Azure AI Projects Java

Azure AI Projects SDK for Java

High-level SDK for Azure AI Foundry project management with access to connections, datasets, indexes, and evaluations.

Installation

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-ai-projects</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-beta.1</version>
</dependency>

Enprojectnment Variables

PROJECT_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/<project>

Authentication

import com.azure.ai.projects.AIProjectClientBuilder;
import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder;

AIProjectClientBuilder builder = new AIProjectClientBuilder()
    .endpoint(System.getenv("PROJECT_ENDPOINT"))
    .credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build());

Client Hierarchy

The SDK provides multiple sub-clients for different operations:

// Build sub-clients from builder
ConnectionsClient connectionsClient = builder.buildConnectionsClient();
DatasetsClient datasetsClient = builder.buildDatasetsClient();
DeploymentsClient deploymentsClient = builder.buildDeploymentsClient();
IndexesClient indexesClient = builder.buildIndexesClient();
EvaluationsClient evaluationsClient = builder.buildEvaluationsClient();

Core Operations

List Connections

import com.azure.ai.projects.models.Connection;
import com.azure.core.http.rest.PagedIterable;

PagedIterable<Connection> connections = connectionsClient.listConnections();
for (Connection connection : connections) {
    System.out.println("Name: " + connection.getName());
    System.out.println("Type: " + connection.getType());
    System.out.println("Credential Type: " + connection.getCredentials().getType());
}

List Indexes

indexesClient.listLatest().forEach(index -> {
    System.out.println("Index name: " + index.getName());
    System.out.println("Version: " + index.getVersion());
    System.out.println("Description: " + index.getDescription());
});

Create or Update Index

import com.azure.ai.projects.models.AzureAISearchIndex;
import com.azure.ai.projects.models.Index;

String indexName = "my-index";
String indexVersion = "1.0";
String searchConnectionName = System.getenv("AI_SEARCH_CONNECTION_NAME");
String searchIndexName = System.getenv("AI_SEARCH_INDEX_NAME");

Index index = indexesClient.createOrUpdate(
    indexName,
    indexVersion,
    new AzureAISearchIndex()
        .setConnectionName(searchConnectionName)
        .setIndexName(searchIndexName)
);

System.out.println("Created index: " + index.getName());

Access OpenAI Evaluations

The SDK exposes OpenAI's official SDK for evaluations:

import com.openai.services.EvalService;

EvalService evalService = evaluationsClient.getOpenAIClient();
// Use OpenAI evaluation APIs directly

Best Practices

1. Use DefaultAzureCredential for production authentication
2. Reuse client builder to create multiple sub-clients efficiently
3. Handle pagination when listing resources with PagedIterable
4. Use enprojectnment variables for connection names and configuration
5. Check connection types before accessing credentials

Error Handling

import com.azure.core.exception.HttpResponseException;
import com.azure.core.exception.ResourceNotFoundException;

try {
    Index index = indexesClient.get(indexName, version);
} catch (ResourceNotFoundException e) {
    System.err.println("Index not found: " + indexName);
} catch (HttpResponseException e) {
    System.err.println("Error: " + e.getResponse().getStatusCode());
}

When to Use

This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for enprojectnment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
