-------------------------------------
Summary: Remove recently added additional HL7 Type Converters
Key: CAMEL-12493
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-12493
Project: Camel
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: camel-hl7
Affects Versions: 2.21.0
Reporter: christian ohr
In Camel 2.21.0, HL7-version/event-specific type converters were added to
camel-hl7. IMHO this was a bad idea:
* it transitively pulls in *all* HL7 structure libraries, regardless whether
you need them in your application or not. That's nearly 10MB. Btw, type
converters for the newer HL7 versions 2.7, 2.8, 2.8.1 were simply disregarded,
which would have gifted you with another ~ 7.5MB.
* manually excluding one or more of them causes the
AnnotationTypeConverterLoader to throw ugly NoClassDefFoundError stack traces
in the log
* the component documentation states that you have to manually add structure
library dependencies (the way it should be, really)
Proposal: remove these type converters. I think it's acceptable to do a simple
type cast in a processor or add a manual \{{convertBodyTo(HL7Class)}} in the
route instead.
Opinions? (I'm happy to provide a PR :))
