# Paddle Serving Client Java SDK
([简体中文](JAVA_SDK_CN.md)|English)
Paddle Serving provides Java SDK,which supports predict on the Client side with Java language. This document shows how to use the Java SDK.
## Getting started
### Prerequisites
```
- Java 8 or higher
- Apache Maven
```
The following table shows compatibilities between Paddle Serving Server and Java SDK.
| Paddle Serving Server version | Java SDK version |
| :---------------------------: | :--------------: |
| 0.3.2 | 0.0.1 |
### Install Java SDK
You can download jar and install it to the local Maven repository:
```shell
wget https://paddle-serving.bj.bcebos.com/jar/paddle-serving-sdk-java-0.0.1.jar
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=$PWD/paddle-serving-sdk-java-0.0.1.jar -DgroupId=io.paddle.serving.client -DartifactId=paddle-serving-sdk-java -Dversion=0.0.1 -Dpackaging=jar
```
Or compile from the source code and install it to the local Maven repository:
```shell
cd Serving/java
mvn compile
mvn install
```
### Maven configure
```text
io.paddle.serving.client
paddle-serving-sdk-java
0.0.1
```
## Example
Here we will show how to use Java SDK for Boston house price prediction. Please refer to [examples](../java/examples) folder for more examples.
### Get model
```shell
wget --no-check-certificate https://paddle-serving.bj.bcebos.com/uci_housing.tar.gz
tar -xzf uci_housing.tar.gz
```
### Start Python Server
```shell
python -m paddle_serving_server.serve --model uci_housing_model --port 9393 --use_multilang
```
#### Client side code example
```java
import io.paddle.serving.client.*;
import org.nd4j.linalg.api.ndarray.INDArray;
import org.nd4j.linalg.factory.Nd4j;
import java.util.*;
public class PaddleServingClientExample {
public static void main( String[] args ) {
float[] data = {0.0137f, -0.1136f, 0.2553f, -0.0692f,
0.0582f, -0.0727f, -0.1583f, -0.0584f,
0.6283f, 0.4919f, 0.1856f, 0.0795f, -0.0332f};
INDArray npdata = Nd4j.createFromArray(data);
HashMap feed_data
= new HashMap() {{
put("x", npdata);
}};
List fetch = Arrays.asList("price");
Client client = new Client();
String target = "localhost:9393";
boolean succ = client.connect(target);
if (succ != true) {
System.out.println("connect failed.");
return ;
}
Map fetch_map = client.predict(feed_data, fetch);
if (fetch_map == null) {
System.out.println("predict failed.");
return ;
}
for (Map.Entry e : fetch_map.entrySet()) {
System.out.println("Key = " + e.getKey() + ", Value = " + e.getValue());
}
return ;
}
}
```
