Hi Mehul,
Just to add to the chain and agree with the others, HAPI is probably not the
most friendly way of generating one-off messages if you're just looking to
generate a handful of one-time messages. For that purpose, I might recommend
the excellent 7edit product (http://www.7edit.com), but it's not free.
Alternately, Message Workbench can probably help you, although it's a bit
daunting to use.
That said, if you don't mind the learning curve, or want to automate the
process of generating messages, I'm sure HAPI could be made to do what you
want.
Have a look at the "creating a message" examples here for an idea of how to
get started: http://hl7api.sourceforge.net/devbyexample.html
