new IsGreaterThan("relevance", 0.8))
.filter(new IsLessThanOrEqualTo("createdDaysAgo", 30))
// Multiple conditions
.dynamicFilter(query -> {
String userId = extractUserFromQuery(query);
return new And(
new IsEqualTo("userId", userId),
new IsGreaterThan("score", 0.7)
);
})
.build();
}
private static String extractUserFromQuery(Object query) {
// Extract user context
return "user123";
}
}
```
## 5. Document Transformation Pipeline
**Scenario**: Transform documents with custom metadata before ingestion.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.store.embedding.EmbeddingStoreIngestor;
import dev.langchain4j.data.document.Metadata;
import dev.langchain4j.data.segment.TextSegment;
import java.time.LocalDate;
public class DocumentTransformationExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var ingestor = EmbeddingStoreIngestor.builder()
// Add metadata to each document
.documentTransformer(doc -> {
doc.metadata().put("ingested_date", LocalDate.now().toString());
doc.metadata().put("source_system", "internal");
doc.metadata().put("version", "1.0");
return doc;
})
// Split documents intelligently
.documentSplitter(DocumentSplitters.recursive(500, 50))
// Transform each segment (e.g., add filename)
.textSegmentTransformer(segment -> {
String fileName = segment.metadata().getString("file_name", "unknown");
String enrichedText = "File: " + fileName + "\n" + segment.text();
return TextSegment.from(enrichedText, segment.metadata());
})
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.build();
// Ingest with tracking
IngestionResult result = ingestor.ingest(document);
System.out.println("Tokens ingested: " + result.tokenUsage().totalTokenCount());
}
}
```
## 6. Hybrid Search (Vector + Full-Text)
**Scenario**: Combine semantic search with keyword search for better recall.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.store.embedding.neo4j.Neo4jEmbeddingStore;
public class HybridSearchExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Configure Neo4j for hybrid search
var embeddingStore = Neo4jEmbeddingStore.builder()
.withBasicAuth("bolt://localhost:7687", "neo4j", "password")
.dimension(1536)
// Enable full-text search
.fullTextIndexName("documents_fulltext")
.autoCreateFullText(true)
// Query for full-text context
.fullTextQuery("Spring OR Boot")
.build();
var retriever = EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever.builder()
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.maxResults(5)
.build();
// Search combines both vector similarity and full-text keywords
}
}
```
## 7. Advanced RAG with Query Transformation
**Scenario**: Transform user queries before retrieval for better results.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.rag.DefaultRetrievalAugmentor;
import dev.langchain4j.rag.query.transformer.CompressingQueryTransformer;
import dev.langchain4j.rag.content.aggregator.ReRankingContentAggregator;
import dev.langchain4j.model.cohere.CohereScoringModel;
public class AdvancedRagExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Scoring model for re-ranking
var scoringModel = CohereScoringModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("COHERE_API_KEY"))
.build();
// Advanced retrieval augmentor
var augmentor = DefaultRetrievalAugmentor.builder()
// Transform query for better context
.queryTransformer(new CompressingQueryTransformer(chatModel))
// Retrieve relevant content
.contentRetriever(EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever.builder()
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.maxResults(10)
.minScore(0.6)
.build())
// Re-rank results by relevance
.contentAggregator(ReRankingContentAggregator.builder()
.scoringModel(scoringModel)
.minScore(0.8)
.build())
.build();
// Use with AI Service
var assistant = AiServices.builder(QuestionAnswering.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.retrievalAugmentor(augmentor)
.build();
}
}
```
## 8. Multi-User RAG with Isolation
**Scenario**: Per-user vector stores for data isolation.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.rag.content.retriever.EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class MultiUserRagExample {
private final Map<String, EmbeddingStore<TextSegment>> userStores = new HashMap<>();
public void ingestForUser(String userId, Document document) {
var store = userStores.computeIfAbsent(userId,
k -> new InMemoryEmbeddingStore<>());
var ingestor = EmbeddingStoreIngestor.builder()
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.embeddingStore(store)
.build();
ingestor.ingest(document);
}
public String askQuestion(String userId, String question) {
var store = userStores.get(userId);
var retriever = EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever.builder()
.embeddingStore(store)
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.maxResults(3)
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(QuestionAnswering.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.contentRetriever(retriever)
.build();
return assistant.answer(question);
}
}
```
## 9. Streaming RAG with Content Access
**Scenario**: Stream RAG responses while accessing retrieved content.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.service.TokenStream;
interface StreamingRagAssistant {
TokenStream streamAnswer(String question);
}
public class StreamingRagExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var assistant = AiServices.builder(StreamingRagAssistant.class)
.streamingChatModel(streamingModel)
.contentRetriever(contentRetriever)
.build();
assistant.streamAnswer("What is Spring Boot?")
.onRetrieved(contents -> {
System.out.println("=== Retrieved Content ===");
contents.forEach(content ->
System.out.println("Score: " + content.score() +
", Text: " + content.textSegment().text()));
})
.onNext(token -> System.out.print(token))
.onCompleteResponse(response ->
System.out.println("\n=== Complete ==="))
.onError(error -> System.err.println("Error: " + error))
.start();
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
}
}
```
## 10. Batch Document Ingestion
**Scenario**: Efficiently ingest large document collections.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.data.document.Document;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class BatchIngestionExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var ingestor = EmbeddingStoreIngestor.builder()
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.documentSplitter(DocumentSplitters.recursive(500, 50))
.build();
// Load batch of documents
List<Document> documents = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
documents.add(Document.from("Content " + i));
}
// Ingest all at once
IngestionResult result = ingestor.ingest(documents);
System.out.println("Documents ingested: " + documents.size());
System.out.println("Total tokens: " + result.tokenUsage().totalTokenCount());
// Track progress
long tokensPerDoc = result.tokenUsage().totalTokenCount() / documents.size();
System.out.println("Average tokens per document: " + tokensPerDoc);
}
}
```
## Performance Considerations
1. **Batch Processing**: Ingest documents in batches to optimize embedding API calls
2. **Document Splitting**: Use recursive splitting for better semantic chunks
3. **Metadata**: Add minimal metadata to reduce embedding overhead
4. **Vector DB**: Choose appropriate vector DB based on scale (in-memory for dev, Pinecone/Weaviate for prod)
5. **Similarity Threshold**: Adjust minScore based on use case (0.7-0.85 typical)
6. **Max Results**: Return top 3-5 results unless specific needs require more
7. **Caching**: Cache frequently retrieved content to reduce API calls
8. **Async Ingestion**: Use async ingestion for large datasets
9. **Monitoring**: Track token usage and retrieval quality metrics
10. **Testing**: Use in-memory store for unit tests, external DB for integration tests

## Metadata and Filtering
### Metadata Object
```java
// Create from map
Metadata meta = Metadata.from(Map.of(
"userId", "user123",
"category", "tutorial",
"score", 0.95
));
// Add entries
meta.put("status", "active");
meta.put("version", 2);
// Retrieve entries
String userId = meta.getString("userId");
int version = meta.getInt("version");
double score = meta.getDouble("score");
// Check existence
boolean has = meta.containsKey("userId");
// Remove entry
meta.remove("userId");
// Merge
Metadata other = Metadata.from(Map.of("source", "db"));
meta.merge(other);
```
### Filter Operations
```java
import dev.langchain4j.store.embedding.filter.comparison.*;
import dev.langchain4j.store.embedding.filter.logical.*;
// Equality
Filter filter = new IsEqualTo("status", "active");
Filter filter = new IsNotEqualTo("deprecated", "true");
// Comparison
Filter filter = new IsGreaterThan("score", 0.8);
Filter filter = new IsLessThanOrEqualTo("daysOld", 30);
Filter filter = new IsGreaterThanOrEqualTo("priority", 5);
Filter filter = new IsLessThan("errorRate", 0.01);
// Membership
Filter filter = new IsIn("category", Arrays.asList("tech", "guide"));
Filter filter = new IsNotIn("status", Arrays.asList("archived"));
// String operations
Filter filter = new ContainsString("content", "Spring");
// Logical operations
Filter filter = new And(
new IsEqualTo("userId", "123"),
new IsGreaterThan("score", 0.7)
);
Filter filter = new Or(
new IsEqualTo("type", "doc"),
new IsEqualTo("type", "guide")
);
Filter filter = new Not(new IsEqualTo("archived", "true"));
```
## TextSegment
### Creating TextSegments
```java
// Text only
TextSegment segment = TextSegment.from("This is the content");
// With metadata
Metadata metadata = Metadata.from(Map.of("source", "docs"));
TextSegment segment = TextSegment.from("Content", metadata);
// Accessing
String text = segment.text();
Metadata meta = segment.metadata();
```
## Best Practices
1. **Chunk Size**: Use 300-500 tokens per chunk for optimal balance
2. **Overlap**: Use 10-50 token overlap for semantic continuity
3. **Metadata**: Include source and timestamp for traceability
4. **Batch Processing**: Ingest documents in batches when possible
5. **Similarity Threshold**: Adjust minScore (0.7-0.85) based on precision/recall needs
6. **Vector DB Selection**: In-memory for dev/test, Pinecone/Qdrant for production
7. **Filtering**: Pre-filter by metadata to reduce search space
8. **Re-ranking**: Use scoring models for better relevance in production
9. **Monitoring**: Track retrieval quality metrics
10. **Testing**: Use small in-memory stores for unit tests
## Performance Tips
- Use recursive splitting for semantic coherence
- Enable batch processing for large datasets
- Use dynamic max results based on query complexity
- Cache embedding model for frequently accessed content
- Implement async ingestion for large document collections
- Monitor token usage for cost optimization
- Use appropriate vector DB indexes for scale

# LangChain4j Spring Boot Integration
To accomplish integration of LangChain4j with Spring Boot applications, follow this comprehensive guidance covering auto-configuration, declarative AI Services, chat models, embedding stores, and production-ready patterns for building AI-powered applications.
## When to Use
To accomplish integration of LangChain4j with Spring Boot when:
- Integrating LangChain4j into existing Spring Boot applications
- Building AI-powered microservices with Spring Boot
- Setting up auto-configuration for AI models and services
- Creating declarative AI Services with Spring dependency injection
- Configuring multiple AI providers (OpenAI, Azure, Ollama, etc.)
- Implementing RAG systems with Spring Boot
- Setting up observability and monitoring for AI components
- Building production-ready AI applications with Spring Boot
## Overview
LangChain4j Spring Boot integration provides declarative AI Services through Spring Boot starters, enabling automatic configuration of AI components based on properties. The integration combines the power of Spring dependency injection with LangChain4j's AI capabilities, allowing developers to create AI-powered applications using interface-based definitions with annotations.
## Core Concepts
To accomplish basic setup of LangChain4j with Spring Boot:
**Add Dependencies:**
```xml
<!-- Core LangChain4j -->
<dependency>
<groupId>dev.langchain4j</groupId>
<artifactId>langchain4j-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>1.8.0</version> // Use latest version
</dependency>
<!-- OpenAI Integration -->
<dependency>
<groupId>dev.langchain4j</groupId>
<artifactId>langchain4j-open-ai-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>1.8.0</version>
</dependency>
```
**Configure Properties:**
```properties
# application.properties
langchain4j.open-ai.chat-model.api-key=${OPENAI_API_KEY}
langchain4j.open-ai.chat-model.model-name=gpt-4o-mini
langchain4j.open-ai.chat-model.temperature=0.7
```
**Create Declarative AI Service:**
```java
@AiService
interface CustomerSupportAssistant {
@SystemMessage("You are a helpful customer support agent for TechCorp.")
String handleInquiry(String customerMessage);
}
```
## Configuration
To accomplish Spring Boot configuration for LangChain4j:
**Property-Based Configuration:** Configure AI models through application properties for different providers.
**Manual Bean Configuration:** For advanced configurations, define beans manually using @Configuration.
**Multiple Providers:** Support for multiple AI providers with explicit wiring when needed.
## Declarative AI Services
To accomplish interface-based AI service definitions:
**Basic AI Service:** Create interfaces with @AiService annotation and define methods with message templates.
**Streaming AI Service:** Implement streaming responses using Reactor or Project Reactor.
**Explicit Wiring:** Specify which model to use with @AiService(wiringMode = EXPLICIT, chatModel = "modelBeanName").
## RAG Implementation
To accomplish RAG system implementation:
**Embedding Stores:** Configure various embedding stores (PostgreSQL/pgvector, Neo4j, Pinecone, etc.).
**Document Ingestion:** Implement document processing and embedding generation.
**Content Retrieval:** Set up content retrieval mechanisms for knowledge augmentation.
## Tool Integration
To accomplish AI tool integration:
**Spring Component Tools:** Define tools as Spring components with @Tool annotations.
**Database Access Tools:** Create tools for database operations and business logic.
**Tool Registration:** Automatically register tools with AI services.
## Examples
To understand implementation patterns, refer to the comprehensive examples in [references/examples.md](references/examples.md).
## Best Practices
To accomplish production-ready AI applications:
- **Use Property-Based Configuration:** External configuration over hardcoded values
- **Implement Proper Error Handling:** Graceful degradation and meaningful error responses
- **Use Profiles for Different Environments:** Separate configurations for development, testing, and production
- **Implement Proper Logging:** Debug AI service calls and monitor performance
- **Secure API Keys:** Use environment variables and never commit to version control
- **Handle Failures:** Implement retry mechanisms and fallback strategies
- **Monitor Performance:** Add metrics and health checks for observability

```java
@Configuration
public class AiConfig {
@Bean
public ChatModel chatModel() {
return OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.temperature(0.7)
.build();
}
@Bean
public EmbeddingModel embeddingModel() {
return OpenAiEmbeddingModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("text-embedding-3-small")
.build();
}
@Bean
public DocumentAssistant documentAssistant(ChatModel chatModel) {
return AiServices.builder(DocumentAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.chatMemory(MessageWindowChatMemory.withMaxMessages(10))
.build();
}
}
interface DocumentAssistant {
String chat(String message);
}
```
## 3. REST API with AI Service
**Scenario**: Expose AI functionality via REST endpoints.
```java
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/chat")
public class ChatController {
private final ChatAssistant assistant;
@Autowired
public ChatController(ChatAssistant assistant) {
this.assistant = assistant;
}
@PostMapping
public ResponseEntity<ChatResponse> chat(@RequestBody ChatRequest request) {
try {
String response = assistant.chat(request.getMessage());
return ResponseEntity.ok(new ChatResponse(response));
} catch (Exception e) {
return ResponseEntity.internalServerError()
.body(new ChatResponse("Error: " + e.getMessage()));
}
}
@PostMapping("/stream")
public ResponseEntity<StreamingResponseBody> streamChat(@RequestBody ChatRequest request) {
return ResponseEntity.ok(outputStream -> {
var streamAssistant = streamingAssistant;
var stream = streamAssistant.streamChat(request.getMessage());
stream.onNext(token -> {
try {
outputStream.write(token.getBytes());
outputStream.flush();
} catch (IOException e) {
// Handle write error
}
}).start();
});
}
}
@Data
class ChatRequest {
private String message;
}
@Data
class ChatResponse {
private String response;
}
```
## 4. Service with RAG Integration
**Scenario**: Service layer with document search and retrieval.
```java

@Autowired
public KnowledgeBaseService(
DocumentAssistant assistant,
EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> embeddingStore,
EmbeddingModel embeddingModel) {
this.assistant = assistant;
this.embeddingStore = embeddingStore;
this.embeddingModel = embeddingModel;
}
public void ingestDocument(String content, Map<String, Object> metadata) {
var document = Document.from(content);
document.metadata().putAll(metadata);
var ingestor = EmbeddingStoreIngestor.builder()
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.documentSplitter(DocumentSplitters.recursive(500, 50))
.build();
ingestor.ingest(document);
}
public String answerQuestion(String question) {
return assistant.answerAbout(question);
}
}
interface DocumentAssistant {
String answerAbout(String question);
}
```
## 5. Scheduled Task for Document Updates
**Scenario**: Periodically update knowledge base.

class ErrorResponse {
private String message;
}
```
## 8. Configuration Properties
**Scenario**: Externalize AI configuration.
```java
@Configuration
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "app.ai")
@Data
public class AiProperties {
private String openaiApiKey;
private String openaiModel = "gpt-4o-mini";
private double temperature = 0.7;
private int maxTokens = 2000;
private String embeddingModel = "text-embedding-3-small";
private int memorySize = 10;
private String vectorStoreType = "in-memory";
}
// application.yml
app:
ai:
openai-api-key: ${OPENAI_API_KEY}
openai-model: gpt-4o-mini
temperature: 0.7
max-tokens: 2000
embedding-model: text-embedding-3-small
memory-size: 10
vector-store-type: pinecone
```
## 9. Integration Testing
**Scenario**: Test AI services with Spring Boot Test.
```java
@SpringBootTest
class ChatServiceTest {
@MockBean
private ChatModel chatModel;
@Autowired
private ChatService chatService;
@Test
void testChat() {
when(chatModel.chat("Hello"))
.thenReturn("Hi there!");

try {
String response = chatModel.chat(message);
return CompletableFuture.completedFuture(response);
} catch (Exception e) {
return CompletableFuture.failedFuture(e);
}
}
}
// Usage in controller
@RestController
public class AsyncController {
@Autowired
private AsyncChatService asyncChatService;
@PostMapping("/chat/async")
public CompletableFuture<ResponseEntity<String>> chatAsync(@RequestBody ChatRequest request) {
return asyncChatService.chatAsync(request.getMessage())
.thenApply(ResponseEntity::ok)
.exceptionally(e -> ResponseEntity.internalServerError().build());
}
}
```

# LangChain4J Testing Strategies
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Building AI-powered applications with LangChain4J
- Writing unit tests for AI services and guardrails
- Setting up integration tests with real LLM models
- Creating mock-based tests for faster test execution
- Using Testcontainers for isolated testing environments
- Testing RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems
- Validating tool execution and function calling
- Testing streaming responses and async operations
- Setting up end-to-end tests for AI workflows
- Implementing performance and load testing
## Instructions
To test LangChain4J applications effectively, follow these key strategies:
### 1. Start with Unit Testing
Use mock models for fast, isolated testing of business logic. See `references/unit-testing.md` for detailed examples.
```java
// Example: Mock ChatModel for unit tests
ChatModel mockModel = mock(ChatModel.class);
when(mockModel.generate(any(String.class)))
.thenReturn(Response.from(AiMessage.from("Mocked response")));
var service = AiServices.builder(AiService.class)
.chatModel(mockModel)
.build();
```
### 2. Configure Testing Dependencies
Setup proper Maven/Gradle dependencies for testing. See `references/testing-dependencies.md` for complete configuration.
**Key dependencies**:
- `langchain4j-test` - Testing utilities and guardrail assertions
- `testcontainers` - Integration testing with containerized services
- `mockito` - Mock external dependencies
- `assertj` - Better assertions
### 3. Implement Integration Tests
Test with real services using Testcontainers. See `references/integration-testing.md` for container setup examples.
```java
@Testcontainers
class OllamaIntegrationTest {
@Container
static GenericContainer<?> ollama = new GenericContainer<>(
DockerImageName.parse("ollama/ollama:latest")
).withExposedPorts(11434);
@Test
void shouldGenerateResponse() {
ChatModel model = OllamaChatModel.builder()
.baseUrl(ollama.getEndpoint())
.build();
String response = model.generate("Test query");
assertNotNull(response);
}
}
```
### 4. Test Advanced Features
For streaming responses, memory management, and complex workflows, refer to `references/advanced-testing.md`.
### 5. Apply Testing Workflows
Follow testing pyramid patterns and best practices from `references/workflow-patterns.md`.
- **70% Unit Tests**: Fast, isolated business logic testing
- **20% Integration Tests**: Real service interactions
- **10% End-to-End Tests**: Complete user workflows
## Examples
### Basic Unit Test
```java
@Test
void shouldProcessQueryWithMock() {
ChatModel mockModel = mock(ChatModel.class);
when(mockModel.generate(any(String.class)))
.thenReturn(Response.from(AiMessage.from("Test response")));
var service = AiServices.builder(AiService.class)
.chatModel(mockModel)
.build();
String result = service.chat("What is Java?");
assertEquals("Test response", result);
}
```
### Integration Test with Testcontainers
```java
@Testcontainers
class RAGIntegrationTest {
@Container
static GenericContainer<?> ollama = new GenericContainer<>(
DockerImageName.parse("ollama/ollama:latest")
);
@Test
void shouldCompleteRAGWorkflow() {
// Setup models and stores
var chatModel = OllamaChatModel.builder()
.baseUrl(ollama.getEndpoint())
.build();
var embeddingModel = OllamaEmbeddingModel.builder()
.baseUrl(ollama.getEndpoint())
.build();
var store = new InMemoryEmbeddingStore<>();
var retriever = EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever.builder()
.chatModel(chatModel)
.embeddingStore(store)
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.build();
// Test complete workflow
var assistant = AiServices.builder(RagAssistant.class)
.chatLanguageModel(chatModel)
.contentRetriever(retriever)
.build();
String response = assistant.chat("What is Spring Boot?");
assertNotNull(response);
assertTrue(response.contains("Spring"));
}
}
```
## Best Practices
### Test Isolation
- Each test must be independent
- Use `@BeforeEach` and `@AfterEach` for setup/teardown
- Avoid sharing state between tests
### Mock External Dependencies
- Never call real APIs in unit tests
- Use mocks for ChatModel, EmbeddingModel, and external services
- Test error handling scenarios
### Performance Considerations
- Unit tests should run in < 50ms
- Integration tests should use container reuse
- Include timeout assertions for slow operations
### Quality Assertions
- Test both success and error scenarios
- Validate response coherence and relevance
- Include edge case testing (empty inputs, large payloads)
## Reference Documentation
For comprehensive testing guides and API references, see the included reference documents:
- **[Testing Dependencies](references/testing-dependencies.md)** - Maven/Gradle configuration and setup
- **[Unit Testing](references/unit-testing.md)** - Mock models, guardrails, and individual components
- **[Integration Testing](references/integration-testing.md)** - Testcontainers and real service testing
- **[Advanced Testing](references/advanced-testing.md)** - Streaming, memory, and error handling
- **[Workflow Patterns](references/workflow-patterns.md)** - Test pyramid and best practices
## Common Patterns
### Mock Strategy
```java
// For fast unit tests
ChatModel mockModel = mock(ChatModel.class);
when(mockModel.generate(anyString())).thenReturn(Response.from(AiMessage.from("Mocked")));
// For specific responses
when(mockModel.generate(eq("Hello"))).thenReturn(Response.from(AiMessage.from("Hi")));
when(mockModel.generate(contains("Java"))).thenReturn(Response.from(AiMessage.from("Java response")));
```
### Test Configuration
```java
// Use test-specific profiles
@TestPropertySource(properties = {
"langchain4j.ollama.base-url=http://localhost:11434"
})
class TestConfig {
// Test with isolated configuration
}
```
### Assertion Helpers
```java
// Custom assertions for AI responses
assertThat(response).isNotNull().isNotEmpty();
assertThat(response).containsAll(expectedKeywords);
assertThat(response).doesNotContain("error");
```
## Performance Requirements
- **Unit Tests**: < 50ms per test
- **Integration Tests**: Use container reuse for faster startup
- **Timeout Tests**: Include `@Timeout` for external service calls
- **Memory Management**: Test conversation window limits and cleanup
## Security Considerations
- Never use real API keys in tests
- Mock external API calls completely
- Test prompt injection detection
- Validate output sanitization
## Testing Pyramid Implementation

# Advanced Testing Patterns
## Testing Streaming Responses
### Streaming Response Test
```java
import dev.langchain4j.model.chat.StreamingChatModel;
import dev.langchain4j.model.chat.response.ChatResponse;
import dev.langchain4j.model.chat.response.StreamingChatResponseHandler;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import reactor.core.publisher.Flux;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture;
class StreamingResponseTest {
@Test
void shouldHandleStreamingResponse() throws Exception {
// Arrange
StreamingChatModel streamingModel = OllamaStreamingChatModel.builder()
.baseUrl("http://localhost:11434")
.modelName("llama2")
.build();
List<String> chunks = new ArrayList<>();
CompletableFuture<ChatResponse> responseFuture = new CompletableFuture<>();
StreamingChatResponseHandler handler = new StreamingChatResponseHandler() {
@Override
public void onPartialResponse(String partialResponse) {
chunks.add(partialResponse);
}
@Override
public void onComplete(ChatResponse completeResponse) {
responseFuture.complete(completeResponse);
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable error) {
responseFuture.completeExceptionally(error);
}
};
// Act
streamingModel.generate("Count to 5", handler);
ChatResponse response = responseFuture.get(30, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.SECONDS);
// Assert
assertNotNull(response);
assertFalse(chunks.isEmpty());
assertTrue(response.content().text().length() > 0);
}
}
```
### Mock Streaming Test
```java
@Test
void shouldMockStreamingResponse() {
// Arrange
StreamingChatModel mockModel = mock(StreamingChatModel.class);
List<String> chunks = new ArrayList<>();
doAnswer(invocation -> {
StreamingChatResponseHandler handler = invocation.getArgument(1);
handler.onPartialResponse("Hello ");
handler.onPartialResponse("World");
handler.onComplete(Response.from(AiMessage.from("Hello World")));
return null;
}).when(mockModel)
.generate(anyString(), any(StreamingChatResponseHandler.class));
// Act
mockModel.generate("Test", new StreamingChatResponseHandler() {
@Override
public void onPartialResponse(String partialResponse) {
chunks.add(partialResponse);
}
@Override
public void onComplete(ChatResponse response) {}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable error) {}
});
// Assert
assertEquals(2, chunks.size());
assertEquals("Hello World", String.join("", chunks));
}
```
## Memory Management Testing
### Chat Memory Testing
```java
import dev.langchain4j.memory.chat.MessageWindowChatMemory;
class MemoryTest {
@Test
void testChatMemory() {
// Arrange
var memory = MessageWindowChatMemory.withMaxMessages(3);
memory.add(UserMessage.from("Message 1"));
memory.add(AiMessage.from("Response 1"));
memory.add(UserMessage.from("Message 2"));
memory.add(AiMessage.from("Response 2"));
// Assert
List<ChatMessage> messages = memory.messages();
assertEquals(4, messages.size());
// Add more to test window
memory.add(UserMessage.from("Message 3"));
assertEquals(4, memory.messages().size()); // Window size limit
}
@Test
void testMultiUserMemory() {
var memoryProvider =
memoryId -> MessageWindowChatMemory.withMaxMessages(10);
var memory1 = memoryProvider.provide("user1");
var memory2 = memoryProvider.provide("user2");
memory1.add(UserMessage.from("User 1 message"));
memory2.add(UserMessage.from("User 2 message"));
assertEquals(1, memory1.messages().size());
assertEquals(1, memory2.messages().size());
}
}
```
### Memory Persistence Test
```java
@Test
void testMemorySerialization() throws Exception {
var memory = MessageWindowChatMemory.withMaxMessages(5);
memory.add(UserMessage.from("Test message"));
// Serialize
var bytes = serializeMemory(memory);
// Deserialize
var deserializedMemory = deserializeMemory(bytes);
// Verify
assertEquals(memory.messages().size(), deserializedMemory.messages().size());
}
private byte[] serializeMemory(MessageWindowChatMemory memory) {
// Implement serialization logic
return new byte[0];
}
private MessageWindowChatMemory deserializeMemory(byte[] bytes) {
// Implement deserialization logic
return MessageWindowChatMemory.withMaxMessages(5);
}
```
## Error Handling Tests
### Service Unavailable Test
```java
@Test
void shouldHandleServiceUnavailable() {
// Arrange
ChatModel mockModel = mock(ChatModel.class);
when(mockModel.generate(any()))
.thenThrow(new RuntimeException("Service unavailable"));
var service = AiServices.builder(AiService.class)
.chatModel(mockModel)
.toolExecutionErrorHandler((request, exception) ->
"Service unavailable: " + exception.getMessage()
)
.build();
// Act
String response = service.chat("test");
// Assert
assertTrue(response.contains("Service unavailable"));
}
```
### Rate Limiting Test
```java
@Test
void shouldHandleRateLimiting() {
// Arrange
ChatModel mockModel = mock(ChatModel.class);
// Simulate rate limiting
when(mockModel.generate(any()))
.thenThrow(new RuntimeException("Rate limit exceeded"));
var service = new AiService(mockModel);
// Act & Assert
assertThrows(RuntimeException.class, () -> service.chat("test"));
}
```
## Load Testing
### Concurrent Request Test
```java
@Test
void shouldHandleConcurrentRequests() throws InterruptedException {
// Arrange
ChatModel mockModel = mock(ChatModel.class);
when(mockModel.generate(any()))
.thenReturn(Response.from(AiMessage.from("Response")));
var service = AiServices.builder(AiService.class)
.chatModel(mockModel)
.build();
int threadCount = 10;
ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(threadCount);
List<Future<String>> futures = new ArrayList<>();
// Act
for (int i = 0; i < threadCount; i++) {
futures.add(executor.submit(() -> service.chat("test")));
}
// Assert
for (Future<String> future : futures) {
assertNotNull(future.get());
assertEquals("Response", future.get());
}
executor.shutdown();
}
```
### Long-running Test
```java
@Test
void shouldHandleLongRunningRequests() {
// Arrange
ChatModel model = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o")
.timeout(Duration.ofMinutes(2))
.build();
// Act
Instant start = Instant.now();
String response = model.chat("Explain quantum computing in detail");
Duration duration = Duration.between(start, Instant.now());
// Assert
assertTrue(duration.toMinutes() < 1, "Should complete in less than 1 minute");
assertNotNull(response);
assertTrue(response.length() > 100);
}
```
## Custom Assertion Helpers
```java
class AIAssertions {
static void assertResponseContains(String response, String... keywords) {
for (String keyword : keywords) {
assertTrue(
response.toLowerCase().contains(keyword.toLowerCase()),
"Response does not contain: " + keyword
);
}
}
static void assertValidJSON(String response) {
try {
new JsonParser().parse(response);
} catch (Exception e) {
fail("Response is not valid JSON: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
static void assertNonEmpty(String response) {
assertNotNull(response);
assertFalse(response.trim().isEmpty());
}
static void assertCoherentResponse(String response, String query) {
assertNotNull(response);
assertFalse(response.trim().isEmpty());
assertFalse(response.contains("error"));
// Additional coherence checks based on domain
}
}
// Usage
@Test
void testResponseQuality() {
String response = assistant.chat("Explain microservices");
AIAssertions.assertNonEmpty(response);
AIAssertions.assertResponseContains(response, "microservices", "architecture");
AIAssertions.assertCoherentResponse(response, "Explain microservices");
}
```
## Test Fixtures and Utilities
### Test Data Fixtures
```java
class AiTestFixtures {
public static ChatModel createMockChatModel(
Map<String, String> responses) {
var mock = mock(ChatModel.class);
responses.forEach((input, output) ->
when(mock.chat(contains(input))).thenReturn(output)
);
return mock;
}
public static EmbeddingModel createMockEmbeddingModel(String text) {
var mock = mock(EmbeddingModel.class);
var embedding = new Response<>(
new Embedding(new float[]{0.1f, 0.2f, 0.3f}), null
);
when(mock.embed(text)).thenReturn(embedding);
return mock;
}
public static Document createTestDocument(String content) {
var doc = Document.from(content);
doc.metadata().put("source", "test");
doc.metadata().put("created", Instant.now().toString());
return doc;
}
public static UserMessage createTestMessage(String content) {
return UserMessage.from(content);
}
public static AiService createTestService(ChatModel model) {
return AiServices.builder(AiService.class)
.chatModel(model)
.build();
}
}
// Usage in tests
@Test
void testWithFixtures() {
var chatModel = AiTestFixtures.createMockChatModel(
Map.of("Hello", "Hi!", "Bye", "Goodbye!")
);
var service = AiTestFixtures.createTestService(chatModel);
assertEquals("Hi!", service.chat("Hello"));
}
```
### Test Context Management
```java
class TestContext {
private static final ThreadLocal<ChatModel> currentModel =
new ThreadLocal<>();
private static final ThreadLocal<EmbeddingStore> currentStore =
new ThreadLocal<>();
public static void setModel(ChatModel model) {
currentModel.set(model);
}
public static ChatModel getModel() {
return currentModel.get();
}
public static void setStore(EmbeddingStore store) {
currentStore.set(store);
}
public static EmbeddingStore getStore() {
return currentStore.get();
}
public static void clear() {
currentModel.remove();
currentStore.remove();
}
}

# Workflow Patterns and Best Practices
## Test Pyramid Strategy
### Unit Tests (70%)
```java
// Fast, isolated tests focusing on business logic
@Test
void shouldValidateUserInput() {
InputGuardrail guardrail = new InputGuardrail();
UserMessage message = UserMessage.from("Legitimate query");
GuardrailResult result = guardrail.validate(message);
assertThat(result).isSuccessful();
}
@Test
void shouldDetectInvalidInput() {
InputGuardrail guardrail = new InputGuardrail();
UserMessage message = UserMessage.from(""); // Empty input
GuardrailResult result = guardrail.validate(message);
assertThat(result).hasFailures();
}
```
### Integration Tests (20%)
```java
@Testcontainers
class AiServiceIntegrationTest {
@Container
static OllamaContainer ollama = new OllamaContainer("ollama/ollama:latest");
@Test
void shouldProcessEndToEndRequest() {
ChatModel model = OllamaChatModel.builder()
.baseUrl(ollama.getEndpoint())
.modelName("llama2")
.timeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10))
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(Assistant.class)
.chatModel(model)
.build();
String response = assistant.chat("Test query");
assertNotNull(response);
assertFalse(response.trim().isEmpty());
}
}
```
### End-to-End Tests (10%)
```java
@Test
@DisplayName("Complete AI workflow test")
void shouldCompleteFullWorkflow() {
// Test complete user journey
// Includes all components, real models, and external services
// Arrange
var userQuery = "What is the weather today?";
var service = new CompleteAIService();
// Act
var result = service.processCompleteQuery(userQuery);
// Assert
assertNotNull(result);
assertTrue(result.isSuccess());
assertNotNull(result.getAnswer());
// Verify all components were used
verify(weatherService, atLeastOnce()).getWeather();
verify(guardrail, atLeastOnce()).validate(any());
}
```
## Mock vs Real Model Strategy
### When to Use Mock Models
```java
// Fast unit tests (< 50ms)
@Test
void shouldProcessSimpleQueryFast() {
ChatModel mockModel = mock(ChatModel.class);
when(mockModel.generate(anyString()))
.thenReturn(Response.from(AiMessage.from("Mocked response")));
var service = AiServices.builder(AiService.class)
.chatModel(mockModel)
.build();
String response = service.chat("What is Java?");
// Fast assertions
assertEquals("Mocked response", response);
}
// Business logic validation
@Test
void shouldApplyBusinessRules() {
var guardrail = new BusinessRuleGuardrail();
String result = guardrail.validateBusinessLogic("Test input");
assertBusinessRulesApplied(result);
}
// Edge case testing
@Test
void shouldHandleEdgeCases() {
var service = createTestService();
// Test edge cases
String emptyResponse = service.chat("");
String longResponse = service.chat("a".repeat(10000));
verifyEdgeCaseHandling(emptyResponse, longResponse);
}
```
### When to Use Real Models
```java
// Integration tests with real model
@Testcontainers
void shouldIntegrateWithRealModel() {
@Container
OllamaContainer ollama = new OllamaContainer();
ChatModel model = OllamaChatModel.builder()
.baseUrl(ollama.getEndpoint())
.modelName("llama2")
.build();
// Test with real model behavior
String response = model.generate("What is Java?");
// Verify model-specific behavior
assertTrue(response.toLowerCase().contains("programming"));
assertTrue(response.toLowerCase().contains("java"));
}
// Model-specific behavior validation
@Test
void shouldValidateModelSpecificBehavior() {
var model = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(testApiKey)
.modelName("gpt-4")
.build();
// Test model-specific patterns
String response = model.generate("List 3 numbers");
// Verify specific model behavior
assertTrue(response.matches(".*\\d+.*")); // Contains numbers
}
// Performance benchmarking
@Test
@Timeout(10)
void shouldBenchmarkPerformance() {
var model = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(testApiKey)
.modelName("gpt-3.5-turbo")
.build();
Instant start = Instant.now();
String response = model.generate("Complex query");
Duration duration = Duration.between(start, Instant.now());
// Performance assertions
assertTrue(duration.toSeconds() < 5);
assertTrue(response.length() > 100);
}
```
## Test Data Management
### Test Fixtures
```java
class TestDataFixtures {
public static final String SAMPLE_QUERY = "What is Java?";
public static final String SAMPLE_RESPONSE = "Java is a programming language...";
public static final Document DOCUMENT_1 = Document.from(
"Spring Boot is a Java framework for building microservices"
);
public static final Document DOCUMENT_2 = Document.from(
"Maven is a build automation tool for Java projects"
);
public static UserMessage createTestMessage(String content) {
return UserMessage.from(content);
}
public static AiMessage createAiMessage(String content) {
return AiMessage.from(content);
}
public static List<Document> createSampleDocuments() {
return List.of(DOCUMENT_1, DOCUMENT_2);
}
public static Embedding createTestEmbedding() {
float[] vector = new float[1536];
Arrays.fill(vector, 0.1f);
return new Embedding(vector);
}
}
// Usage
class MyTest {
@Test
void useTestDataFixtures() {
var message = TestDataFixtures.createTestMessage("Hello");
var documents = TestDataFixtures.createSampleDocuments();
// Test with fixtures
var service = new AIService();
var response = service.process(message, documents);
// Verify
assertNotNull(response);
}
}
```
### Configuration Management
```java
@TestPropertySource(properties = {
"langchain4j.openai.api-key=test-key",
"langchain4j.ollama.base-url=http://localhost:11434",
"app.test.mode=true"
})
class ConfigurationTest {
@Autowired
private TestConfig config;
@Test
void shouldUseTestConfiguration() {
// Uses application-test.properties
// Ensures test isolation
assertEquals("test-key", config.getOpenaiApiKey());
assertEquals("http://localhost:11434", config.getOllamaBaseUrl());
}
}
// Configuration class
@Configuration
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "langchain4j")
class TestConfig {
private String openaiApiKey;
private String ollamaBaseUrl;
// Getters and setters
public String getOpenaiApiKey() { return openaiApiKey; }
public void setOpenaiApiKey(String key) { this.openaiApiKey = key; }
public String getOllamaBaseUrl() { return ollamaBaseUrl; }
public void setOllamaBaseUrl(String url) { this.ollamaBaseUrl = url; }
}
```
### Test Data Cleanup
```java
class DataCleanupTest {
@BeforeEach
void setupTestData() {
// Setup test data
prepareTestDatabase();
}
@AfterEach
void cleanupTestData() {
// Clean up test data
cleanupDatabase();
}
@Test
void shouldMaintainDataIsolation() {
// Act
createTestData();
// Assert
assertTestDataExists();
}
private void prepareTestDatabase() {
// Setup test database schema and initial data
}
private void cleanupDatabase() {
// Clean up test data
}
private void createTestData() {
// Create test data for specific test
}
private void assertTestDataExists() {
// Verify test data
}
}
```
## Test Organization Patterns
### Package Structure

```
### Test Naming Conventions
```java
// Unit tests
@Test
void shouldProcessSimpleQuery() { }
@Test
void shouldValidateInputFormat() { }
@Test
void shouldHandleEmptyInput() { }
// Integration tests
@Testcontainers
@DisplayName("Ollama Integration")
class OllamaIntegrationTest {
@Test
void shouldGenerateResponse() { }
@Test
void shouldHandleLargeQueries() { }
}
// Edge case tests
@Test
@DisplayName("Edge Cases")
class EdgeCaseTest {
@Test
void shouldHandleVeryLongInput() { }
@Test
void shouldHandleSpecialCharacters() { }
@Test
void shouldHandleNullInput() { }
}
// Performance tests
@Test
@DisplayName("Performance")
class PerformanceTest {
@Test
@Timeout(5)
void shouldRespondWithinTimeLimit() { }
@Test
void shouldMeasureTokenUsage() { }
}
```
### Test Grouping
```java
@Tag("unit")
@Tag("service")
class UnitTestGroup { }
@Tag("integration")
@Tag("ollama")
class IntegrationTestGroup { }
@Tag("performance")
@Tag("e2e")
class PerformanceTestGroup { }
// Running specific test groups
mvn test -Dgroups="unit,service" // Run unit service tests
mvn test -Dgroups="integration" // Run all integration tests
mvn test -Dgroups="performance" // Run performance tests
```
## Assertion Best Practices
### Clear Assertions
```java
// Good
assertEquals(5, result, "Addition should return 5");
// Better with AssertJ
assertThat(result)
.as("Sum of 2+3")
.isEqualTo(5);
// Even better - domain-specific
assertThat(result)
.as("Calculation result")
.isCorrectAnswer(5); // Custom assertion
```
### Multiple Assertions
```java
// Use assertAll for better error messages
assertAll(
() -> assertNotNull(response),
() -> assertTrue(response.contains("data")),
() -> assertTrue(response.length() > 0)
);
// With AssertJ
assertThat(response)
.isNotNull()
.contains("data")
.hasSizeGreaterThan(0);
```
### Assertion Helpers
```java
class AiTestAssertions {
static void assertValidResponse(String response) {
assertThat(response)
.isNotNull()
.isNotEmpty()
.doesNotContain("error");
}
static void assertResponseContainsKeywords(String response, String... keywords) {
assertThat(response).containsAll(List.of(keywords));
}
static void assertResponseFormat(String response, ResponseFormat expectedFormat) {
assertThat(response).matches(expectedFormat.getPattern());
}
static void assertResponseQuality(String response, String query) {
assertThat(response)
.isNotNull()
.hasLengthGreaterThan(10)
.doesNotContain("error")
.containsAnyOf(query.split(" "));
}
}
// Usage
@Test
void testResponseQuality() {
String response = assistant.chat("What is AI?");
AiTestAssertions.assertResponseQuality(response, "What is AI?");
}
```
## Test Isolation Techniques
### Mock Spy for Partial Mocking
```java
@Test
void testSpyPartialMocking() {
Calculator real = new Calculator();
Calculator spy = spy(real);
// Mock specific method
doReturn(10).when(spy).add(5, 5);
// Real implementation for other methods
int sum = spy.add(3, 4); // Returns 7 (real implementation)
int special = spy.add(5, 5); // Returns 10 (mocked)
}
```
### Test Double Setup
```java
class TestDoubleSetup {
private ChatModel mockModel;
private EmbeddingStore mockStore;
private AiService service;
@BeforeEach
void setupTestDoubles() {
// Setup mocks
mockModel = mock(ChatModel.class);
mockStore = mock(EmbeddingStore.class);
// Setup behavior
when(mockModel.generate(anyString()))
.thenReturn(Response.from(AiMessage.from("Test response")));
// Create service
service = AiServices.builder(AiService.class)
.chatModel(mockModel)
.build();
}
@AfterEach
void verifyInteractions() {
// Verify key interactions
verify(mockModel, atLeastOnce()).generate(anyString());
verifyNoMoreInteractions(mockModel);
}
}
```
### Resetting Mocks
```java
class MockResetTest {
private ChatModel mockModel;
@BeforeEach
void setup() {
mockModel = mock(ChatModel.class);
// Setup initial behavior
when(mockModel.generate("hello")).thenReturn("Hi");
}
@AfterEach
void cleanup() {
reset(mockModel); // Clear all stubbing
}
@Test
void firstTest() {
// Use mock
}
@Test
void secondTest() {
// Fresh mock state due to reset
when(mockModel.generate("hello")).thenReturn("Hello");
}
}
```

# LangChain4j Tool & Function Calling Patterns
Define tools and enable AI agents to interact with external systems, APIs, and services using LangChain4j's annotation-based and programmatic tool system.
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Building AI applications that need to interact with external APIs and services
- Creating AI assistants that can perform actions beyond text generation
- Implementing AI systems that need access to real-time data (weather, stocks, etc.)
- Building multi-agent systems where agents can use specialized tools
- Creating AI applications with database read/write capabilities
- Implementing AI systems that need to integrate with existing business systems
- Building context-aware AI applications where tool availability depends on user state
- Developing production AI applications that require robust error handling and monitoring
## Setup and Configuration
### Basic Tool Registration
```java
// Define tools using @Tool annotation
public class CalculatorTools {
@Tool("Add two numbers")
public double add(double a, double b) {
return a + b;
}
}
// Register with AiServices builder
interface MathAssistant {
String ask(String question);
}
MathAssistant assistant = AiServices.builder(MathAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.tools(new CalculatorTools())
.build();
```
### Builder Configuration Options
```java
AiServices.builder(AssistantInterface.class)
// Static tool registration
.tools(new Calculator(), new WeatherService())
// Dynamic tool provider
.toolProvider(new DynamicToolProvider())
// Concurrent execution
.executeToolsConcurrently()
// Error handling
.toolExecutionErrorHandler((request, exception) -> {
return "Error: " + exception.getMessage();
})
// Memory for context
.chatMemoryProvider(userId -> MessageWindowChatMemory.withMaxMessages(20))
.build();
```
## Core Patterns
### Basic Tool Definition
Use `@Tool` annotation to define methods as executable tools:
```java
public class BasicTools {
@Tool("Add two numbers")
public int add(@P("first number") int a, @P("second number") int b) {
return a + b;
}
@Tool("Get greeting")
public String greet(@P("name to greet") String name) {
return "Hello, " + name + "!";
}
}
```
### Parameter Descriptions and Validation
Provide clear parameter descriptions using `@P` annotation:
```java
public class WeatherService {
@Tool("Get current weather conditions")
public String getCurrentWeather(
@P("City name or coordinates") String location,
@P("Temperature unit (celsius, fahrenheit)", required = false) String unit) {
// Implementation with validation
if (location == null || location.trim().isEmpty()) {
return "Location is required";
}
return weatherClient.getCurrentWeather(location, unit);
}
}
```
### Complex Parameter Types
Use Java records and descriptions for complex objects:
```java
public class OrderService {
@Description("Customer order information")
public record OrderRequest(
@Description("Customer ID") String customerId,
@Description("List of items") List<OrderItem> items,
@JsonProperty(required = false) @Description("Delivery instructions") String instructions
) {}
@Tool("Create customer order")
public String createOrder(OrderRequest order) {
return orderService.processOrder(order);
}
}
```
## Advanced Features
### Memory Context Integration
Access user context using `@ToolMemoryId`:
```java
public class PersonalizedTools {
@Tool("Get user preferences")
public String getPreferences(
@ToolMemoryId String userId,
@P("Preference category") String category) {
return preferenceService.getPreferences(userId, category);
}
}
```
### Dynamic Tool Provisioning
Create tools that change based on context:
```java
public class ContextAwareToolProvider implements ToolProvider {
@Override
public ToolProviderResult provideTools(ToolProviderRequest request) {
String message = request.userMessage().singleText().toLowerCase();
var builder = ToolProviderResult.builder();
if (message.contains("weather")) {
builder.add(weatherToolSpec, weatherExecutor);
}
if (message.contains("calculate")) {
builder.add(calcToolSpec, calcExecutor);
}
return builder.build();
}
}
```
### Immediate Return Tools
Return results immediately without full AI response:
```java
public class QuickTools {
@Tool(value = "Get current time", returnBehavior = ReturnBehavior.IMMEDIATE)
public String getCurrentTime() {
return LocalDateTime.now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ISO_LOCAL_DATE_TIME);
}
}
```
## Error Handling
### Tool Error Handling
Handle tool execution errors gracefully:
```java
AiServices.builder(Assistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.tools(new ExternalServiceTools())
.toolExecutionErrorHandler((request, exception) -> {
if (exception instanceof ApiException) {
return "Service temporarily unavailable: " + exception.getMessage();
}
return "An error occurred while processing your request";
})
.build();
```
### Resilience Patterns
Implement circuit breakers and retries:
```java
public class ResilientService {
private final CircuitBreaker circuitBreaker = CircuitBreaker.ofDefaults("external-api");
@Tool("Get external data")
public String getExternalData(@P("Data identifier") String id) {
return circuitBreaker.executeSupplier(() -> {
return externalApi.getData(id);
});
}
}
```
## Integration Examples
### Multi-Domain Tool Service
```java
@Service
public class MultiDomainToolService {
public String processRequest(String userId, String request, String domain) {
String contextualRequest = String.format("[Domain: %s] %s", domain, request);
Result<String> result = assistant.chat(userId, contextualRequest);
// Log tool usage
result.toolExecutions().forEach(execution ->
analyticsService.recordToolUsage(userId, domain, execution.request().name()));
return result.content();
}
}
```
### Streaming with Tool Execution
```java
interface StreamingAssistant {
TokenStream chat(String message);
}
StreamingAssistant assistant = AiServices.builder(StreamingAssistant.class)
.streamingChatModel(streamingChatModel)
.tools(new Tools())
.build();
TokenStream stream = assistant.chat("What's the weather and calculate 15*8?");
stream
.onToolExecuted(execution ->
System.out.println("Executed: " + execution.request().name()))
.onPartialResponse(System.out::print)
.onComplete(response -> System.out.println("Complete!"))
.start();
```
## Best Practices
### Tool Design Guidelines
1. **Descriptive Names**: Use clear, actionable tool names
2. **Parameter Validation**: Validate inputs before processing
3. **Error Messages**: Provide meaningful error messages
4. **Return Types**: Use appropriate return types that LLMs can understand
5. **Performance**: Avoid blocking operations in tools
### Security Considerations
1. **Permission Checks**: Validate user permissions before tool execution
2. **Input Sanitization**: Sanitize all tool inputs
3. **Audit Logging**: Log tool usage for security monitoring
4. **Rate Limiting**: Implement rate limiting for external APIs
### Performance Optimization
1. **Concurrent Execution**: Use `executeToolsConcurrently()` for independent tools
2. **Caching**: Cache frequently accessed data
3. **Monitoring**: Monitor tool performance and error rates
4. **Resource Management**: Handle external service timeouts gracefully

- [Implementation Patterns](./references/implementation-patterns.md) - Advanced implementation examples
- [Examples](./references/examples.md) - Practical usage examples
## Common Issues and Solutions
### Tool Not Found
**Problem**: LLM calls tools that don't exist
**Solution**: Implement hallucination handler:
```java
.hallucinatedToolNameStrategy(request -> {
return ToolExecutionResultMessage.from(request,
"Error: Tool '" + request.name() + "' does not exist");
})
```
### Parameter Validation Errors
**Problem**: Tools receive invalid parameters
**Solution**: Add input validation and error handlers:
```java
.toolArgumentsErrorHandler((error, context) -> {
return ToolErrorHandlerResult.text("Invalid arguments: " + error.getMessage());
})
```
### Performance Issues
**Problem**: Tools are slow or timeout
**Solution**: Use concurrent execution and resilience patterns:
```java
.executeToolsConcurrently(Executors.newFixedThreadPool(5))
.toolExecutionTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(30))
```

# LangChain4j Tool & Function Calling - Practical Examples
Production-ready examples for tool calling and function execution patterns with LangChain4j.
## 1. Basic Tool Calling
**Scenario**: Simple tools that LLM can invoke automatically.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.agent.tool.Tool;
import dev.langchain4j.agent.tool.P;
import dev.langchain4j.service.AiServices;
import dev.langchain4j.model.openai.OpenAiChatModel;
class Calculator {
@Tool("Add two numbers together")
int add(@P("first number") int a, @P("second number") int b) {
return a + b;
}
@Tool("Multiply two numbers")
int multiply(@P("first number") int a, @P("second number") int b) {
return a * b;
}
@Tool("Divide two numbers")
double divide(@P("dividend") double a, @P("divisor") double b) {
if (b == 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Cannot divide by zero");
return a / b;
}
}
interface CalculatorAssistant {
String chat(String query);
}
public class BasicToolExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.temperature(0.0) // Deterministic for tools
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(CalculatorAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.tools(new Calculator())
.build();
System.out.println(assistant.chat("What is 25 + 37?"));
System.out.println(assistant.chat("Calculate 12 * 8"));
System.out.println(assistant.chat("Divide 100 by 4"));
}
}
```
## 2. Multiple Tool Objects
**Scenario**: LLM selecting from multiple tool domains.
```java
class WeatherService {
@Tool("Get current weather for a city")
String getWeather(@P("city name") String city) {
// Simulate API call
return "Weather in " + city + ": 22°C, Partly cloudy";
}
@Tool("Get weather forecast for next 5 days")
String getForecast(@P("city name") String city) {
return "5-day forecast for " + city + ": Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy, Sunny, Cloudy";
}
}
class DateTimeService {
@Tool("Get current date and time")
String getCurrentDateTime() {
return LocalDateTime.now().toString();
}
@Tool("Get day of week for a date")
String getDayOfWeek(@P("date in YYYY-MM-DD format") String date) {
LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.parse(date);
return localDate.getDayOfWeek().toString();
}
}
interface MultiToolAssistant {
String help(String query);
}
public class MultipleToolsExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(MultiToolAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.tools(new WeatherService(), new DateTimeService())
.build();
System.out.println(assistant.help("What's the weather in Paris?"));
System.out.println(assistant.help("What time is it?"));
System.out.println(assistant.help("What day is 2024-12-25?"));
}
}
```
## 3. Tool with Complex Return Types
**Scenario**: Tools returning structured objects.
```java
class UserRecord {
public String id;
public String name;
public String email;
public LocalDate createdDate;
public UserRecord(String id, String name, String email, LocalDate createdDate) {
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
this.email = email;
this.createdDate = createdDate;
}
}
class UserService {
@Tool("Look up user information by ID")
UserRecord getUserById(@P("user ID") String userId) {
// Simulate database lookup
return new UserRecord(userId, "John Doe", "john@example.com", LocalDate.now());
}
@Tool("List all users (returns top 10)")
List<UserRecord> listUsers() {
return Arrays.asList(
new UserRecord("1", "Alice", "alice@example.com", LocalDate.now()),
new UserRecord("2", "Bob", "bob@example.com", LocalDate.now())
);
}
@Tool("Search users by name pattern")
List<UserRecord> searchByName(@P("name pattern") String pattern) {
return Arrays.asList(
new UserRecord("1", "John Smith", "john.smith@example.com", LocalDate.now())
);
}
}
interface UserAssistant {
String answer(String query);
}
public class ComplexReturnTypeExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(UserAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.tools(new UserService())
.build();
System.out.println(assistant.answer("Who is user 123?"));
System.out.println(assistant.answer("List all users"));
System.out.println(assistant.answer("Find users named John"));
}
}
```
## 4. Error Handling in Tools
**Scenario**: Graceful handling of tool errors.
```java
class DatabaseService {
@Tool("Execute read query on database")
String queryDatabase(@P("SQL query") String query) {
// Validate query is SELECT only
if (!query.trim().toUpperCase().startsWith("SELECT")) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Only SELECT queries allowed");
}
return "Query result: 42 rows returned";
}
@Tool("Get user count by status")
int getUserCount(@P("status") String status) {
if (!Arrays.asList("active", "inactive", "pending").contains(status)) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid status: " + status);
}
return 150;
}
}
interface ResilientAssistant {
String execute(String command);
}
public class ErrorHandlingExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(ResilientAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.tools(new DatabaseService())
// Handle tool execution errors
.toolExecutionErrorHandler((toolCall, exception) -> {
System.err.println("Tool error in " + toolCall.name() + ": " + exception.getMessage());
return "Error: " + exception.getMessage();
})
// Handle malformed tool arguments
.toolArgumentsErrorHandler((toolCall, exception) -> {
System.err.println("Invalid arguments for " + toolCall.name());
return "Invalid arguments";
})
.build();
System.out.println(assistant.execute("Execute SELECT * FROM users"));
System.out.println(assistant.execute("How many active users?"));
}
}
```
## 5. Streaming Tool Execution
**Scenario**: Tools called during streaming responses.
```java
import dev.langchain4j.service.TokenStream;
interface StreamingToolAssistant {
TokenStream execute(String command);
}
public class StreamingToolsExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var streamingModel = OpenAiStreamingChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(StreamingToolAssistant.class)
.streamingChatModel(streamingModel)
.tools(new Calculator())
.build();
assistant.execute("Calculate (5 + 3) * 4 and explain")
.onNext(token -> System.out.print(token))
.onToolExecuted(execution ->
System.out.println("\n[Tool: " + execution.request().name() + "]"))
.onCompleteResponse(response ->
System.out.println("\n--- Complete ---"))
.onError(error -> System.err.println("Error: " + error))
.start();
try {
Thread.sleep(3000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
}
}
```
## 6. Dynamic Tool Provider
**Scenario**: Select tools dynamically based on query context.
```java
interface DynamicToolAssistant {
String help(String query);
}
class MathTools {
@Tool("Add two numbers")
int add(@P("a") int a, @P("b") int b) { return a + b; }
}
class TextTools {
@Tool("Convert text to uppercase")
String toUpper(@P("text") String text) { return text.toUpperCase(); }
@Tool("Convert text to lowercase")
String toLower(@P("text") String text) { return text.toLowerCase(); }
}
public class DynamicToolProviderExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(DynamicToolAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
// Provide tools dynamically
.toolProvider(context -> {
if (context.userMessage().contains("math") || context.userMessage().contains("calculate")) {
return Collections.singletonList(new MathTools());
} else if (context.userMessage().contains("text") || context.userMessage().contains("convert")) {
return Collections.singletonList(new TextTools());
}
return Collections.emptyList();
})
.build();
System.out.println(assistant.help("Calculate 25 + 37"));
System.out.println(assistant.help("Convert HELLO to lowercase"));
}
}
```
## 7. Tool with Memory Context
**Scenario**: Tools accessing conversation memory.
```java
class ContextAwareDataService {
private Map<String, String> userPreferences = new HashMap<>();
@Tool("Save user preference")
void savePreference(@P("key") String key, @P("value") String value) {
userPreferences.put(key, value);
System.out.println("Saved: " + key + " = " + value);
}
@Tool("Get user preference")
String getPreference(@P("key") String key) {
return userPreferences.getOrDefault(key, "Not found");
}
@Tool("List all preferences")
Map<String, String> listPreferences() {
return new HashMap<>(userPreferences);
}
}
interface ContextAssistant {
String chat(String message);
}
public class ToolMemoryExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.build();
var dataService = new ContextAwareDataService();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(ContextAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.chatMemory(MessageWindowChatMemory.withMaxMessages(10))
.tools(dataService)
.build();
System.out.println(assistant.chat("Remember that I like Java"));
System.out.println(assistant.chat("What do I like?"));
System.out.println(assistant.chat("Also remember I use Spring Boot"));
System.out.println(assistant.chat("What are all my preferences?"));
}
}
```
## 8. Stateful Tool Execution
**Scenario**: Tools that maintain state across calls.
```java
class StatefulCounter {
private int count = 0;
@Tool("Increment counter by 1")
int increment() {
return ++count;
}
@Tool("Decrement counter by 1")
int decrement() {
return --count;
}
@Tool("Get current counter value")
int getCount() {
return count;
}
@Tool("Reset counter to zero")
void reset() {
count = 0;
}
}
interface CounterAssistant {
String interact(String command);
}
public class StatefulToolExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.build();
var counter = new StatefulCounter();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(CounterAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.tools(counter)
.build();
System.out.println(assistant.interact("Increment the counter"));
System.out.println(assistant.interact("Increment again"));
System.out.println(assistant.interact("What's the current count?"));
System.out.println(assistant.interact("Reset the counter"));
System.out.println(assistant.interact("Decrement"));
}
}
```
## 9. Tool Validation and Authorization
**Scenario**: Validate and authorize tool execution.
```java
class SecureDataService {
@Tool("Get sensitive data")
String getSensitiveData(@P("data_id") String dataId) {
// This should normally check authorization
if (!dataId.matches("^[A-Z][0-9]{3}$")) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid data ID format");
}
return "Sensitive data for " + dataId;
}
@Tool("Delete data (requires authorization)")
void deleteData(@P("data_id") String dataId) {
if (!dataId.matches("^[A-Z][0-9]{3}$")) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid data ID");
}
System.out.println("Data " + dataId + " deleted");
}
}
interface SecureAssistant {
String execute(String command);
}
public class AuthorizationExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(SecureAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.tools(new SecureDataService())
.toolExecutionErrorHandler((request, exception) -> {
System.err.println("Authorization/validation failed: " + exception.getMessage());
return "Operation denied: " + exception.getMessage();
})
.build();
System.out.println(assistant.execute("Get data A001"));
System.out.println(assistant.execute("Get data invalid"));
}
}
```
## 10. Advanced: Tool Result Processing
**Scenario**: Process and transform tool results before returning to LLM.
```java
class DataService {
@Tool("Fetch user data from API")
String fetchUserData(@P("user_id") String userId) {
return "User{id=" + userId + ", name=John, role=Admin}";
}
}
interface ProcessingAssistant {
String answer(String query);
}
public class ToolResultProcessingExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(ProcessingAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.tools(new DataService())
// Can add interceptors for tool results if needed
// This would be in a future LangChain4j version
.build();
System.out.println(assistant.answer("What is the role of user 123?"));
}
}
```
## Best Practices
1. **Clear Descriptions**: Write detailed @Tool descriptions for LLM context
2. **Strong Typing**: Use specific types (int, String) instead of generic Object
3. **Parameter Descriptions**: Use @P with clear descriptions of expected formats
4. **Error Handling**: Always implement error handlers for graceful failures
5. **Temperature**: Set temperature=0 for deterministic tool selection
6. **Validation**: Validate all parameters before execution
7. **Logging**: Log tool calls and results for debugging
8. **State Management**: Keep tools stateless or manage state explicitly
9. **Timeout**: Set timeouts on long-running tools
10. **Authorization**: Validate authorization before executing sensitive operations

# LangChain4j Tool & Function Calling - Implementation Patterns
Comprehensive implementation patterns for tool and function calling with LangChain4j.
## Core Tool Definition Patterns
### Basic Tool Definition with @Tool Annotation
The `@Tool` annotation converts regular Java methods into tools that LLMs can discover and execute.
**Basic Tool Definition:**
```java
public class CalculatorTools {
@Tool("Adds two given numbers")
public double add(double a, double b) {
return a + b;
}
@Tool("Multiplies two given numbers")
public double multiply(double a, double b) {
return a * b;
}
@Tool("Calculates the square root of a given number")
public double squareRoot(double x) {
return Math.sqrt(x);
}
@Tool("Calculates power of a number")
public double power(double base, double exponent) {
return Math.pow(base, exponent);
}
}
```
**Advanced Tool with Parameter Descriptions:**
```java
public class WeatherService {
@Tool("Get current weather conditions for a specific location")
public String getCurrentWeather(@P("The name of the city or location") String location) {
try {
WeatherData weather = weatherClient.getCurrentWeather(location);
return String.format("Weather in %s: %s, %.1f°C, humidity %.0f%%, wind %.1f km/h",
location, weather.getCondition(), weather.getTemperature(),
weather.getHumidity(), weather.getWindSpeed());
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Sorry, I couldn't retrieve weather information for " + location;
}
}
}
```
### Parameter Handling and Validation
**Optional Parameters:**
```java
public class DatabaseTools {
@Tool("Search for users in the database")
public List<User> searchUsers(
@P("Search term for user name or email") String searchTerm,
@P(value = "Maximum number of results to return", required = false) Integer limit,
@P(value = "Sort order: ASC or DESC", required = false) String sortOrder) {
int actualLimit = limit != null ? limit : 10;
String actualSort = sortOrder != null ? sortOrder : "ASC";
return userRepository.searchUsers(searchTerm, actualLimit, actualSort);
}
}
```
**Complex Parameter Types:**
```java
public class OrderManagementTools {
@Description("Customer order information")
public static class OrderRequest {
@Description("Customer ID who is placing the order")
private Long customerId;
@Description("List of items to order")
private List<OrderItem> items;
@Description("Shipping address for the order")
private Address shippingAddress;
@Description("Preferred delivery date (optional)")
@JsonProperty(required = false)
private LocalDate preferredDeliveryDate;
}
@Tool("Create a new customer order")
public String createOrder(OrderRequest orderRequest) {
try {
// Validation and processing logic
Order order = orderService.createOrder(orderRequest);
return String.format("Order created successfully! Order ID: %s, Total: $%.2f",
order.getId(), order.getTotal());
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Failed to create order: " + e.getMessage();
}
}
}
```
## Memory Context Integration
### @ToolMemoryId for User Context
Tools can access conversation memory context to provide personalized and contextual responses:
```java
public class PersonalizedTools {
@Tool("Get personalized recommendations based on user preferences")
public String getRecommendations(@ToolMemoryId String userId,
@P("Type of recommendation: books, movies, restaurants") String type) {
UserPreferences prefs = preferenceService.getUserPreferences(userId);
List<String> history = historyService.getSearchHistory(userId, type);
return recommendationEngine.getRecommendations(type, prefs, history);
}
}
```
## Dynamic Tool Provisioning
### ToolProvider for Context-Aware Tools
```java
public class DynamicToolProvider implements ToolProvider {
@Override
public ToolProviderResult provideTools(ToolProviderRequest request) {
String userId = extractUserId(request);
UserPermissions permissions = permissionService.getUserPermissions(userId);
String userMessage = request.userMessage().singleText().toLowerCase();
ToolProviderResult.Builder resultBuilder = ToolProviderResult.builder();
// Always available tools
addBasicTools(resultBuilder);
// Conditional tools based on permissions
if (permissions.canAccessFinancialData()) {
addFinancialTools(resultBuilder);
}
if (permissions.canModifyUserData()) {
addUserManagementTools(resultBuilder);
}
return resultBuilder.build();
}
}
```
### Programmatic Tool Definition
```java
public class ProgrammaticToolsService {
public Map<ToolSpecification, ToolExecutor> createDatabaseTools(DatabaseConfig config) {
Map<ToolSpecification, ToolExecutor> tools = new HashMap<>();
// Query tool
ToolSpecification querySpec = ToolSpecification.builder()
.name("execute_database_query")
.description("Execute a SQL query on the database")
.parameters(JsonObjectSchema.builder()
.addStringProperty("query", "SQL query to execute")
.addBooleanProperty("readOnly", "Whether this is a read-only query")
.required("query", "readOnly")
.build())
.build();
ToolExecutor queryExecutor = (request, memoryId) -> {
Map<String, Object> args = fromJson(request.arguments());
String query = args.get("query").toString();
boolean readOnly = (Boolean) args.get("readOnly");
return databaseService.executeQuery(query, readOnly);
};
tools.put(querySpec, queryExecutor);
return tools;
}
}
```
## AI Services as Tools
AI Services can be used as tools by other AI Services, enabling hierarchical architectures:
```java
// Specialized Expert Services
interface DataAnalysisExpert {
@UserMessage("You are a data analysis expert. Analyze this data and provide insights: {{data}}")
@Tool("Expert data analysis and insights")
String analyzeData(@V("data") String data);
}
// Router Agent that delegates to experts
interface ExpertRouter {
@UserMessage("""
Analyze the user request and determine which expert(s) should handle it:
- Use the data analysis expert for data-related questions
- Use the security expert for security-related concerns
User request: {{it}}
""")
String routeToExperts(String request);
}
@Service
public class ExpertConsultationService {
public ExpertConsultationService(ChatModel chatModel) {
// Build expert services
DataAnalysisExpert dataExpert = AiServices.create(DataAnalysisExpert.class, chatModel);
// Build router with experts as tools
this.router = AiServices.builder(ExpertRouter.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.tools(dataExpert)
.build();
}
}
```
## Advanced Tool Patterns
### Immediate Return Tools
```java
public class DirectResponseTools {
@Tool(value = "Get current user information", returnBehavior = ReturnBehavior.IMMEDIATE)
public String getCurrentUserInfo(@ToolMemoryId String userId) {
User user = userService.findById(userId);
return String.format("""
User Information:
Name: %s
Email: %s
Role: %s
""", user.getName(), user.getEmail(), user.getRole());
}
}
```
### Concurrent Tool Execution
```java
public class ConcurrentTools {
@Tool("Get stock price for a company")
public String getStockPrice(@P("Stock symbol") String symbol) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
return stockApiService.getPrice(symbol);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
return "Error retrieving stock price";
}
}
@Tool("Get company news")
public String getCompanyNews(@P("Company symbol") String symbol) {
// Similar implementation
}
}
// Configure for concurrent execution
Assistant assistant = AiServices.builder(Assistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.tools(new ConcurrentTools())
.executeToolsConcurrently() // Execute tools in parallel
.build();
```
## Error Handling and Resilience
### Tool Execution Error Handling
```java
public class ResilientTools {
private final CircuitBreaker circuitBreaker;
private final RetryTemplate retryTemplate;
@Tool("Get external data with resilience patterns")
public String getExternalData(@P("Data source identifier") String sourceId) {
return circuitBreaker.executeSupplier(() -> {
return retryTemplate.execute(context -> {
try {
return externalApiService.fetchData(sourceId);
} catch (ApiException e) {
if (e.isRetryable()) {
throw e; // Will be retried
}
return "Data temporarily unavailable: " + e.getMessage();
}
});
});
}
}
```
### Graceful Degradation
```java
public class FallbackTools {
@Tool("Get weather information with fallback providers")
public String getWeather(@P("Location name") String location) {
// Try primary provider first
for (DataProvider provider : dataProviders) {
try {
WeatherData weather = provider.getWeather(location);
if (weather != null) {
return formatWeather(weather, provider.getName());
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// Continue to next provider
}
}
return "Weather information is currently unavailable for " + location;
}
}
```
## Streaming and Tool Execution
### Streaming with Tool Callbacks
```java
interface StreamingToolAssistant {
TokenStream chat(String message);
}
StreamingToolAssistant assistant = AiServices.builder(StreamingToolAssistant.class)
.streamingChatModel(streamingChatModel)
.tools(new CalculatorTools(), new WeatherService())
.build();
TokenStream stream = assistant.chat("What's the weather in Paris and calculate 15 + 27?");
stream
.onToolExecuted(toolExecution -> {
System.out.println("Tool executed: " + toolExecution.request().name());
System.out.println("Result: " + toolExecution.result());
})
.onPartialResponse(partialResponse -> {
System.out.print(partialResponse);
})
.start();
```
### Accessing Tool Execution Results
```java
interface AnalyticsAssistant {
Result<String> analyze(String request);
}
AnalyticsAssistant assistant = AiServices.builder(AnalyticsAssistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
.tools(new DataAnalysisTools(), new DatabaseTools())
.build();
Result<String> result = assistant.analyze("Analyze sales data for Q4 2023");
// Access the response
String response = result.content();
// Access tool execution details
List<ToolExecution> toolExecutions = result.toolExecutions();
for (ToolExecution execution : toolExecutions) {
System.out.println("Tool: " + execution.request().name());
System.out.println("Duration: " + execution.duration().toMillis() + "ms");
}
```
## Complete Tool-Enabled Application
### Spring Boot Integration
```java
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/assistant")
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class ToolAssistantController {
private final ToolEnabledAssistant assistant;
@PostMapping("/chat")
public ResponseEntity<ChatResponse> chat(@RequestBody ChatRequest request) {
try {
Result<String> result = assistant.chat(request.getUserId(), request.getMessage());
ChatResponse response = ChatResponse.builder()
.response(result.content())
.toolsUsed(extractToolNames(result.toolExecutions()))
.tokenUsage(result.tokenUsage())
.build();
return ResponseEntity.ok(response);
} catch (Exception e) {
return ResponseEntity.badRequest().body(
ChatResponse.error("Error processing request: " + e.getMessage())
);
}
}
}
interface ToolEnabledAssistant {
Result<String> chat(@MemoryId String userId, String message);
List<ToolInfo> getAvailableTools(String userId);
}
```
## Performance Optimization
### Tool Performance Monitoring
```java
@Component
public class ToolPerformanceMonitor {
@EventListener
public void handleToolExecution(ToolExecutionEvent event) {
// Record execution metrics
Timer.Sample sample = Timer.start(meterRegistry);
sample.stop(Timer.builder("tool.execution.duration")
.tag("tool", event.getToolName())
.tag("success", String.valueOf(event.isSuccessful()))
.register(meterRegistry));
// Record error rates
if (!event.isSuccessful()) {
meterRegistry.counter("tool.execution.errors",
"tool", event.getToolName(),
"error_type", event.getErrorType())
.increment();
}
}
}
```
## Testing Framework
```java
@Component
public class ToolTestingFramework {
public ToolValidationResult validateTool(Object toolInstance, String methodName) {
try {
TestAssistant testAssistant = AiServices.builder(TestAssistant.class)
.chatModel(testChatModel)
.tools(toolInstance)
.build();
String response = testAssistant.testTool(methodName);
return ToolValidationResult.builder()
.toolName(methodName)
.isValid(response != null && !response.contains("Error"))
.response(response)
.build();
} catch (Exception e) {
return ToolValidationResult.builder()
.toolName(methodName)
.isValid(false)
.error(e.getMessage())
.build();
}
}
}
```

String message = context.userMessage().singleText();
if (message.contains("calculate")) {
return Arrays.asList(new Calculator());
} else if (message.contains("weather")) {
return Arrays.asList(new WeatherService());
} else {
return Collections.emptyList();
}
})
```
## Tool Execution Models
### ToolExecutionRequest
```java
interface ToolExecutionRequest {
String name(); // Tool name from @Tool
String description(); // Tool description
Map<String, String> arguments(); // Tool arguments
}
```
### ToolExecution (for streaming)
```java
class ToolExecution {
ToolExecutionRequest request(); // The tool being executed
String result(); // Execution result
}
```
## Return Types
### Supported Return Types
**Primitives**:
```java
@Tool("Add numbers")
int add(@P("a") int x, @P("b") int y) { return x + y; }
@Tool("Compare values")
boolean isGreater(@P("a") int x, @P("b") int y) { return x > y; }
@Tool("Get temperature")
double getTemp() { return 22.5; }
```
**String**:
```java
@Tool("Get greeting")
String greet(@P("name") String name) { return "Hello " + name; }
```
**Objects (will be converted to String)**:
```java
@Tool("Get user")
User getUser(@P("id") String id) { return new User(id); }
@Tool("Get user list")
List<User> listUsers() { return userService.getAll(); }
```
**Collections**:
```java
@Tool("Search documents")
List<Document> search(@P("query") String q) { return results; }
@Tool("Get key-value pairs")
Map<String, String> getConfig() { return config; }
```
**Void**:

```
**Strings and wrapper types**:
```java
String, Integer, Long, Float, Double, Boolean
```
**Collections**:
```java
List<String>, Set<Integer>, Collection<T>
```
**Custom objects** (must have toString() that's meaningful):
```java
@Tool("Process data")
void process(CustomData data) { ... }
```
**Dates and times**:
```java
@Tool("Get events for date")
List<Event> getEvents(LocalDate date) { ... }
@Tool("Schedule for time")
void schedule(LocalDateTime when) { ... }
```
## Annotation Combinations
### Complete Tool Definition
```java
class DataService {
// Basic tool
@Tool("Get user information")
User getUser(@P("user ID") String userId) { ... }
// Tool with multiple params
@Tool("Search users by criteria")
List<User> search(
@P("first name") String firstName,
@P("last name") String lastName,
@P("department") String dept
) { ... }
// Tool returning collection
@Tool("List all active users")
List<User> getActiveUsers() { ... }
// Tool with void return
@Tool("Archive old records")
void archiveOldRecords(@P("older than days") int days) { ... }
// Tool with complex return
@Tool("Get detailed report")
Map<String, Object> generateReport(@P("month") int month) { ... }
}
```
## Best Practices for API Usage
### Tool Design
1. **Descriptive Names**: Use clear, actionable names
```java
// Good
@Tool("Get current weather for a city")
String getWeather(String city) { ... }
// Avoid
@Tool("Get info")
String getInfo(String x) { ... }
```
2. **Parameter Descriptions**: Be specific about formats
```java
// Good
@Tool("Calculate date difference")
long daysBetween(
@P("start date in YYYY-MM-DD format") String start,
@P("end date in YYYY-MM-DD format") String end
) { ... }
// Avoid
@Tool("Calculate difference")
long calculate(@P("date1") String d1, @P("date2") String d2) { ... }
```
3. **Appropriate Return Types**: Return what LLM can use
```java
// Good - LLM can interpret
@Tool("Get user role")
String getUserRole(String userId) { return "admin"; }
// Avoid - hard to parse
@Tool("Get user info")
User getUser(String id) { ... } // Will convert to toString()
```
4. **Error Messages**: Provide actionable errors
```java
.toolExecutionErrorHandler((request, exception) -> {
if (exception instanceof IllegalArgumentException) {
return "Invalid argument: " + exception.getMessage();
}
return "Error executing " + request.name();
})
```
### Common Patterns
**Validation Pattern**:
```java
@Tool("Create user")
String createUser(@P("email") String email) {
if (!email.contains("@")) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid email format");
}
return "User created: " + email;
}
```
**Batch Pattern**:
```java
@Tool("Bulk delete users")
String deleteUsers(@P("user IDs comma-separated") String userIds) {
List<String> ids = Arrays.asList(userIds.split(","));
return "Deleted " + ids.size() + " users";
}
```
**Async Pattern** (synchronous wrapper):
```java
@Tool("Submit async task")
String submitTask(@P("task name") String name) {
// Internally async, but returns immediately
taskExecutor.submitAsync(name);
return "Task " + name + " submitted";
}
```
## Integration with AiServices
### Complete Setup
```java
interface Assistant {
String execute(String command);
}
public class Setup {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var chatModel = OpenAiChatModel.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
.modelName("gpt-4o-mini")
.temperature(0.0) // Deterministic
.build();
var assistant = AiServices.builder(Assistant.class)
.chatModel(chatModel)
// Register tools
.tools(
new Calculator(),
new WeatherService(),
new UserDataService()
)
// Error handling
.toolExecutionErrorHandler((request, exception) -> {
System.err.println("Tool error: " + exception.getMessage());
return "Tool failed";
})
// Optional: memory for context
.chatMemory(MessageWindowChatMemory.withMaxMessages(10))
.build();
// Use the assistant
String result = assistant.execute("What is the weather in Paris?");
System.out.println(result);
}
}
```

# LangChain4J Vector Stores Configuration
Configure vector stores for Retrieval-Augmented Generation applications with LangChain4J.
## When to Use
To configure vector stores when:
- Building RAG applications requiring embedding storage and retrieval
- Implementing semantic search in Java applications
- Integrating LLMs with vector databases for context-aware responses
- Configuring multi-modal embedding storage for text, images, or other data
- Setting up hybrid search combining vector similarity and full-text search
- Migrating between different vector store providers
- Optimizing vector database performance for production workloads
- Building AI-powered applications with memory and persistence
- Implementing document chunking and embedding pipelines
- Creating recommendation systems based on vector similarity
## Instructions
### Set Up Basic Vector Store
Configure an embedding store for vector operations:
```java
@Bean
public EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> embeddingStore() {
return PgVectorEmbeddingStore.builder()
.host("localhost")
.port(5432)
.database("vectordb")
.user("username")
.password("password")
.table("embeddings")
.dimension(1536) // OpenAI embedding dimension
.createTable(true)
.useIndex(true)
.build();
}
```
### Configure Multiple Vector Stores
Use different stores for different use cases:
```java
@Configuration
public class MultiVectorStoreConfiguration {
@Bean
@Qualifier("documentsStore")
public EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> documentsEmbeddingStore() {
return PgVectorEmbeddingStore.builder()
.table("document_embeddings")
.dimension(1536)
.build();
}
@Bean
@Qualifier("chatHistoryStore")
public EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> chatHistoryEmbeddingStore() {
return MongoDbEmbeddingStore.builder()
.collectionName("chat_embeddings")
.build();
}
}
```
### Implement Document Ingestion
Use EmbeddingStoreIngestor for automated document processing:
```java
@Bean
public EmbeddingStoreIngestor embeddingStoreIngestor(
EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> embeddingStore,
EmbeddingModel embeddingModel) {
return EmbeddingStoreIngestor.builder()
.documentSplitter(DocumentSplitters.recursive(
300, // maxSegmentSizeInTokens
20, // maxOverlapSizeInTokens
new OpenAiTokenizer(GPT_3_5_TURBO)
))
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.build();
}
```
### Set Up Metadata Filtering
Configure metadata-based filtering capabilities:
```java
// MongoDB with metadata field mapping
IndexMapping indexMapping = IndexMapping.builder()
.dimension(1536)
.metadataFieldNames(Set.of("category", "source", "created_date", "author"))
.build();
// Search with metadata filters
EmbeddingSearchRequest request = EmbeddingSearchRequest.builder()
.queryEmbedding(queryEmbedding)
.maxResults(10)
.filter(and(
metadataKey("category").isEqualTo("technical_docs"),
metadataKey("created_date").isGreaterThan(LocalDate.now().minusMonths(6))
))
.build();
```
### Configure Production Settings
Implement connection pooling and monitoring:
```java
@Bean
public EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> optimizedPgVectorStore() {
HikariConfig hikariConfig = new HikariConfig();
hikariConfig.setJdbcUrl("jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/vectordb");
hikariConfig.setUsername("username");
hikariConfig.setPassword("password");
hikariConfig.setMaximumPoolSize(20);
hikariConfig.setMinimumIdle(5);
hikariConfig.setConnectionTimeout(30000);
DataSource dataSource = new HikariDataSource(hikariConfig);
return PgVectorEmbeddingStore.builder()
.dataSource(dataSource)
.table("embeddings")
.dimension(1536)
.useIndex(true)
.build();
}
```
### Implement Health Checks
Monitor vector store connectivity:
```java
@Component
public class VectorStoreHealthIndicator implements HealthIndicator {
private final EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> embeddingStore;
@Override
public Health health() {
try {
embeddingStore.search(EmbeddingSearchRequest.builder()
.queryEmbedding(new Embedding(Collections.nCopies(1536, 0.0f)))
.maxResults(1)
.build());
return Health.up()
.withDetail("store", embeddingStore.getClass().getSimpleName())
.build();
} catch (Exception e) {
return Health.down()
.withDetail("error", e.getMessage())
.build();
}
}
}
```
## Examples
### Basic RAG Application Setup
```java
@Configuration
public class SimpleRagConfig {
@Bean
public EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> embeddingStore() {
return PgVectorEmbeddingStore.builder()
.host("localhost")
.database("rag_db")
.table("documents")
.dimension(1536)
.build();
}
@Bean
public ChatLanguageModel chatModel() {
return OpenAiChatModel.withApiKey(System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"));
}
}
```
### Semantic Search Service
```java
@Service
public class SemanticSearchService {
private final EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> store;
private final EmbeddingModel embeddingModel;
public List<String> search(String query, int maxResults) {
Embedding queryEmbedding = embeddingModel.embed(query).content();
EmbeddingSearchRequest request = EmbeddingSearchRequest.builder()
.queryEmbedding(queryEmbedding)
.maxResults(maxResults)
.minScore(0.75)
.build();
return store.search(request).matches().stream()
.map(match -> match.embedded().text())
.toList();
}
}
```
### Production Setup with Monitoring
```java
@Configuration
public class ProductionVectorStoreConfig {
@Bean
public EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> vectorStore(
@Value("${vector.store.host}") String host,
MeterRegistry meterRegistry) {
EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> store = PgVectorEmbeddingStore.builder()
.host(host)
.database("production_vectors")
.useIndex(true)
.indexListSize(200)
.build();
return new MonitoredEmbeddingStore<>(store, meterRegistry);
}
}
```
## Best Practices
### Choose the Right Vector Store
**For Development:**
- Use `InMemoryEmbeddingStore` for local development and testing
- Fast setup, no external dependencies
- Data lost on application restart
**For Production:**
- **PostgreSQL + pgvector**: Excellent for existing PostgreSQL environments
- **Pinecone**: Managed service, good for rapid prototyping
- **MongoDB Atlas**: Good integration with existing MongoDB applications
- **Milvus/Zilliz**: High performance for large-scale deployments
### Configure Appropriate Index Types
Choose index types based on performance requirements:
```java
// For high recall requirements
.indexType(IndexType.FLAT) // Exact search, slower but accurate
// For balanced performance
.indexType(IndexType.IVF_FLAT) // Good balance of speed and accuracy
// For high-speed approximate search
.indexType(IndexType.HNSW) // Fastest, slightly less accurate
```
### Optimize Vector Dimensions
Match embedding dimensions to your model:
```java
// OpenAI text-embedding-3-small
.dimension(1536)
// OpenAI text-embedding-3-large
.dimension(3072)
// Sentence Transformers
.dimension(384) // all-MiniLM-L6-v2
.dimension(768) // all-mpnet-base-v2
```
### Implement Batch Operations
Use batch operations for better performance:
```java
@Service
public class BatchEmbeddingService {
private static final int BATCH_SIZE = 100;
public void addDocumentsBatch(List<Document> documents) {
for (List<Document> batch : Lists.partition(documents, BATCH_SIZE)) {
List<TextSegment> segments = batch.stream()
.map(doc -> TextSegment.from(doc.text(), doc.metadata()))
.collect(Collectors.toList());
List<Embedding> embeddings = embeddingModel.embedAll(segments)
.content();
embeddingStore.addAll(embeddings, segments);
}
}
}
```
### Secure Configuration
Protect sensitive configuration:
```java
// Use environment variables
@Value("${vector.store.api.key:#{null}}")
private String apiKey;
// Validate configuration
@PostConstruct
public void validateConfiguration() {
if (StringUtils.isBlank(apiKey)) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Vector store API key must be configured");
}
}
```

And(filter1, filter2)
new
Or(filter1, filter2)
new
Not(filter1)
```
### Dynamic Filtering
```java
.dynamicFilter(query ->{
String userId = extractUserIdFromQuery(query);
return new
IsEqualTo("userId",userId);
})
```
## Integration with EmbeddingStoreIngestor
### Basic Ingestor

EmbeddingStoreIngestor ingestor = EmbeddingStoreIngestor.builder()
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel) // Required
.embeddingStore(store) // Required
.build();
IngestionResult result = ingestor.ingest(document);
```
### Advanced Ingestor
```java
EmbeddingStoreIngestor ingestor = EmbeddingStoreIngestor.builder()
.documentTransformer(doc -> {
doc.metadata().put("ingested_date", LocalDate.now());
return doc;
})
.documentSplitter(DocumentSplitters.recursive(500, 50))
.textSegmentTransformer(segment -> {
String enhanced = "File: " + segment.metadata().getString("filename") +
"\n" + segment.text();
return TextSegment.from(enhanced, segment.metadata());
})
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.embeddingStore(store)
.build();
ingestor.
ingest(documents);
```
## ContentRetriever Integration
### Basic Retriever
```java
ContentRetriever retriever = EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever.builder()
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.maxResults(3)
.minScore(0.7)
.build();
```
### Advanced Retriever
```java
ContentRetriever retriever = EmbeddingStoreContentRetriever.builder()
.embeddingStore(embeddingStore)
.embeddingModel(embeddingModel)
.dynamicMaxResults(query -> 10)
.dynamicMinScore(query -> 0.75)
.dynamicFilter(query ->
new IsEqualTo("userId", getCurrentUserId())
)
.build();
```
## Multi-Tenant Support
### Namespace-based Isolation (Pinecone)
```java
// User 1
var store1 = PineconeEmbeddingStore.builder()
.apiKey(key)
.indexName("docs")
.namespace("user-1")
.build();
// User 2
var store2 = PineconeEmbeddingStore.builder()
.apiKey(key)
.indexName("docs")
.namespace("user-2")
.build();
```
### Metadata-based Isolation
```java
.dynamicFilter(query ->
new
IsEqualTo("userId",getContextUserId())
)
```
## Performance Optimization
### Connection Configuration
```java
// With timeout and pooling
store =QdrantEmbeddingStore.
builder()
.
host("localhost")
.
port(6333)
.
timeout(Duration.ofSeconds(30))
.
maxConnections(10)
.
build();
```
### Batch Operations
```java
// Batch add
List<Embedding> embeddings = embeddingModel.embedAll(segments).content();
List<String> ids = store.addAll(embeddings, segments);
```
### Caching Strategy
```java
// Cache results locally
Map<String, List<Content>> cache = new HashMap<>();
```
## Monitoring and Debugging
### Enable Logging
```java
ChromaEmbeddingStore store = ChromaEmbeddingStore.builder()
.baseUrl("http://localhost:8000")
.collectionName("docs")
.logRequests(true)
.logResponses(true)
.build();
```
## Best Practices
1. **Choose Right Store**: In-memory for dev, Pinecone/Qdrant for production
2. **Configure Dimension**: Match embedding model dimension (usually 1536)
3. **Set Thresholds**: Adjust minScore based on precision needs (0.7-0.85 typical)
4. **Use Metadata**: Add rich metadata for filtering and traceability
5. **Index Strategically**: Create indexes on frequently filtered fields
6. **Monitor Performance**: Track query latency and relevance metrics
7. **Plan Scaling**: Consider multi-tenancy and sharding strategies
8. **Backup Data**: Implement backup and recovery procedures
9. **Version Management**: Track embedding model versions
10. **Test Thoroughly**: Validate retrieval quality with sample queries

# Qdrant Vector Database Integration
## Overview
Qdrant is an AI-native vector database for semantic search and similarity retrieval. This skill provides patterns for integrating Qdrant with Java applications, focusing on Spring Boot integration and LangChain4j framework support. Enable efficient vector search capabilities for RAG systems, recommendation engines, and semantic search applications.
## When to Use
Use this skill when implementing:
- Semantic search or recommendation systems in Spring Boot applications
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines with Java and LangChain4j
- Vector database integration for AI and machine learning applications
- High-performance similarity search with filtered queries
- Embedding storage and retrieval for context-aware applications
## Getting Started: Qdrant Setup
To begin integration, first deploy a Qdrant instance.
### Local Development with Docker
```bash
# Pull the latest Qdrant image
docker pull qdrant/qdrant
# Run the Qdrant container
docker run -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 \
-v "$(pwd)/qdrant_storage:/qdrant/storage:z" \
qdrant/qdrant
```
Access Qdrant via:
- **REST API**: `http://localhost:6333`
- **gRPC API**: `http://localhost:6334` (used by Java client)
## Core Java Client Integration
Add dependencies to your build configuration and initialize the client for programmatic access.
### Dependency Configuration
**Maven:**
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>io.qdrant</groupId>
<artifactId>client</artifactId>
<version>1.15.0</version>
</dependency>
```
**Gradle:**
```gradle
implementation 'io.qdrant:client:1.15.0'
```
### Client Initialization
Create and configure the Qdrant client for application use:
```java
import io.qdrant.client.QdrantClient;
import io.qdrant.client.QdrantGrpcClient;
// Basic local connection
QdrantClient client = new QdrantClient(
QdrantGrpcClient.newBuilder("localhost").build());
// Secure connection with API key
QdrantClient secureClient = new QdrantClient(
QdrantGrpcClient.newBuilder("localhost", 6334, false)
.withApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY")
.build());
// Managed connection with TLS
QdrantClient tlsClient = new QdrantClient(
QdrantGrpcClient.newBuilder(channel)
.withApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY")
.build());
```
## Collection Management
Create and configure vector collections with appropriate distance metrics and dimensions.
### Create Collections
```java
import io.qdrant.client.grpc.Collections.Distance;
import io.qdrant.client.grpc.Collections.VectorParams;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException;
// Create a collection with cosine distance
client.createCollectionAsync("search-collection",
VectorParams.newBuilder()
.setDistance(Distance.Cosine)
.setSize(384)
.build()).get();
// Create collection with configuration
client.createCollectionAsync("recommendation-engine",
VectorParams.newBuilder()
.setDistance(Distance.Euclidean)
.setSize(512)
.build()).get();
```
## Vector Operations
Perform common vector operations including upsert, search, and filtering.
### Upsert Points
```java
import io.qdrant.client.grpc.Points.PointStruct;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import static io.qdrant.client.PointIdFactory.id;
import static io.qdrant.client.ValueFactory.value;
import static io.qdrant.client.VectorsFactory.vectors;
// Batch upsert vector points
List<PointStruct> points = List.of(
PointStruct.newBuilder()
.setId(id(1))
.setVectors(vectors(0.05f, 0.61f, 0.76f, 0.74f))
.putAllPayload(Map.of(
"title", value("Spring Boot Documentation"),
"content", value("Spring Boot framework documentation")
))
.build(),
PointStruct.newBuilder()
.setId(id(2))
.setVectors(vectors(0.19f, 0.81f, 0.75f, 0.11f))
.putAllPayload(Map.of(
"title", value("Qdrant Vector Database"),
"content", value("Vector database for AI applications")
))
.build()
);
client.upsertAsync("search-collection", points).get();
```
### Vector Search
```java
import io.qdrant.client.grpc.Points.QueryPoints;
import io.qdrant.client.grpc.Points.ScoredPoint;
import static io.qdrant.client.QueryFactory.nearest;
import java.util.List;
// Basic similarity search
List<ScoredPoint> results = client.queryAsync(
QueryPoints.newBuilder()
.setCollectionName("search-collection")
.setLimit(5)
.setQuery(nearest(0.2f, 0.1f, 0.9f, 0.7f))
.build()
).get();
// Search with filters
List<ScoredPoint> filteredResults = client.searchAsync(
SearchPoints.newBuilder()
.setCollectionName("search-collection")
.addAllVector(List.of(0.6235f, 0.123f, 0.532f, 0.123f))
.setFilter(Filter.newBuilder()
.addMust(range("rand_number",
Range.newBuilder().setGte(3).build()))
.build())
.setLimit(5)
.build()).get();
```
## Spring Boot Integration
Integrate Qdrant with Spring Boot using dependency injection and proper configuration.
### Configuration Class
```java
import io.qdrant.client.QdrantClient;
import io.qdrant.client.QdrantGrpcClient;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
@Configuration
public class QdrantConfig {
@Value("${qdrant.host:localhost}")
private String host;
@Value("${qdrant.port:6334}")
private int port;
@Value("${qdrant.api-key:}")
private String apiKey;
@Bean
public QdrantClient qdrantClient() {
QdrantGrpcClient grpcClient = QdrantGrpcClient.newBuilder(host, port, false)
.withApiKey(apiKey)
.build();
return new QdrantClient(grpcClient);
}
}
```
### Service Layer Implementation
```java
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException;
@Service
public class VectorSearchService {
private final QdrantClient qdrantClient;
public VectorSearchService(QdrantClient qdrantClient) {
this.qdrantClient = qdrantClient;
}
public List<ScoredPoint> search(String collectionName, List<Float> queryVector) {
try {
return qdrantClient.queryAsync(
QueryPoints.newBuilder()
.setCollectionName(collectionName)
.setLimit(5)
.setQuery(nearest(queryVector))
.build()
).get();
} catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Qdrant search failed", e);
}
}
public void upsertPoints(String collectionName, List<PointStruct> points) {
try {
qdrantClient.upsertAsync(collectionName, points).get();
} catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Qdrant upsert failed", e);
}
}
}
```

```java
import dev.langchain4j.data.segment.TextSegment;
import dev.langchain4j.embedding.EmbeddingModel;
import dev.langchain4j.store.embedding.EmbeddingStore;
import dev.langchain4j.store.embedding.EmbeddingStoreIngestor;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import java.util.List;
@Service
public class RagService {
private final EmbeddingStoreIngestor ingestor;
public RagService(EmbeddingStoreIngestor ingestor) {
this.ingestor = ingestor;
}
public void ingestDocument(String text) {
TextSegment segment = TextSegment.from(text);
ingestor.ingest(segment);
}
public List<TextSegment> findRelevant(String query) {
EmbeddingStore<TextSegment> embeddingStore = ingestor.getEmbeddingStore();
return embeddingStore.findRelevant(
ingestor.getEmbeddingModel().embed(query).content(),
5,
0.7
).stream()
.map(match -> match.embedded())
.toList();
}
}
```
## Examples
### Basic Search Implementation
```java
// Create simple search endpoint
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/search")
public class SearchController {
private final VectorSearchService searchService;
public SearchController(VectorSearchService searchService) {
this.searchService = searchService;
}
@GetMapping
public List<ScoredPoint> search(@RequestParam String query) {
// Convert query to embedding (requires embedding model)
List<Float> queryVector = embeddingModel.embed(query).content().vectorAsList();
return searchService.search("documents", queryVector);
}
}
```
## Best Practices
### Vector Database Configuration
- Use appropriate distance metrics: Cosine for text, Euclidean for numerical data
- Optimize vector dimensions based on embedding model specifications
- Configure proper collection naming conventions
- Monitor performance and optimize search parameters
### Spring Boot Integration
- Always use constructor injection for dependency injection
- Handle async operations with proper exception handling
- Configure connection timeouts and retry policies
- Use proper bean configuration for production environments
### Security Considerations
- Never hardcode API keys in code
- Use environment variables or Spring configuration properties
- Implement proper authentication and authorization
- Use TLS for production connections
### Performance Optimization
- Batch operations for bulk upserts
- Use appropriate limits and filters
- Monitor memory usage and connection pooling
- Consider sharding for large datasets
## Advanced Patterns
### Multi-tenant Vector Storage
```java
// Implement collection-based multi-tenancy
public class MultiTenantVectorService {
private final QdrantClient client;
public void upsertForTenant(String tenantId, List<PointStruct> points) {
String collectionName = "tenant_" + tenantId + "_documents";
client.upsertAsync(collectionName, points).get();
}
}
```
### Hybrid Search with Filters
```java
// Combine vector similarity with metadata filtering
public List<ScoredPoint> hybridSearch(String collectionName, List<Float> queryVector,
String category, Date dateRange) {
Filter filter = Filter.newBuilder()
.addMust(range("created_at",
Range.newBuilder().setGte(dateRange.getTime()).build()))
.addMust(exactMatch("category", category))
.build();
return client.searchAsync(
SearchPoints.newBuilder()
.setCollectionName(collectionName)
.addAllVector(queryVector)
.setFilter(filter)
.build()
).get();
}
```

}
// Collection-based multi-tenancy
public List<ScoredPoint> searchByTenant(String tenantId, List<Float> queryVector, int limit) {
try {
String collectionName = "tenant_" + tenantId + "_documents";
return client.queryAsync(
QueryPoints.newBuilder()
.setCollectionName(collectionName)
.setLimit(limit)
.addAllVector(queryVector)
.setWithPayload(true)
.build()
).get();
} catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Multi-tenant search failed", e);
}
}
public void upsertForTenant(String tenantId, List<PointStruct> points) {
try {
String collectionName = "tenant_" + tenantId + "_documents";
client.upsertAsync(collectionName, points).get();
} catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Multi-tenant upsert failed", e);
}
}
// Hybrid search with tenant-specific filters
public List<ScoredPoint> hybridSearch(String tenantId, List<Float> queryVector,
String category, int limit) {
try {
String collectionName = "tenant_" + tenantId + "_documents";
QueryPoints.Builder queryBuilder = QueryPoints.newBuilder()
.setCollectionName(collectionName)
.setLimit(limit)
.addAllVector(queryVector);
// Add category filter if provided
if (category != null && !category.isEmpty()) {
queryBuilder.setFilter(Filter.newBuilder()
.addMust(exactMatch("category", category))
.build());
}
return client.queryAsync(queryBuilder.build()).get();
} catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Hybrid search failed", e);
}
}
}
```
## Deployment and Configuration
### Docker Compose Setup

qdrant:
image: qdrant/qdrant:v1.7.0
ports:
- "6333:6333"
- "6334:6334"
volumes:
- qdrant_storage:/qdrant/storage
environment:
- QDRANT__SERVICE__HTTP_PORT=6333
- QDRANT__SERVICE__GRPC_PORT=6334
volumes:
qdrant_storage:
```
### Production Configuration
```properties
# application-prod.properties
qdrant.host=qdrant-service
qdrant.port=6334
qdrant.api-key=${QDRANT_API_KEY}
# Enable HTTPS for production
server.ssl.enabled=true
server.ssl.key-store=classpath:keystore.p12
server.ssl.key-store-password=${SSL_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD}
# OpenAI Configuration
openai.api-key=${OPENAI_API_KEY}
# Logging

logging.level.io.qdrant=INFO
```
## Testing Strategy
### Unit Tests for Vector Service
```java
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
import java.util.List;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.*;
@SpringBootTest
public class VectorSearchServiceTest {
@Autowired
private VectorSearchService vectorSearchService;
@Test
public void testCollectionInitialization() {
// Test that collection is created properly
// This could involve checking collection metadata
}
@Test
public void testDocumentUpsert() {
// Test document insertion and retrieval
}
@Test
public void testSearchFunctionality() {
// Test vector search functionality
}
}
```

<artifactId>client</artifactId>
<version>1.15.0</version>
</dependency>
```
**Gradle:**
```gradle
implementation 'io.qdrant:client:1.15.0'
```
### Client Initialization
```java
// Basic client
QdrantClient client = new QdrantClient(
QdrantGrpcClient.newBuilder("localhost").build());
// Advanced client with TLS and API key
ManagedChannel channel = Grpc.newChannelBuilder(
"localhost:6334",
TlsChannelCredentials.newBuilder()
.trustManager(new File("ssl/ca.crt"))
.build()).build();
QdrantClient client = new QdrantClient(
QdrantGrpcClient.newBuilder(channel)
.withApiKey("<apikey>")
.build());
```
### Collection Management
```java
// Create collection
client.createCollectionAsync("my_collection",
VectorParams.newBuilder()
.setDistance(Distance.Cosine)
.setSize(4)
.build()).get();
// Create collection with configuration
client.createCollectionAsync("my_collection",
VectorParams.newBuilder()
.setDistance(Distance.Cosine)
.setSize(384)
.build())
.get();
```
### Point Operations
```java
// Insert points
List<PointStruct> points = List.of(
PointStruct.newBuilder()
.setId(id(1))
.setVectors(vectors(0.32f, 0.52f, 0.21f, 0.52f))
.putAllPayload(Map.of("color", value("red")))
.build()
);
UpdateResult result = client.upsertAsync("my_collection", points).get();
```
### Search Operations
```java
// Simple search
List<ScoredPoint> results = client.searchAsync(
SearchPoints.newBuilder()
.setCollectionName("my_collection")
.addAllVector(List.of(0.6235f, 0.123f, 0.532f, 0.123f))
.setLimit(5)
.build()).get();
// Filtered search
List<ScoredPoint> filteredResults = client.searchAsync(
SearchPoints.newBuilder()
.setCollectionName("my_collection")
.addAllVector(List.of(0.6235f, 0.123f, 0.532f, 0.123f))
.setFilter(Filter.newBuilder()
.addMust(range("rand_number",
Range.newBuilder().setGte(3).build()))
.build())
.setLimit(5)
.build()).get();
```
