I see a few requests in the archive about how to convert messages between 
different versions of HL7, but so far, no replies to any of them.

I have a similar need. I need to communicate with different applications, and I 
will not be able to dictate which version of HL7 they use. I also do not want 
to have to program to all the different versions of HL7. I would like to be 
able to accept a message in any version of HL7, but only have to manipulate a 
single version. For example, in my test application, I convert to a 
ca.uhn.hl7v2.model.v26.message.ORU_R01, and get my Provider information from 
ca.uhn.hl7v2.model.v26.datatype.XPN, and I don't want to have to write a 
conversion method for all other versions, just 2.6.

Once I have THAT accomplished, I will also need to do some manipulation on a 
per-application basis, and I was wondering if there was a "typical" way that 
was accomplished.

One method I have heard of is to convert the message to XML and create a XSLT 
for each application that does something "non-standard". Is that what people 
using HAPI typically do? If so, does anyone have any example XSLT files?
