Determine Block Type

// determine block type based on 'blockType' field
Boolean isSendBlock = BlockUtils.isSendBlock(EBlockType.SEND_CALL.getValue());
Boolean isReceiveBlock = BlockUtils.isReceiveBlock(EBlockType.RECEIVE.getValue());
// determine block type directly
AccountBlock accountBlock = ...;
Boolean isSendBlock = accountBlock.isSendBlock();
Boolean isReceiveBlock = accountBlock.isReceiveBlock();

Check Contract Execution Result

The method consists of the following steps:

  1. Look up for the account block that sendBlockHash refers to. If it doesn't exist, return false;
  2. Verify if the request transaction contained in send block is valid contract call transaction (toAddress is contract address and block type is SEND_CALL or SEND_CREATE). Return false if no;
  3. Check if the request has been accepted by smart contract (valid receiveBlockHash is contained in send block). If no, loop for up to 10 times retry by default until correct receiveBlockHash is set. If maximum retry is reached and receiveBlockHash is still not set, return false;

Tip

The possible reason could be contract is short of quota, or ResponseLatency/randomDegree for the contract is too high so that in-coming request can only be accepted after certain waiting number is reached.

  1. Confirm the smart contract is executed as expected (value of the 33th byte of data field of response transaction should be 0; any non-zero value indicates execution failure). If the value is not zero, return false;
  2. Confirm all in-contract request transactions (RS blocks) are executed successfully, if any. Then return true.

// use default retry times (=10)
boolean success = ProtocolUtils.checkCallContractResult(vitej, sendBlockHash);
// use retry times 15
boolean success = ProtocolUtils.checkCallContractResult(vitej, sendBlockHash, 15);
