Java Meets AI: Empowering Spring Developers to Build Intelligent Apps
summary
Claims enterprise Java is ready for generative AI and shows concrete code: a working recipe finder demo that uses GPT‑4o for text, Dolly 3 for images, Spring Boot starters and autoconfiguration, templating, and image bytes returned to the app. It wires embeddings + vector DB + Apache PDF parsing for retrieve‑then‑generate RAG, and implements function/tool calling. Compares LangChain4J (framework‑agnostic, faster innovation, good agent patterns) with Spring AI (deep Spring integration, MCP server support, production readiness for Spring developers).
