Service Description: Session service provides APIs for interacting with CES agents.
This class provides the ability to make remote calls to the backing service through method calls that map to API methods. Sample code to get started:
// This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
// It will require modifications to work:
// - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
// - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
// https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
try (SessionServiceClient sessionServiceClient = SessionServiceClient.create()) {
RunSessionRequest request =
RunSessionRequest.newBuilder()
.setConfig(SessionConfig.newBuilder().build())
.addAllInputs(new ArrayList<SessionInput>())
.build();
RunSessionResponse response = sessionServiceClient.runSession(request);
}
Note: close() needs to be called on the SessionServiceClient object to clean up resources such as threads. In the example above, try-with-resources is used, which automatically calls close().
| Method | Description | Method Variants |
|---|---|---|
RunSession |
Initiates a single turn interaction with the CES agent within a session. |
Request object method variants only take one parameter, a request object, which must be constructed before the call.
Callable method variants take no parameters and return an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service.
|
BidiRunSession |
Establishes a bidirectional streaming connection with the CES agent. The agent processes continuous multimodal inputs (e.g., text, audio) and generates real-time multimodal output streams. --- Client Request Stream --- The client streams requests in the following order: 1. Initialization: The first message must contain SessionConfig. For audio sessions, this should also include InputAudioConfig and OutputAudioConfig to define audio processing and synthesis parameters. 2. Interaction: Subsequent messages stream SessionInput containing real-time user input data. 3. Termination: The client should half-close the stream when there is no more user input. It should also half-close upon receiving EndSession or GoAway from the agent. --- Server Response Stream --- For each interaction turn, the agent streams messages in the following sequence: 1. Speech Recognition (First N messages): Contains RecognitionResult representing the concatenated user speech segments captured so far. This is only populated for audio sessions. 2. Response (Next M messages): Contains SessionOutput delivering the agent's response in various modalities (e.g., text, audio). 3. Turn Completion (Final message of the turn): Contains SessionOutput with turn_completed set to true. This signals the end of the current turn and includes DiagnosticInfo with execution details. --- Audio Best Practices --- 1. Streaming: Stream audio data **CONTINUOUSLY**, even during silence. Recommended chunk size: 40-120ms (balances latency vs. efficiency). 2. Playback & Interruption: Play audio responses upon receipt. Stop playback immediately if an InterruptionSignal is received (e.g., user barge-in or new agent response). |
Callable method variants take no parameters and return an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service.
|
ListLocations |
Lists information about the supported locations for this service.This method can be called in two ways: * **List all public locations:** Use the path |
Request object method variants only take one parameter, a request object, which must be constructed before the call.
Callable method variants take no parameters and return an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service.

GetLocation |
Gets information about a location. |
Request object method variants only take one parameter, a request object, which must be constructed before the call.
Callable method variants take no parameters and return an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service.

See the individual methods for example code.
Many parameters require resource names to be formatted in a particular way. To assist with these names, this class includes a format method for each type of name, and additionally a parse method to extract the individual identifiers contained within names that are returned.
This class can be customized by passing in a custom instance of SessionServiceSettings to create(). For example:
To customize credentials:
// This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
// It will require modifications to work:
// - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
// - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
// https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
SessionServiceSettings sessionServiceSettings =
SessionServiceSettings.newBuilder()
.setCredentialsProvider(FixedCredentialsProvider.create(myCredentials))
.build();
SessionServiceClient sessionServiceClient = SessionServiceClient.create(sessionServiceSettings);
To customize the endpoint:
// This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
// It will require modifications to work:
// - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
// - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
// https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
SessionServiceSettings sessionServiceSettings =
SessionServiceSettings.newBuilder().setEndpoint(myEndpoint).build();
SessionServiceClient sessionServiceClient = SessionServiceClient.create(sessionServiceSettings);
To use REST (HTTP1.1/JSON) transport (instead of gRPC) for sending and receiving requests over the wire:
// This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
// It will require modifications to work:
// - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
// - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
// https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
SessionServiceSettings sessionServiceSettings =
SessionServiceSettings.newHttpJsonBuilder().build();
SessionServiceClient sessionServiceClient = SessionServiceClient.create(sessionServiceSettings);
