Shams Asari f30ba33929 ENT-11255: Scan attachments to determine if they are Kotlin 1.2 or later ... 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.		2024-01-22 11:31:51 +00:00
