How Private Ethereum network store my input data in mined block

Question

I'm trying to understand how a private ethereum blockchain store data. I connect to a node through web3j API in java and send a transaction like:

                EthSendTransaction sendTrans = txManager.sendTransaction(DefaultGasProvider.GAS_PRICE
                    ,
                    DefaultGasProvider.GAS_LIMIT,
                    "0xae551c2ae4a15472c62c77cee07cf00467c19b9b",
                    txData,
                    BigInteger.ZERO);

where my txData is a hex number convert from a String "This is test Data". I see the pending transaction:

[{
blockHash: null,
blockNumber: null,
from: "0x6a30dd87fb4ce370c4fd4193e5b59b0cc4dc8daf",

transactionIndex: null,
v: "0x1b",
value: 0

}]

where the input : "..." is the data that I want to store. However, after the block is mined, I use eth.getBlock("..."). I received:

I'm confusing that how can I get back the string that I store in the block chain.

Answer 1

Using eth_getBlock() will return the block data, not the specific tx data that you're looking for. You want the specific data from your tx. Since you have the tx hash ("0x7ed84ceae544a0a8237e75be62ec919b3e096e76bc558f965ae54d4b2b151cb7"), my assumption is that eth_getTransactionByHash() (wiki link) would be your best shot. If not that, you may want to use the RPC wiki to try and find a call that suits your needs.
