Azure IoT Digital Twins client library for Java - version 1.3.25

Artikel
10/28/2024

This library provides access to the Azure Digital Twins service for managing twins, models, relationships, etc.

Getting started

The complete Microsoft Azure SDK can be downloaded from the Microsoft Azure downloads page, and it ships with support for building deployment packages, integrating with tooling, rich command line tooling, and more.

For the best development experience, developers should use the official Microsoft Maven packages for libraries. Maven packages are regularly updated with new functionality and hotfixes.

Include the Package

Include the BOM file

Please include the azure-sdk-bom to your project to take dependency on GA version of the library. In the following snippet, replace the {bom_version_to_target} placeholder with the version number. To learn more about the BOM, see the AZURE SDK BOM README.

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
            <artifactId>azure-sdk-bom</artifactId>
            <version>{bom_version_to_target}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

and then include the direct dependency in the dependencies section without the version tag.

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-digitaltwins-core</artifactId>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Include direct dependency

If you want to take dependency on a particular version of the library that is not present in the BOM, add the direct dependency to your project as follows.

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
  <artifactId>azure-digitaltwins-core</artifactId>
  <version>1.3.25</version>
</dependency>

Prerequisites

A Microsoft Azure Subscription
- To call Microsoft Azure services, create an Azure subscription.
An Azure Digital Twins instance
- In order to use the Azure Digital Twins SDK, first create a Digital Twins instance using one of options:
  - Using Azure portal
  - Using Azure Management APIs
  - Using Azure CLI
    - You will need to install azure cli and the Azure IoT extension for Azure CLI.
    - Refer to IoT CLI documentation for more information on how to create and interact with your Digital Twins instance.

Authenticate the Client

In order to interact with the Azure Digital Twins service, you will need to create an instance of a TokenCredential class and pass it to the constructor of your DigitalTwinsClientBuilder.

Key concepts

Azure Digital Twins is an Azure IoT service that creates comprehensive models of the physical environment. It can create spatial intelligence graphs to model the relationships and interactions between people, spaces, and devices.

You can learn more about Azure Digital Twins by visiting Azure Digital Twins Documentation

Examples

You can familiarize yourself with different APIs using samples for Digital Twins.

Source code folder structure

/src/main/java/com/azure/digitaltwins/core

The Digital Twins client builder DigitalTwinsClientBuilder
The Digital Twins public sync and async clients DigitalTwinsClient, DigitalTwinsAsyncClient
models package

Portions of the client library are generated through Autorest, and the swagger file used is defined in the Autorest config file.

To regenerate the code, run the Powershell script generate.ps1.

/src/samples

This directory contains sample code that demonstrates basic usage of this client library. For additional information, see the sample readme

Troubleshooting

All service operations will throw ErrorResponseException on failure reported by the service, with helpful error codes and other information.

For example, use the getModel operation to check if the model exists before creating it.

try {
    syncClient.getModel("someRandomModelId");
}
catch (ErrorResponseException ex) {
    if (ex.getResponse().getStatusCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_NOT_FOUND) {
        return id;
    } else {
        // This request should not retried if it encounters a 401 error, for instance
        throw new IllegalStateException("Encountered unexpected error while searching for unique id", ex);
    }
}
