API: Persistence
Corda offers developers the option to expose all or some part of a contract state to an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) tool to be persisted in a RDBMS. The purpose of this is to assist vault development by effectively indexing persisted contract states held in the vault for the purpose of running queries over them and to allow relational joins between Corda data and private data local to the organisation owning a node.
The ORM mapping is specified using the Java Persistence API (JPA) as annotations and is converted to database table rows by the node automatically every time a state is recorded in the node's local vault as part of a transaction.
Note
Presently the node includes an instance of the H2 database but any database that supports JDBC is a candidate and the node will in the future support a range of database implementations via their JDBC drivers. Much of the node internal state is also persisted there. You can access the internal H2 database via JDBC, please see the info in "node-administration
" for details.
Schemas
Every ContractState
can implement the QueryableState
interface if it wishes to be inserted into the node's local database and accessible using SQL.
../../core/src/main/kotlin/net/corda/core/schemas/PersistentTypes.kt
The QueryableState
interface requires the state to enumerate the different relational schemas it supports, for instance in cases where the schema has evolved, with each one being represented by a MappedSchema
object return by the supportedSchemas()
method. Once a schema is selected it must generate that representation when requested via the generateMappedObject()
method which is then passed to the ORM.
Nodes have an internal SchemaService
which decides what to persist and what not by selecting the MappedSchema
to use.
../../node/src/main/kotlin/net/corda/node/services/api/SchemaService.kt
../../core/src/main/kotlin/net/corda/core/schemas/PersistentTypes.kt
The SchemaService
can be configured by a node administrator to select the schemas used by each app. In this way the relational view of ledger states can evolve in a controlled fashion in lock-step with internal systems or other integration points and not necessarily with every upgrade to the contract code. It can select from the MappedSchema
offered by a QueryableState
, automatically upgrade to a later version of a schema or even provide a MappedSchema
not originally offered by the QueryableState
.
It is expected that multiple different contract state implementations might provide mappings to some common schema. For example an Interest Rate Swap contract and an Equity OTC Option contract might both provide a mapping to a common Derivative schema. The schemas should typically not be part of the contract itself and should exist independently of it to encourage re-use of a common set within a particular business area or Cordapp.
MappedSchema
offer a family name that is disambiguated using Java package style name-spacing derived from the class name of a schema family class that is constant across versions, allowing the SchemaService
to select a preferred version of a schema.
The SchemaService
is also responsible for the SchemaOptions
that can be configured for a particular MappedSchema
which allow the configuration of a database schema or table name prefixes to avoid any clash with other MappedSchema
.
Note
It is intended that there should be plugin support for the SchemaService
to offer the version upgrading and additional schemas as part of Cordapps, and that the active schemas be configurable. However the present implementation offers none of this and simply results in all versions of all schemas supported by a QueryableState
being persisted. This will change in due course. Similarly, it does not currently support configuring SchemaOptions
but will do so in the future.
Custom schema registration
Custom contract schemas are automatically registered at startup time for CorDapps. The node bootstrap process will scan for schemas (any class that extends the MappedSchema
interface) in the plugins configuration directory in your CorDapp jar.
For testing purposes it is necessary to manually register the packages containing custom schemas as follows:
- Tests using
MockNetwork
andMockNode
must explicitly register packages using the cordappPackages parameter ofMockNetwork
- Tests using
MockServices
must explicitly register packages using the cordappPackages parameter of theMockServices
makeTestDatabaseAndMockServices() helper method.
Note
Tests using the DriverDSL will automatically register your custom schemas if they are in the same project structure as the driver call.
Object relational mapping
The persisted representation of a QueryableState
should be an instance of a PersistentState
subclass, constructed either by the state itself or a plugin to the SchemaService
. This allows the ORM layer to always associate a StateRef
with a persisted representation of a ContractState
and allows joining with the set of unconsumed states in the vault.
The PersistentState
subclass should be marked up as a JPA 2.1 Entity with a defined table name and having properties (in Kotlin, getters/setters in Java) annotated to map to the appropriate columns and SQL types. Additional entities can be included to model these properties where they are more complex, for example collections, so the mapping does not have to be flat. The MappedSchema
must provide a list of all of the JPA entity classes for that schema in order to initialise the ORM layer.
Several examples of entities and mappings are provided in the codebase, including Cash.State
and CommercialPaper.State
. For example, here's the first version of the cash schema.
../../finance/src/main/kotlin/net/corda/finance/schemas/CashSchemaV1.kt
Identity mapping
Schema entity attributes defined by identity types (AbstractParty
, Party
, AnonymousParty
) are automatically processed to ensure only the X500Name
of the identity is persisted where an identity is well known, otherwise a null value is stored in the associated column. To preserve privacy, identity keys are never persisted. Developers should use the IdentityService
to resolve keys from well know X500 identity names.
JDBC session
Apps may also interact directly with the underlying Node's database by using a standard JDBC connection (session) as described by the Java SQL Connection API
Use the ServiceHub
jdbcSession
function to obtain a JDBC connection as illustrated in the following example:
../../node/src/test/kotlin/net/corda/node/services/database/HibernateConfigurationTest.kt
JDBC session's can be used in Flows and Service Plugins (see "flow-state-machines
")
The following example illustrates the creation of a custom corda service using a jdbcSession:
../../docs/source/example-code/src/main/kotlin/net/corda/docs/CustomVaultQuery.kt
which is then referenced within a custom flow:
../../docs/source/example-code/src/main/kotlin/net/corda/docs/CustomVaultQuery.kt
