Gah! I thought I DID RTFM, but I didn't see the CanonicalModelClassFactory 
example. :-/

One thing I am interested in is who is expected to perform the service 
specified in an ORM, but there doesn't seem to be a place in the message 
structure for it (I believe this is why the REF_I12 was created, but EMRs don't 
seem to support it yet). I don't want to hard-code a placement for that, 
because if an EMR includes it at all, it could be in PV1-7,9,52, or who KNOWS 
where. I want to look for it in one place, and if a particular 
application/facility puts it somewhere else, I can use some form of 
transformation to move it to the place I'm looking for it.

I have seen other cases where things are just not quite standard, and instead 
of having to hard-code an exception whenever we integrate with a new 
application/facility, I can just create a new transformation and link it to the 
application/facility.

I know that I could probably write a subclassed parser to do this, but I'd 
rather not have to code-recompile-redeploy my app just because a new 
integration was introduced. I would much rather configure something to do the 
transformation.

I have seen other applications use XML and XSLT to do this, and I was wondering 
if the HAPI community has done anything like this, and produced any XSLT files 
for it.

Hi Jake,

You'll find two techniques for dealing with multiple versions under "handling 
multiple versions" here: http://hl7api.sourceforge.net/devbyexample.html



I'm not sure I understand your second question though. What type of "handling" 
do you need to do?

Cheers,
James

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?
