If I’m not mistaken, this is the mailing list for the HAPI HL7v2 library.
This code below looks to be using HAPI FHIR – different library.
See the get help section here for more info: https://hapifhir.io/
Incidentally, you are creating a new (empty) Patient object, then trying to
fetch the name. It doesn’t have one because you haven’t set one.

Subject: [External] [HAPI-devel] Unable to inspect gender and birthdate in
Patient
This message is from an EXTERNAL SENDER - be CAUTIOUS, particularly with links
and attachments.
________________________________
In the code below, I have an incoming Patient which has all the fields that
interest me filled in (see debugger image, but if it doesn't come through, it
shows that patient is filled out for name, gender, birthdate and address).
However, when I attempt to inspect gender and birthdate, these are null despite
the API telling me they exist (which, of course, they do--see attached image).
Note that I create a new Patient, named worthy, and experimentation
demonstrates that my code below copies the name and the address successfully to
worthy. It's just trying to copy gender and birthdate that result in null. If I
stop at the lines with *******, patient.getGender() and patient.getBirthDate()
return null.
There must be some very fundamental bit of understanding of which I'm
completely ignorant.
{
worthy = new Patient();
// name
if( !patient.hasName() )
patientTooThin( "name" );
HumanName humanName = patient.getNameFirstRep();
List< StringType > givens = humanName.getGiven();
String family = humanName.getFamily();
String first = null, middle = null;
for( StringType given : givens )
{
if( isNull( first ) )
first = given.toString();
else if( isNull( middle ) )
middle = given.toString();
else
break;
}
if( isNull( family ) || isNull( first ) )
patientTooThin( "first or last name" );
worthy.setName( Collections.singletonList( humanName ) );
// gender *************
if( !patient.hasGender() )
patientTooThin( "gender" );
worthy.setGender( patient.getGender() ); // ***************
// birthDate
if( !patient.hasBirthDate() )
patientTooThin( "birth date" );
worthy.setBirthDate( patient.getBirthDate() ); // ***************
// address
if( !patient.hasAddress() )
patientTooThin( "address" );
worthy.setAddress( Collections.singletonList( patient.getAddressFirstRep()
) );
}
