# Node

`class Node : AbstractNode`

A Node manages a standalone server that takes part in the P2P network. It creates the services found in ServiceHub, loads important data off disk and starts listening for connections.

### Parameters

`configuration` - This is typically loaded from a TypeSafe HOCON configuration file.
`networkMapAddress` - An external network map service to use. Should only ever be null when creating the first network map service, while bootstrapping a network.
`advertisedServices` - The services this node advertises. This must be a subset of the services it runs, but nodes are not required to advertise services they run (hence subset).
`clock` - The clock used within the node and by all protocols etc.

### Constructors

<init> | `Node(configuration: FullNodeConfiguration, networkMapAddress: SingleMessageRecipient?, advertisedServices: Set<ServiceInfo>, clock: Clock = NodeClock())` A Node manages a standalone server that takes part in the P2P network. It creates the services found in ServiceHub, loads important data off disk and starts listening for connections.

### Functions

initialiseDatabasePersistence | `fun initialiseDatabasePersistence(insideTransaction: () -> Unit): Unit` If the node is persisting to an embedded H2 database, then expose this via TCP with a JDBC URL of the form: jdbc:h2:tcp://:/node with username and password as per the DataSource connection details. The key element to enabling this support is to ensure that you specify a JDBC connection URL of the form jdbc:h2:file: in the node config and that you include the H2 option AUTO_SERVER_PORT set to the port you desire to use (0 will give a dynamically allocated port number) but exclude the H2 option AUTO_SERVER=TRUE. This is not using the H2 "automatic mixed mode" directly but leans on many of the underpinnings. For more details on H2 URLs and configuration see: http://www.h2database.com/html/features.html#database_url
makeMessagingService | `fun makeMessagingService(): MessagingServiceInternal`
makeUniquenessProvider | `fun makeUniquenessProvider(): PersistentUniquenessProvider`
run | `fun run(): Unit` Starts a blocking event loop for message dispatch.
setup | `fun setup(): Node` Run any tasks that are needed to ensure the node is in a correct state before running start().
start | `fun start(): Node`
startMessagingService | `fun startMessagingService(cordaRPCOps: CordaRPCOps?): Unit`
stop | `fun stop(): Unit`

### Inherited Functions

createNodeDir | `fun createNodeDir(): Unit`
findMyLocation | `open fun findMyLocation(): PhysicalLocation?`
findService | `fun <T : Any> findService(): <ERROR CLASS>` Locates and returns a service of the given type if loaded, or throws an exception if not found.
