Note, 1.35.0 doesn't yet exist, but when it does, it will be the first version that has the plugin.

| The [Temporal Spring AI integration](https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/io.temporal/temporal-spring-ai) lets you call [Spring AI](https://docs.spring.io/spring-ai/reference/) models, tools, vector stores, embeddings, and MCP servers from Temporal Workflows as durable Activities. Model calls and tool invocations are recorded in Workflow history, so they retry on failure and replay deterministically — without you having to change how you write Spring AI code. |

Test this link after we do the Java release
Bump the documented Java SDK minimum to 1.35.0 (the version where the spring-ai work landed) and add three sections that the original draft predated: - Activity options and retry behavior (#2853, #2855): defaults, the non-retryable-AI-error classification, ad-hoc forDefault(ActivityOptions), the ChatModelActivityOptions bean for configuration-driven per-model overrides, and the "default" catch-all key for compositional setups. - Provider-specific chat options (#2857): AnthropicChatOptions extended- thinking example demonstrating that subclass-specific fields survive the Activity boundary. - Media in messages (#2860): 1 MiB inline-bytes cap, URI-based alternative, io.temporal.springai.maxMediaBytes override. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Reframe the opener around Spring AI as an agent framework and the integration as making agents durable, instead of describing it mechanically as "wraps calls as Activities." Avoids overstating that "every tool" goes through an Activity — the integration explicitly supports Workflow-side tools (@SideEffectTool, plain @tool) alongside Activity and Nexus stubs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Switches six extended code samples on the spring-ai integration page from inline copies to snipsync references against samples-java markers added in temporalio/samples-java#fbae80a. Snippets pulled: - samples-java-spring-ai-chat-workflow-init - samples-java-spring-ai-activity-tool - samples-java-spring-ai-side-effect-tool - samples-java-spring-ai-plain-tool - samples-java-spring-ai-per-model-options - samples-java-spring-ai-provider-options Short single-purpose snippets (Maven dep, one-liner forDefault override, Media URI line, plugin triplet) stay inline. The daily snipsync workflow will fill the placeholders once the samples-java branch lands on master. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Now uses snipsync. Will wait on landing temporalio/samples-java#775 first, so the snippets are on |

Summary
Documents the new
temporal-spring-aimodule that landed in sdk-java#2829.docs/develop/java/integrations/spring-ai.mdxwith setup, chat model usage, tool types (Activity stubs, Nexus stubs,@SideEffectTool, plain tools), and optional vector store / embedding / MCP integrations.docs/develop/java/integrations/index.mdxto split framework integrations from AI integrations (matching the Python SDK integrations layout).docs/develop/integrations.mdx.sidebars.js.Why
The Spring AI integration just merged to master on
sdk-java. Java users following the Spring Boot path need a landing page that explains how to make Spring AI calls durable through Temporal, which tool annotations to use for determinism, and what optional features auto-configure.Checklist
