SAP Cloud Application Programming Model - AI Plugins for Java

About this project

This repository contains a collection of AI plugins for CAP Java applications, leveraging SAP AI Core and the SAP-RPT-1 foundation model.

Plugins

Module	Description
cds-feature-ai-core	Bridges CAP Java to SAP AI Core - resource group management, deployment lifecycle, configuration CRUD, and prediction API
cds-feature-recommendations	AI-powered field recommendations for Fiori UIs in draft-enabled entities

Starter

For the simplest setup, add the cds-starter-ai dependency which bundles both plugins:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sap.cds</groupId>
    <artifactId>cds-starter-ai</artifactId>
    <version>${cds-ai.version}</version>
</dependency>

"dependencies": {
    "@cap-js/ai": "^1"
}

Prerequisites

• Java 17+
• CAP Java 4.9+
• Node.js 20+ with @sap/cds-dk 9+ (for CDS build tooling)
• An SAP AI Core service binding (for production use)

Without an AI Core binding the plugins fall back to mock implementations for local development.

Samples

In samples/bookshop you can find a complete CAP Java bookshop demonstrating both plugins:

mvn clean install
cd samples/bookshop
mvn spring-boot:run

Local Development

mvn clean install     # build all modules
mvn test              # run unit tests

For integration tests against a real AI Core instance:

cds bind ai-core -2 <your-ai-core-service-instance>
cds bind --exec mvn test -pl integration-tests/spring -am
