* Remove progress Observable from FlowHandle, unless explicitly requested. * Refactor FlowHandle creation into FlowStateMachine. * Prevent server-side queue subscription for dummy Observable. * Refactor so that RPC client does not receive any unused progress Observables. This is the simplest way of ensuring we have no dangling "hot" Observables when the RPC client closes. * Test flow has correct handle. * Resolve some compiler warnings. * Document how starting a flow does not involve progress tracking by default. * Update changelog and release notes for RPC API. * Rename new RPC API to startTrackedFlow(). * Remove optimisation because of its affect on the client-side. * Update documentation.
Node Explorer
The node explorer provides views of the node's vault and transaction data using Corda's RPC framework. The user can execute cash transaction commands to issue and move cash to other parties on the network or exit cash using the user interface.
Running the UI
Windows:
gradlew.bat tools:explorer:run
Other:
./gradlew tools:explorer:run
Running Demo Nodes
A demonstration Corda network topology is configured with 5 nodes playing the following roles:
- Notary
- Issuer nodes (representing two fictional central banks - UK Bank Plc issuer of GBP and USA Bank Corp issuer of USD)
- Participant nodes (representing two users - Alice and Bob)
The Issuer nodes have the ability to issue, move and exit cash amounts. The Participant nodes are only able to spend cash (eg. move cash).
Windows:
gradlew.bat tools:explorer:runDemoNodes
Other:
./gradlew tools:explorer:runDemoNodes
These Corda nodes will be created on the following port on localhost.
- Notary -> 20003 (Does not accept logins)
- Alice -> 20006
- Bob -> 20009
- UK Bank Plc -> 20012 (Issuer node)
- USA Bank Corp -> 20015 (Issuer node)
Explorer login credentials to the Issuer nodes are defaulted to manager and test.
Explorer login credentials to the Participants nodes are defaulted to user1 and test.
Please note you are not allowed to login to the notary.
TODOs:
- Shows more useful information in the dashboard.
- Improve Network View, display other nodes in the world map and show transactions between them.
- Add a new view showing node's state machines.
- Link transaction input to its originated transaction to make it easier to trace back.
- Shows Node information (Configuration, properties etc.) in Settings view.
- Support other contract types.
