How to create a blockchain using java api

Question

I have created a blockchain using command like multichain-util create chain_name from command prompt, but now i want to create the blockchain without using any command line arguments that means using JSON-RPC calls to create the blockchain with java

Answer 1

I'm afraid this is not currently possible via an API, since each instance of multichaind is for a specific blockchain and cannot create new blockchains. However you can run command-line tools from Java, and wrap those in your own Java function. Some things to help you:

• multichain-util has the ability to set any blockchain parameter using a command-line option: https://www.multichain.com/developers/creating-connecting/
• multichaind has a -shortoutput option that can be helpful for integrating into scripts: https://www.multichain.com/developers/runtime-parameters/
