FlowInitiator

Please note that FlowInitiator has been superceded by net.corda.core.context.InvocationContext, which offers more detail for the same event.

FlowInitiator holds information on who started the flow. We have different ways of doing that: via FlowInitiator.RPC, communication started by peer nodes (FlowInitiator.Peer), scheduled flows (FlowInitiator.Scheduled) or via the Corda Shell (FlowInitiator.Shell).

Inheritors

Types

Peer

data class Peer(val party: Party) : FlowInitiator

Started when we get new session initiation request.

RPC

data class RPC(val username: String) : FlowInitiator

Started using net.corda.core.messaging.CordaRPCOps.startFlowDynamic.

Scheduled

data class Scheduled(val scheduledState: ScheduledStateRef) : FlowInitiator

Started as scheduled activity.

Service

data class Service(val serviceClassName: String) : FlowInitiator

Started by a CordaService.

Shell

object Shell : FlowInitiator

Properties

invocationContext

val invocationContext: InvocationContext

Returns an InvocationContext, which is equivalent to this object but expressed using the successor to this class hierarchy (which is now deprecated). The returned object has less information than it could have, so prefer to use fetch an invocation context directly if you can (e.g. in net.corda.core.messaging.StateMachineInfo)

Functions

getName

abstract fun getName(): String

implies

open fun implies(p0: Subject): Boolean
