Hyperledger Java SDK working example

You can take a look at the following

- Java SDK for Hyperledger Fabric 2.2. In this, there are two files given in the folder "fabric-sdk-java/src/test/java/org/hyperledger/fabric/sdkintegration/" ==> End2endAndBackAgainIT.java, End2endIT.java. This can help.

  • For a demonstration, refer to Youtube channel video: End to end Demo
  • For a fabric network which has everything (network & crypto) setup for the E2E demo: E2E Cli Setup

Update on 2020-June-07

The link above Java SDK for Hyperledger Fabric 2.2, is a low level SDK for interacting with Hyperledger Fabric.

If your purpose is building Hyperledger Fabric blockchain client applications, then its recommended to use the Hyperledger Fabric Gateway SDK for Java, a high level API. Its very simple to use, just refer to the code snippet from [2.2]. please refer to the link how to use

// code snippet from [2.2]
class Sample { 
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException 
{ 
    // Load an existing wallet holding identities used to access the network. 
    Path walletDirectory = Paths.get("wallet"); 
    Wallet wallet = Wallets.newFileSystemWallet(walletDirectory); 
    // Path to a common connection profile describing the network. 
    Path networkConfigFile = Paths.get("connection.json"); 
    // Configure the gateway connection used to access the network.
    Gateway.Builder builder = Gateway.createBuilder() .identity(wallet, "user1").networkConfig(networkConfigFile); 

    // Create a gateway connection 
    try (Gateway gateway = builder.connect()){ 
        // Obtain a smart contract deployed on the network. 
        Network network = gateway.getNetwork("mychannel"); 
        Contract contract = network.getContract("fabcar"); 
        // Submit transactions that store state to the ledger. 
        byte[] createCarResult = contract.createTransaction("createCar").submit("CAR10", "VW", "Polo", "Grey","Mary"); 
        System.out.println(new String(createCarResult, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)); 
        // Evaluate transactions that query state from the ledger. 
        byte[] queryAllCarsResult = contract.evaluateTransaction("queryAllCars");
        System.out.println(new String(queryAllCarsResult, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)); 
    } 
    catch (ContractException | TimeoutException | InterruptedException e) { 
        e.printStackTrace(); 
    } 
} 

}

API documentation for both 1.4 and 2.2 are available.


Here is an example, implementing some functionality from fabcar (query.js and invoke.js - only query by one car and change owner)

I used Java8 on Windows. If you use another OS please update paths accordingly.

I used no implementation for json to avoid additional libraries (it is required to deal with certs a bit - see below).

You will need fabcar example up and running. And (because of 'no json'):

  1. Put Private key (cd96d5260ad4757551ed4a5a991e62130f8008a0bf996e4e4b84cd097a747fec-priv from example) to c:\tmp\cert\PeerAdm.priv
  2. Put Certificate from PeerAdmin file (value of json's "certificate", with '\n' replaced by newlines) to c:\tmp\cert\PeerAdm.cert

I find this Java example to be more helpful than the links provided. Out of the box it provides you with an end to end test without bloat. Shows you how to do everything without CLI, in plain Java.
