Raphaëlle, If you just have a few specific tests you want to perform, you could write a custom ca.uhn.hl7v2.validation.MessageRule and add it to your ValidationContext (maybe subclass DefaultValidation).
If you want to test against detailed specs, consider conformance profiles. See the ca.uhn.hl7v2.conf package (ca.uhn.hl7v2.conf.spec.message.StaticDef would be a good place to start -- this approach takes a bit of work though). Finally, I haven't worked with HL7 in a long time, so please excuse me if my advice is a little off.
