James,
Automating the process of generating messages is what I am trying
to do. I understand that HAPI by itself will not be able to generate
the messages as such and that I will need to write some wrapper code
around it.
Do you have an URL for Message Workbench ? I've looked at
HL7.org and the following
http://hl7projects.hl7.nscee.edu/projects/mwb/ but doesn't seem to
have a downloadable copy of the application.
I will check out the examples you pointed out.
cheers,
mehul
