Quarkus + DJL Demo

This project uses Quarkus, the Supersonic Subatomic Java Framework.

If you want to learn more about Quarkus, please visit its website: https://quarkus.io/ .

Note: Tested with GraalVM 20.1.0 on Mac (https://www.graalvm.org/docs/reference-manual/native-image/) Note: Error remains with Native executable (see below)

Running the application in dev mode

You can run your application in dev mode that enables live coding using:

./mvnw quarkus:dev

Test REST API using curl command:

curl localhost:8080/detect

You will see following results:

[
    class: "n02123045 tabby, tabby cat", probability: 0.59030
    class: "n02124075 Egyptian cat", probability: 0.22663
    class: "n02123159 tiger cat", probability: 0.10025
    class: "n02127052 lynx, catamount", probability: 0.06752
    class: "n02129604 tiger, Panthera tigris", probability: 0.00907
]

Packaging and running the application

The application can be packaged using ./mvnw package. It produces the imageclassification-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner.jar file in the /target directory. Be aware that it’s not an über-jar as the dependencies are copied into the target/lib directory.

The application is now runnable using java -jar target/imageclassification-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner.jar.

Creating a native executable

You can create a native executable using:

# use PyTorch engine
./mvnw clean package -Pnative -Ppytorch

# use TensorFlow engine
./mvnw clean package -Pnative -Ptensorflow

Or, if you don't have GraalVM installed, you can run the native executable build in a container using:

./mvnw clean package -Pnative -Ppytorch -Dquarkus.native.container-build=true

You can then execute your native executable with:

target/imageclassification-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner

# Turn on tensorflow javacpp debug log 
target/imageclassification-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner -Dorg.bytedeco.javacpp.logger.debug=true
