TabForge AI: a complete platform for building Java Web + AI apps

Modern AI UX — chat panels, tool-calling agents, assistants that remember context and even suggest your next step — has lived in JavaScript SaaS for years. The Java enterprise stack has been left doing it the hard way. TabForge AI closes that gap . It's a complete platform for building AI-powered web apps on Jakarta EE + PrimeFaces — from the multi-tab UI shell down to a clean, provider-agnostic AI layer. Library, live demo, starter project, and a drop-in UI template — all shipped. Here's the whole thing, top to bottom. ## 1. Tabs as annotated beans — DynTabs You describe a tab; the framework handles opening, closing, lifecycle, and state. Each open tab gets its own isolated CDI bean via a custom @TabScoped scope. @Named @TabScoped @DynTab ( name = "OrdersDynTab" , uniqueIdentifier = "Orders" , title = "Orders" , includePage = "/WEB-INF/orders.xhtml" , trackActivity = true ) public class OrdersBean extends BaseDyntabCdiBean { // open the same tab twice → two independent instances } java No manual navigation, no page-state juggling. Open a tab, get a bean; close it, it's gone. A clean AI layer — EasyAI One fluent entry point over LangChain4j. Chat, tools, agents, and structured extraction — provider-agnostic, so the model behind it is a config detail. // A typed assistant with a business service exposed as tools OrdersAssistant ai = EasyAI . assistant ( OrdersAssistant . class ) . withTools ( orderService ) . build (); String reply = ai . ask ( "cancel order ORD-002" ); You opt methods in as tools explicitly — no accidental exposure: @EasyTool ( "Cancels an active order" ) public String cancelOrder ( String orderId ) { ... } Deterministic pipelines — flow() Agents are powerful but unpredictable. When you want a repeatable, testable process, flow() lets you own the steps and call the model only at the edges that actually need language: EasyAI . flow () . step ( "understand" , ctx -> EasyAI . extract ( OrderRequest . class ). from ( ctx . inputText ())) . step ( "check
