Hi Jim,

The best forum to ask about the java kernel is the implementers list, I 
suppose.

If you only use classes from data types and data structures, you should 
be safe. But as soon as you start to use, e.g. EHR, COMPOSITION from 
ehr_im and VERSION_REPOSITORY from common_im, you will need to handle 
PARTY_REF, which is an identifier of any subclass of PARTY in the 
demographic service. Since it is not a direct class reference to the 
demographic class, it should be possible for you to use id of your own 
demographic class which is semantically close to PARTY.

It would be interesting to know why you want to use your own demographic 
reference model.

Cheers,

Rong
