如果发送到合约，Web3J “transaction.getTo()” 返回 null

Question

I'm currently running a full node and am trying to loop through some transactions. Whenever I do so with Web3j and use the EthBlock.TransactionObject and I get to a transaction that contains a contract ( Like this one ) and use the .getTo() function it returns a null value. Is there any way for me to retrieve the contract address?

EDIT: This is the code im using to get the transaction

EthBlock.Block block = web3.ethGetBlockByNumber(DefaultBlockParameter.valueOf(BigInteger.valueOf(1397553)), true).send().getBlock();
List<EthBlock.TransactionResult> transactionResults = block.getTransactions();
transactionResults.forEach(tx -> {
   EthBlock.TransactionObject transaction = (EthBlock.TransactionObject) tx.get();
   System.out.println(transaction.getCreates());
});

This returns a "null"

Answer 1

When a transaction creates a contract, the to field is empty by design (of the Ethereum network).

To get the contract address that the transaction creates, use the getCreates() method.
