This requires Kotlin 1.2 versions of core and serialization (core-1.2 and serialization-1.2 respectively), which are just "shell" modules and which compile the existing source code with Kotlin 1.2. The 1.2 plugin does not work with the current version of Gradle and so the 1.2 compiler has to be called directly.
Now with two versions of Kotlin in the code base, each module needs to have its version manually specified to ensure a clean separation. Otherwise, the default Kotlin version can override 1.2 when needed.
Some of the code was tidied-up or improved to enable it to be cross-compiled. For post-1.2 APIs being used, they have been copied into core-1.2 with the same method signatures. OpenTelemetryComponent was moved to node-api, along with the dependency, to avoid also having a 1.2 version for the opentelemetry module.
* Reference tiny contract-states jar (do this also gets deployed to node cordapps)
* Update artifact publishing.
* Add explicit compileKotlin pendency to sub-project shrink task.
* ENT-11270: Un-ignored new tests as newer JDK adds more details.
Newer JDK adds the line position as well along exception message string, this makes the actual as:
line too long (line 1)
instead of: line too long
So, error is still thrown but the message contains a little more detail in the newer JDK.
Hence, changing equals to contains.
* ENT-11055: Basic external verification
Introduction of the external transaction verifier, a separate JVM process for verifying `SignedTransaction`s. The end goal is for this verifier to be built with Kotlin 1.2 so that it creates a compatible verification environment for transactions with 4.11 contracts. For now however the verifier is built against Kotlin 1.8, same as the node.
External verification is enabled when the the system property `net.corda.node.verification.external` is set to `true`. When enabled, all verification requests made via `SignedTransaction.verify` are sent to the external verifier, regardless of the transaction content. It will do the vast bulk of the verification and then send the result back, namely if an exception occurred. If it did, then it's re-thrown in the node.
The external verifier is a stateless process, with no connection to the node's database. All transaction resolution information needed to create the relevant ledger transaction object are made to the node, which waits in a loop servicing these requests until it receives the result. The verifier Jar is embedded in the Corda node Jar, and is extracted and run when needed for the first time. The node opens up a local port for the verifier to communicate with, which is specified to the verifier in the process command line. This all means there is no extra configuration or deployment required to support external verification.
The existing code had some initial attempts and abstractions to support a future external verification feature. However,
they were either incorrect or didn't quite fit. One such example was `TransactionVerifierService`. It incorrectly operated on the `LedgerTransaction` level, which doesn't work since the transaction needs to be first serialised. Instead a new abstraction, `VerificationSupport` has been introduced, which represents all the operations needed to resolve and verify a `SignedTransaction`, essentially replacing `ServicesForResolution` (a lot of the changes are due to this). The external verifier implements this with a simple RPC mechanism, whilst the node needed a new (internal) `ServiceHub` abstraction, `VerifyingServiceHub`. `ServicesForResolution` hasn't been deleted since it's public API, however all classes implementing it must also implement `VerifyingServiceHub`. This is possible to do without breaking compatibility since `ServicesForResolution` is annotated with `@DoNotImplement`.
Changes to `api-current.txt` were made due to the removal of `TransactionVerifierService`, which was clearly indicated as an internal class, and returning `TransactionBuilder.toLedgerTransactionWithContext` back to an internal method.
* Address review comments
* One bulk load states method
* Merge fix
* Updated mockito version and removed ignored annotation to relevant test cases
* Updated mockito version and removed ignored annotation to relevant test cases
Replaced usage of `@Test.expected` annotation parameter with more specific exception assertions. This is also needed to migrate away from the explicit timeouts in every tests.
