The node now sends a transaction to the verifier if any of its attachments were compiled with Kotlin 1.2 (the net.corda.node.verification.external system property has been removed). It uses kotlinx-metadata to read the Kotlin metadata in the attachment to determine this. For now this scanning is done each time the attachment is loaded from the database.
The existing external verification integration tests were converted into smoke tests so that 4.11 nodes could be involved. This required various improvements to NodeProcess.Factory. A new JAVA_8_HOME environment variable, pointing to JDK 8, is required to run these tests.
There is still some follow-up work that needs to be done:
Sending transactions from a 4.11 node to a 4.12 node works, but not the other way round. A new WireTransaction component group needs to be introduced for storing 4.12 attachments so that they can be safely ignored by 4.11 nodes, and the 4.12 node needs to be able to load both 4.11 and 4.12 versions of the same contracts CorDapp so that they can be both attached to the transaction.
Even though attachments are cached when retrieved from the database, the Kotlin metadata version should be stored in the attachments db table, rather than being scanned each time.
Finally, VerificationService was refactored into NodeVerificationSupport and can be passed into SignedTransaction.verifyInternal, instead of needing the much heavier VerifyingServiceHub. This makes it easier for internal tools to verify transactions and spawn the verifier if necessary.
Major changes due to JDK 17:
1. JDK17 JCE Provider now has built-in support for eddsas, corda uses
the bouncycastle (i2p) implementation. This PR removes the conflicting
algorithms from the built-in JCE provider.
2. JavaScript scripting has been removed from the JDK, the corda log4j config was using
scripting to conditionally output additional diagnostic info if the MDC
was populated. This PR has removed the scripting.
3. The artifactory plug-ins used are now deprecated, this PR has removed them
and uses the same code as Corda 5 for publishing to artifactory.
4. Javadoc generation has been modified to use the latest dokka plug-ins.
5. Gradle 7.6 has implemented an incredibly annoying change where transitive
dependencies are not put on the compile classpath, so that they have to be
explicitly added as dependencies to projects.
6. Mockito has been updated, which sadly meant that quite a few source files
have to changes to use the new (org.mockito.kotlin) package name. This makes
this PR appear much larger than it is.
7. A number of tests have been marked as ignored to get a green, broadly they fall
into 3 classes.
The first is related to crypto keypair tests, it appears some logic
in the JDK prefers to use the SunJCE implementation and we prefer to use
bouncycastle. I believe this issue can be fixed with better test setup.
The second group is related to our use of a method called "uncheckedCast(..)",
the purpose of this method was to get rid of the annoying unchecked cast compiler
warning that would otherwise exist. It looks like the Kotlin 1.9 compiler type
inference differs and at runtime sometimes the type it infers is "Void" which causes
an exception at runtime. The simplest solution is to use an explicit cast instead of
unchecked cast, Corda 5 have removed unchecked cast from their codebase.
The third class are a number of ActiveMQ tests which appear to have a memory leak somewhere.
* removed `.ci/dev/unit/Jenkinsfile` and
`.ci/dev/integration/Jenkinsfile` - they don't seem to be used anywhere
* switched mandatory tests to linear build - modeled after Corda
Enterprise
* switched nightly regression tests to linear build - modeled after
Corda Enterprise
* Use a virtual repo (corda-remotes) containing all Corda repositories with dependencies
* activated when CORDA_USE_CACHE environment variable is set
* Update Jenkins configuration to use new functionality
* it does *not* affect local builds as long as environment variable is not set!
