To get started developing Java chaincode
- Ensure you have gradle
- Download the binary distribution from http://gradle.org/gradle-download/
- Unpack, move to the desired location, and add gradle’s bin directory to your system path
- Ensure gradle -v works from the command-line, and shows version 2.12 or greater
- Optionally, enable the gradle daemon for faster builds
- Ensure you have the Java 1.8 JDK installed. Also ensure Java’s directory is on your path with java -version
- Additionally, you will need to have the JAVA HOME variable set to your JDK installation in your system path
-
From your command line terminal, move to the devenv subdirectory of your workspace environment. Log into a Vagrant terminal by executing the following command:
vagrant ssh
-
Build and run the peer process.
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric make peer peer node start
-
The following steps is for deploying chaincode in non-dev mode.
peer chaincode deploy -l java -n map -p /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/core/chaincode/shim/java -c '{"Function": "init", "Args": ["a","100", "b", "200"]}'

* This command will give the 'name' for this chaincode, and use this value in all the further commands with the -n (name) parameter
* PS. This may take a few minutes depending on the environment as it deploys the chaincode in the container,
- Invoke a transfer transaction,
/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/core/chaincode/shim/java$ peer chaincode invoke -l java \
-n 6d9a704d95284593fe802a5de89f84e86fb975f00830bc6488713f9441b835cf32d9cd07b087b90e5cb57a88360f90a4de39521a5595545ad689cd64791679e9 \
-c '{"Function": "transfer", "Args": ["a","b", "20"]}'
c7dde1d7-fae5-4b68-9ab1-928d61d1e346
- Query the values of a and b after the transfer
/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/core/chaincode/shim/java$ peer chaincode query -l java \
-n 6d9a704d95284593fe802a5de89f84e86fb975f00830bc6488713f9441b835cf32d9cd07b087b90e5cb57a88360f90a4de39521a5595545ad689cd64791679e9 \
-c '{"Function": "query", "Args": ["a"]}'
{"Name":"a","Amount":"80"}
/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/core/chaincode/shim/java$ peer chaincode query -l java \
-n 6d9a704d95284593fe802a5de89f84e86fb975f00830bc6488713f9441b835cf32d9cd07b087b90e5cb57a88360f90a4de39521a5595545ad689cd64791679e9 \
-c '{"Function": "query", "Args": ["b"]}'
{"Name":"b","Amount":"220"}
- To develop your own chaincodes, simply extend the Chaincode class (demonstrated in the SimpleSample Example under the examples package)
