Access Chaincode Functions

Access Chaincode Functions

Steps to be followed:

1. Setting up the Hyperledger Fabric Test network

2. Creating a new Class with Name ClientApp

3. Accessing chaincode functions of Carshowroom smart contract

Step 1: Setting up the Hyperledger Fabric Test network

1. Navigate to the test-network folder by using the following command:

cd eclipse-workspace/fabric-samples/test-network

2. Stop the previously running test network by running the following command:

sudo ./network.sh down

3. Remove the unused docker images by running the following command:

sudo docker system prune

4. Start the test network by executing the following command:

sudo ./network.sh up -ca -s couchdb

5. To create a communication channel for the peers in the test network use the following command:

sudo ./network.sh createChannel -c samplechannel

6. Check the list of the channels for the test network by executing the following commands:

sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock

docker exec peer0.org1.example.com peer channel list

Step 2: Creating a new Class with Name ClientApp

1. Right-click on fabricjavaclient project and navigate to New > Class to create a new class with the name ClientApp

2. Add the following code to import the libraries to ClientApp class:

import java.nio.file.Path;

import java.nio.file.Paths;

import org.hyperledger.fabric.gateway.Contract;

import org.hyperledger.fabric.gateway.Gateway;

import org.hyperledger.fabric.gateway.Network;

import org.hyperledger.fabric.gateway.Wallet;

import org.hyperledger.fabric.gateway.Wallets;

3. Add the following code under the class ClientApp to set the property:

static {

System.setProperty("org.hyperledger.fabric.sdk.service_discovery.as_localhost", "true");

}

4. Write the following code to create a gateway connect with the Carshowroom smart contract and access its chaincode functions:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

// Load a file system based wallet for managing identities.

Path walletPath = Paths.get("wallet");

Wallet wallet = Wallets.newFileSystemWallet(walletPath);

// load a CCP

Path networkConfigPath = Paths.get("..", "..", "test-network", "organizations", "peerOrganizations", "org1.example.com", "connection-org1.yaml");

Gateway.Builder builder = Gateway.createBuilder();

builder.identity(wallet, "appUser").networkConfig(networkConfigPath).discovery(true);

// create a gateway connection

try (Gateway gateway = builder.connect()) {

// get the network and contract

Network network = gateway.getNetwork("samplechannel");

Contract contract = network.getContract("CarShowroom");

byte[] result;

contract.submitTransaction("addNewCar", "1", "Ford", "Grey", "7890");

result = contract.evaluateTransaction("queryCarById", "1");

System.out.println(new String(result));

contract.submitTransaction("changeCarOwnership", "1", "Joe");

result = contract.evaluateTransaction("queryCarById", "1");

System.out.println(new String(result));

}

}

Step 3: Accessing chaincode functions of Carshowroom chaincode

1. Now install, approve, and commit Carshowroom chaincode

2. In Eclipse, run the ClientApp file to access the chaincode functions
