Network
A network map contains lists of nodes on the network along with information about their identity keys, services they provide and host names or IP addresses where they can be connected to. The cache wraps around a map fetched from an authoritative service, and adds easy lookup of the data stored within it. Generally it would be initialised with a specified network map service, which it fetches data from and then subscribes to updates of.
Properties
Functions
Clear all network map data from local node cache.
Look up the node info for a host and port.
Look up the node info for a specific party. Will attempt to de-anonymise the party if applicable; if the party is anonymised and the well known party cannot be resolved, it is impossible ot identify the node and therefore this returns null. Notice that when there are more than one node for a given party (in case of distributed services) first service node found will be returned. See also: NetworkMapCache.getNodesByLegalIdentityKey.
Return a NodeInfo which has the given legal name for one of its identities, or null if no such node is found.
Look up the node information entries for a specific identity key. Note that normally there will be only one node for a key, but for clusters of nodes or distributed services there can be multiple nodes.
Return a list of NodeInfos which have the given legal name for one of their identities, or an empty list if no such nodes are found.
Look up a well known identity of notary by legal name.
Returns information about the party, which may be a specific node or a service
Look up the well known identity of a legal name. This should be used in preference to well known identity lookup in the identity service where possible, as the network map is the authoritative source of well known identities.
Look up a well known identity (including certificate path) of a legal name. This should be used in preference to well known identity lookup in the identity service where possible, as the network map is the authoritative source of well known identities.
