# buildTransaction

`fun buildTransaction(type: ContractDefRef, steps: List<TransactionBuildStep>): SerializedBytes<WireTransaction>`
Overrides APIServer.buildTransaction

TransactionBuildSteps would be invocations of contract.generateXXX() methods that all share a common TransactionBuilder and a common contract type (e.g. Cash or CommercialPaper) which would automatically be passed as the first argument (wed need that to be a criteria/pattern of the generateXXX methods).
