Our issue is a bit different. We used to process an aggregated feed, so we have smart logic that can already process a variety of feeds intelligently with our handler. Running 2 instances of the server would work but would not perform well enough as we do not have a multi-process caching strategy for example.

We were hoping that HAPI had some facility to do something like:

       Application handler = new HL7ListenerApp(Con);
LowerLayerProtocol llp = LowerLayerProtocol.makeLLP(); // The transport protocol PipeParser parser = new PipeParser(new CanonicalModelClassFactory("2.6")); // The message parser
       parser.setValidationContext(new  NoValidation());
       HL7Listener = new SimpleServer(PORT1, llp, parser);
       HL7Listener.registerApplication("*", "*", handler);
       HL7Listener.start();
       HL7Listener = new SimpleServer(PORT2, llp, parser);
       HL7Listener.registerApplication("*", "*", handler);
       HL7Listener.start();

This just looks nasty and dangerous :) Our HL7ListenerApp is threadsafe, but we couldn't see documentation that could either support such a setup or not. Ultimately, it would be interesting if this were supported in HAPI. The better way may be:

       HL7Listener = new SimpleServer(PORT1, llp, parser);
       HL7Listener.addPort(PORT2);
       HL7Listener.registerApplication("*", "*", handler);
       HL7Listener.start();

I have seen a lot of setups where Mirth would be used as a front end purely to do message aggregation. Wondering how complex it would be to actually do at the level of the framework itself so an app could aggregate multiple feeds in a threadsafe way to a single handler.

Makes sense?




Thank you,

We have written several programs which implement simple server on different ports and run them separately. This enables us to log each feed and stop/start them individually when required. Whilst it can mean you end up with quite a few processes running, it has proved an effective technique.

Hi - As per HAPI documentation, messages can be processed through HAPI using *SimpleServer *on a port. We have a requirement where data coming from different feeds to our application on different ports. Does HAPI provide API to handle incoming messages on different ports? All these feeds are inbound to our interface. For example, we would like to listen to ADT feed on port 8080 and ORU feed on 8081?

Is it possible to handle using HAPI? or Please suggest any alternate strategy we can use to handle multiple ports for different inbound feeds?

*SimpleServer HL7Listener = new SimpleServer(PORT, llp, parser);**
**HL7Listener.registerApplication("*", "*", handler);**
**HL7Listener.start();**
*
Cheers,
Brijesh
