EventStoreDB Client SDK for Java

EventStoreDB is the event-native database, where business events are immutably stored and streamed. Designed for event-sourced, event-driven, and microservices architectures.

This repository contains an EventStoreDB Client SDK written in Java for use with languages on the JVM. It is compatible with Java 8 and above.

Note: This client is currently under active development and further API changes are expected. Feedback is very welcome.

Documentation

• General documentation can be found in Event Store GRPC Docs.
• The latest stable version Javadoc can be found here: https://eventstore.github.io/EventStoreDB-Client-Java

Access to binaries

EventStore Ltd publishes GA (general availability) versions to Maven Central.

Snapshot versions

Snapshot versions are pushed on Sonatype Snapshots Repository every time a pull request is merged in the main branch trunk. The snippet below shows how to use the Sonatype Snapshots Repository using the Gradle build tool.

repositories {
    ...
    maven {
        url uri('https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots')
    }
    ...
}

Developing

The SDK is built using Gradle. Integration tests run against a server using Docker, with the EventStoreDB gRPC Client Test Container.

Run tests

Tests are written using TestContainers and require Docker to be installed.

Specific docker images can be specified via the enviroment variable EVENTSTORE_IMAGE.

Open Telemetry

Tracing is the only telemetry currently exported, specifically for the Append and Subscribe (Catchup and Persistent) operations.

For more information about Open Telemetry, refer to the official documentation.

EventStoreDB Server Compatibility

This client is compatible with version 20.6.1 upwards.

Server setup instructions can be found in the docs, follow the docker setup for the simplest configuration.

Example

The following snippet showcases a simple example where we form a connection, then write and read events from the server.

Note: If testing locally using --insecure the url should be esdb://localhost:2113?tls=false.

class AccountCreated {
    private UUID id;
    private String login;

    public UUID getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public String getLogin() {
        return login;
    }

    public void setId(UUID id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public void setLogin(String login) {
        this.login = login;
    }
}

import com.eventstore.dbclient.EventStoreDBClient;
import com.eventstore.dbclient.EventStoreDBClientSettings;
import com.eventstore.dbclient.EventStoreDBConnectionString;
import com.eventstore.dbclient.EventData;
import com.eventstore.dbclient.ReadStreamOptions;
import com.eventstore.dbclient.ResolvedEvent;
import com.eventstore.dbclient.WriteResult;
import com.eventstore.dbclient.ReadResult;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        EventStoreDBClientSettings setts = EventStoreDBConnectionString.parseOrThrow("esdb://localhost:2113");
        EventStoreDBClient client = EventStoreDBClient.create(setts);

        AccountCreated createdEvent = new AccountCreated();

        createdEvent.setId(UUID.randomUUID());
        createdEvent.setLogin("ouros");

        EventData event = EventData
                .builderAsJson("account-created", createdEvent)
                .build();

        WriteResult writeResult = client
                .appendToStream("accounts", event)
                .get();

        ReadStreamOptions readStreamOptions = ReadStreamOptions.get()
                .fromStart()
                .notResolveLinkTos();

        ReadResult readResult = client
                .readStream("accounts", 1, readStreamOptions)
                .get();

        ResolvedEvent resolvedEvent = readResult
                .getEvents()
                .get(0);

        AccountCreated writtenEvent = resolvedEvent.getOriginalEvent()
                .getEventDataAs(AccountCreated.class);

        // Doing something productive...
    }
}

Projections

This client currently supports creating and getting the result of a continuous projection.

Create a projection:

EventStoreDbClientSettings setts = EventStoreDBConnectionString.parseOrThrow("esdb://localhost:2113");
EventStoreDBProjectionManagementClient client = EventStoreDBProjectionManagementClient.create(setts);

client
    .createContinuous(PROJECTION_NAME, PROJECTION_JS)
    .get();

Define a class in which to deserialize the result:

public class CountResult {

    private int count;

    public int getCount() {
        return count;
    }

    public void setCount(final int count) {
        this.count = count;
    }
}

Get the result:

CountResult result = client
    .getResult(PROJECTION_NAME, CountResult.class)
    .get();

For further details please see the projection management tests.
