FinalityHandler is insecure in that it is open to receive any transaction from any party. Any CorDapp targeting platform version 4 or above is required use the new c'tors which take in FlowSession objects to the counterpart flow. This flow must subcall ReceiveFinalityFlow to receive and record the finalised transaction. Old CorDapps (with target platform version < 4) will continue to work as previously. However if there are no old CorDapps loaded then the node will disable FinalityHandler.

How to extend the state machine
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
This article explains how to extend the state machine code that underlies flow execution. It is intended for Corda
|
|
contributors.

How to add suspending operations
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To add a suspending operation for a simple request-response type function that perhaps involves some external IO we can
|
|
use the internal ``FlowAsyncOperation`` interface.
|
|
|
|
.. container:: codeset
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../../core/src/main/kotlin/net/corda/core/internal/FlowAsyncOperation.kt
|
|
:language: kotlin
|
|
:start-after: DOCSTART FlowAsyncOperation
|
|
:end-before: DOCEND FlowAsyncOperation
|
|
|
|
Let's imagine we want to add a suspending operation that takes two integers and returns their sum. To do this we
|
|
implement ``FlowAsyncOperation``:
|
|
|
|
.. container:: codeset
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/main/kotlin/net/corda/docs/kotlin/tutorial/flowstatemachines/TutorialFlowAsyncOperation.kt
|
|
:language: kotlin
|
|
:start-after: DOCSTART SummingOperation
|
|
:end-before: DOCEND SummingOperation
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/main/java/net/corda/docs/java/tutorial/flowstatemachines/SummingOperation.java
|
|
:language: java
|
|
:start-after: DOCSTART SummingOperation
|
|
:end-before: DOCEND SummingOperation
|
|
|
|
As we can see the constructor of ``SummingOperation`` takes the two numbers, and the ``execute`` function simply returns
|
|
a future that is immediately completed by the result of summing the numbers. Note how we don't use ``@Suspendable`` on
|
|
``execute``, this is because we'll never suspend inside this function, the suspension will happen before we're calling
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
Note also how the input numbers are stored in the class as fields. This is important, because in the flow's checkpoint
|
|
we'll store an instance of this class whenever we're suspending on such an operation. If the node fails or restarts
|
|
while the operation is underway this class will be deserialized from the checkpoint and ``execute`` will be called
|
|
again.
|
|
|
|
Now we can use the internal function ``executeAsync`` to execute this operation from a flow.
|
|
|
|
.. container:: codeset
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../../core/src/main/kotlin/net/corda/core/internal/FlowAsyncOperation.kt
|
|
:language: kotlin
|
|
:start-after: DOCSTART executeAsync
|
|
:end-before: DOCEND executeAsync
|
|
|
|
It simply takes a ``FlowAsyncOperation`` and an optional flag we don't care about for now. We can use this function in a
|
|
flow:
|
|
|
|
.. container:: codeset
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/main/kotlin/net/corda/docs/kotlin/tutorial/flowstatemachines/TutorialFlowAsyncOperation.kt
|
|
:language: kotlin
|
|
:start-after: DOCSTART ExampleSummingFlow
|
|
:end-before: DOCEND ExampleSummingFlow
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/main/java/net/corda/docs/java/tutorial/flowstatemachines/ExampleSummingFlow.java
|
|
:language: java
|
|
:start-after: DOCSTART ExampleSummingFlow
|
|
:end-before: DOCEND ExampleSummingFlow
|
|
|
|
That's it! Obviously this is a mostly useless example, but this is the basic code structure one could extend for heavier
|
|
computations/other IO. For example the function could call into a ``CordaService`` or something similar. One thing to
|
|
note is that the operation executed in ``execute`` must be redoable(= "idempotent") in case the node fails before the
|
|
next checkpoint is committed.
|
|
|
|
How to test
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The recommended way to test flows and the state machine is using the Driver DSL. This ensures that you will test your
|
|
flow with a full node.
|
|
|
|
.. container:: codeset
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/integration-test/kotlin/net/corda/docs/kotlin/tutorial/test/TutorialFlowAsyncOperationTest.kt
|
|
:language: kotlin
|
|
:start-after: DOCSTART summingWorks
|
|
:end-before: DOCEND summingWorks
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/integration-test/java/net/corda/docs/java/tutorial/test/TutorialFlowAsyncOperationTest.java
|
|
:language: java
|
|
:start-after: DOCSTART summingWorks
|
|
:end-before: DOCEND summingWorks
|
|
|
|
The above will spin up a node and run our example flow.
|
|
|
|
How to debug issues
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Let's assume we made a mistake in our summing operation:
|
|
|
|
.. container:: codeset
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/main/kotlin/net/corda/docs/kotlin/tutorial/flowstatemachines/TutorialFlowAsyncOperation.kt
|
|
:language: kotlin
|
|
:start-after: DOCSTART SummingOperationThrowing
|
|
:end-before: DOCEND SummingOperationThrowing
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/main/java/net/corda/docs/java/tutorial/flowstatemachines/SummingOperationThrowing.java
|
|
:language: java
|
|
:start-after: DOCSTART SummingOperationThrowing
|
|
:end-before: DOCEND SummingOperationThrowing
|
|
|
|
The operation now throws a rude exception. If we modify the example flow to use this and run the same test we will get
|
|
a lot of logs about the error condition (as we are in dev mode). The interesting bit looks like this:
|
|

Whoa that's a lot of stuff. Now we get a glimpse into the bowels of the flow state machine. As we can see the flow did
|
|
quite a few things, even though the flow code looks simple.
|
|
|
|
What we can see here is the different transitions the flow's state machine went through that led up to the error
|
|
condition. For each transition we see what *Event* triggered the transition, what *Action* s were taken as a consequence,
|
|
and how the internal *State* of the state machine was modified in the process. It also prints the transition's
|
|
*Continuation*, which indicates how the flow should proceed after the transition.
|
|
|
|
For example in the first transition we can see that the triggering event was a ``DoRemainingWork``, this is a generic
|
|
event that instructs the state machine to check its own state to see whether there's any work left to do, and does it if
|
|
there's any.
|
|
|
|
In this case the work involves persisting a checkpoint together with some deduplication data in a database transaction,
|
|
then acknowledging any triggering messages, signalling that the flow has started, and creating a fresh database
|
|
transaction, to be used by user code.
|
|
|
|
The continuation is a ``Resume``, which instructs the state machine to hand control to user code. The state change is
|
|
a simple update of bookkeeping data.
|
|
|
|
In other words the first transition concerns the initialization of the flow, which includes the creation of the
|
|
checkpoint.
|
|
|
|
The next transition is the suspension of our summing operation, triggered by the ``Suspend`` event. As we can see in
|
|
this transition we aren't doing any work related to the summation yet, we're merely persisting the checkpoint that
|
|
indicates that we want to do the summation. Had we added a ``toString`` method to our ``SummingOperationThrowing`` we
|
|
would see a nicer message.
|
|
|
|
The next transition is the faulty one, as we can see it was also triggered by a ``DoRemainingWork``, and executed our
|
|
operation. We can see that there are two state "diff"s printed, one that would've happened had the transition succeeded,
|
|
and one that actually happened, which marked the flow's state as errored. The rest of the transitions involve error
|
|
propagation (triggered by the ``FlowHospital``) and notification of failure, which ultimately raises the exception on
|
|
the RPC ``resultFuture``.
