## Nexus Operation Backed by a Standalone Activity

> [!WARNING]
> Standalone Nexus operations and standalone Activities are experimental and may be subject to
> backwards-incompatible changes. They require a Temporal server that implements and enables them
> via the dynamic configs shown below. Use the dev server build at
> https://github.com/temporalio/cli/releases/tag/v1.7.4-standalone-nexus-operations.

This sample shows how to implement a Nexus operation whose backing execution is a **standalone
Activity**. `TemporalOperationHandler` maps the Temporal execution onto the Nexus operation:
starting the operation starts the Activity, and when the Activity finishes Temporal delivers its
result to the Nexus caller.

### Sample structure

| File | Purpose |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---|
| [`service/GreetingNexusService.java`](./service/GreetingNexusService.java) | Nexus service definition shared by caller and handler |
| [`handler/GreetingActivityImpl.java`](./handler/GreetingActivityImpl.java) | The standalone Activity backing the operation |
| [`handler/GreetingNexusServiceImpl.java`](./handler/GreetingNexusServiceImpl.java) | Operation implementation, via `TemporalOperationHandler.create` and `startActivity` |
| [`handler/HandlerWorker.java`](./handler/HandlerWorker.java) | Worker hosting the Nexus handler and the Activity |
| [`ClientStarter.java`](./ClientStarter.java) | Executes the Nexus operation from client code |

The starter and worker connect to two different namespaces (a "caller" namespace and a "handler"
namespace) — this mirrors how Nexus is typically used to cross namespace boundaries. The client is
configured via the SDK's [environment configuration](https://docs.temporal.io/develop/environment-configuration)
support (`ClientConfigProfile.load()`), which reads `TEMPORAL_NAMESPACE`, `TEMPORAL_ADDRESS`, etc.
from the environment (and optionally a profile from `temporal.toml`).

### Run locally against a dev server

1. Start the [Temporal dev server build that supports standalone Nexus operations](https://docs.temporal.io/standalone-nexus-operation#temporal-cli-support)
with the required namespaces pre-created and Activity callbacks enabled:

```bash
./temporal server start-dev \
--dynamic-config-value activity.enableCallbacks=true \
--namespace my-caller-namespace \
--namespace my-handler-namespace
```

2. Create a Nexus endpoint that routes to the handler namespace and the worker's task queue:

```bash
./temporal operator nexus endpoint create \
--name my-nexus-endpoint \
--target-namespace my-handler-namespace \
--target-task-queue nexus-handler-queue
```

3. In a second terminal, start the handler worker in the handler namespace:

```bash
TEMPORAL_NAMESPACE=my-handler-namespace \
./gradlew -q :core:execute -PmainClass=io.temporal.samples.nexusstandaloneactivity.handler.HandlerWorker
```

4. In a third terminal, run the starter in the caller namespace:

```bash
TEMPORAL_NAMESPACE=my-caller-namespace \
./gradlew -q :core:execute -PmainClass=io.temporal.samples.nexusstandaloneactivity.ClientStarter
```

Expected output:

```text
Hello, World!
```

### Run against Temporal Cloud

I'm not sure we should include the Temporal Cloud instructions. AFAIK other samples don't have these.

The Nexus standalone operation includes Temporal Cloud instructions, but I can remove this if it's not needed.


1. Create two namespaces in Temporal Cloud (for example `my-caller-namespace.<account>` and
`my-handler-namespace.<account>`) and generate an API key (or mTLS cert) that can access both.

2. Create a Nexus endpoint that targets the handler namespace and the worker's task queue. See the
Temporal Cloud instructions at https://docs.temporal.io/nexus/registry#create-a-nexus-endpoint.
Use:
- Endpoint name: `my-nexus-endpoint`
- Target namespace: `my-handler-namespace.<account>`
- Target task queue: `nexus-handler-queue`
- Allowed caller namespaces: include `my-caller-namespace.<account>` (endpoints reject callers
that are not on this list)

3. Add two profiles to your [environment configuration file](https://docs.temporal.io/develop/environment-configuration),
one per namespace. Using API keys:

```toml
[profile.handler]
address = "<region>.<cloud>.api.temporal.io:7233"
namespace = "my-handler-namespace.<account>"
api_key = "<your-api-key>"

[profile.caller]
address = "<region>.<cloud>.api.temporal.io:7233"
namespace = "my-caller-namespace.<account>"
api_key = "<your-api-key>"
```

For mTLS instead of API keys, set `tls.client_cert_path` and `tls.client_key_path` on each profile
(see the [docs](https://docs.temporal.io/develop/environment-configuration) for the full schema).

4. Run the worker and starter in separate terminals, selecting the appropriate profile in each:

```bash
# terminal 1 (worker, handler namespace)
TEMPORAL_PROFILE=handler \
./gradlew -q :core:execute -PmainClass=io.temporal.samples.nexusstandaloneactivity.handler.HandlerWorker
```

```bash
# terminal 2 (starter, caller namespace)
TEMPORAL_PROFILE=caller \
./gradlew -q :core:execute -PmainClass=io.temporal.samples.nexusstandaloneactivity.ClientStarter
```
