Forgot to mention that you currently still need to include the hapi-structure jar(s) in your classpath, depending on the HL7 version(s) you expect. You can also use the CanonicalModelClassFactory with your parser, then you only need the latest structure jar. In HAPI 2.1 (not released yet), you will be able to omit the structure jars completely.
