What you are after is the terser.  Cut and pasted snippets below.  Since the 
structure of the ORM is rather deep, I included some additional strings to make 
it easier.  The example I extracted this from uses a properties file that has a 
database column name as the key, and the datatype and terse destination as the 
value, like this:
 
MESSAGE_TYPE=VARCHAR2|MSH-9-1
TRIGGER_EVENT=VARCHAR2|MSH-9-2
PATIENT_CLASS=VARCHAR2|PV1-2
ORDER_CONTROL=VARCHAR2|ORC-1
ORDER_STATUS=VARCHAR2|ORC-5
CLI_ID=NUMBER|PID-3
CLI_LAST_NAME=VARCHAR2|PID-5-1
CLI_FIRST_NAME=VARCHAR2|PID-5-2
CLI_OTHER_NAMES=VARCHAR2|PID-5-3
CLI_TITLE=VARCHAR2|PID-5-5
CLI_BIRTH_DATE=DATE|PID-7
 
I split the value on the pipe, make some format decisions using the datatype, 
and put the value into the nominated field with the terser.
 
The deeper and somewhat odd looking terser keys can be seen if you create a 
message of a particular type and do a printstructure.
 
With the message object and it's terser you can use both the technique you have 
shown, and the terser interchangeably to construct your message.
 
You mention that there are differences from hospital to hospital, which I have 
seen with content, but seldom with structure.  If the hospital doesn't follow 
the HL7 standard in it's structure, you may have to build custom messages. If 
they just put funny content in, you can use either of these techniques to get 
at the content, and do what you need.
 
Note this code is a few lines cut from a running interface, just to show the 
use.  It's not in any way complete. It doiesn't show the loop through the 
columns of the recordset object of the database source to fill the entire 
message. The MSH segment is filled out using the 
hl7Out.getMSH().getVersionID().getVersionID().setValue("2.3.1"); technique.
 
import ca.uhn.hl7v2.HL7Exception;
import ca.uhn.hl7v2.model.DataTypeException;
import ca.uhn.hl7v2.model.v231.message.ORM_O01;
import ca.uhn.hl7v2.parser.CustomModelClassFactory;
import ca.uhn.hl7v2.parser.ModelClassFactory;
import ca.uhn.hl7v2.util.Terser;
            ModelClassFactory cmf = new 
CustomModelClassFactory("au.gov.qld.health.sit.bsqr");
            ORM_O01 hl7Out = new ORM_O01(cmf);
            System.out.println(hl7Out.printStructure());
            Terser terser = new Terser(hl7Out);
 
            String pidTerse = "/PIDPD1NTEPV1PV2IN1IN2IN3GT1AL1";
            String pv1Terse = "/PIDPD1NTEPV1PV2IN1IN2IN3GT1AL1/PV1PV2";
            String orcTerse = 
"/ORCOBRRQDRQ1ODSODTRXONTEDG1RXRRXCNTEOBXNTECTIBLG";
            String obrTerse = orcTerse + 
"/OBRRQDRQ1ODSODTRXONTEDG1RXRRXCNTEOBXNTE";
 

             if (!mobileStationName.equalsIgnoreCase("unknown")) {
                    terser.set(obrTerse + "/OBR-21", mobileStationName);
             }
 

 
Best of luck

I just worked on a project which used Mirth, and in the mapping code, we'd do 
something like

var PatientGivenName = msg['PID.5.2'].toString();

I have been searching the docs and samples online to find a way to access 
values from "path expressions" like the above, but without success. A quick 
pointer would be so useful.
The reason why i am researching this is that i'd like eventually to have a 
simple configuration file that would provide simple mappings which could then 
be modified without changing code. Currently, i'd get the field with the 
following code:

ADT_A01 ADT = (ADT_A01) Msg;
ADT.getPID().getPatientName(0).getGivenName().getValue();
Clearly, for FirstName, that is unlikely to change, but some other values seem 
to vary a lot from hospital to hospital and would like my doce to be more 
flexible and driven by a simple mapping configuration.

Thank you.
