Ashutosh sent this question to me directly, but included the message he was 
dealing with complete.  Given the MSH I was able to ascertain that the message 
said it was HL7 version 2.2, and this resulted in the XML representation 
matching closer with the standard (no PID-3 lists catered for, repeating 
telephone numbers of TN type, not XTN which has additional components), than 
what is available in the parsed object.

Extra components and the like don't end up in the XML when you use a simple 
context.

There may be more options to adjust this in the XML representation of such 
things, but I'm not dealing with the XML representation every day.  Is anyone 
else able to comment?

Thanks

Subject: [HAPI-devel] Handling Repetitions in fields

Hi,
I am using HAPI 2.2 library.  The goal is to convert HL7 message to XML 
representation.  Here is my challenges with how HAPI is dealing with 
repetitions.

Sample HL7 message - with Field repetition in bold
PID:1::952918621~989864122::Cloaked;WAUA;;""::20141211155123:M::1;*WHITE;HL70005;1;*WHITE;99RAC:424

 HISPANIC/LATINO;HL70189;2;NOT 
HISPANIC/LATINO;99ETH:::::N:::N:N:::::::::::::::::::N


HAPI XML Output (for the repeated fields in bold)

<PID.3>

  <CM_PAT_ID.1>952918621</CM_PAT_ID.1>

</PID.3>

<PID.3>

  <CM_PAT_ID.1>989864122</CM_PAT_ID.1>

</PID.3>



With the above representation it looks like as if it's a component value then 
the field value itself.



Is it possible to get XML output as mentioned below or something on similar 
lines?  I am looking for a generic solution.

<PID.3-1>952918621</PID.3-1>

<PID.3-2>989864122</PID.3-2>



  Thanks

  Ashutosh
