[HAPI-devel] Using a non-standard message definition in the simpleserver processMessage

[Ian V. <Ian...@he...>]

We have a vendor who sends us non-standard messages which resemble ORU R01, and the MSH states that they are ORU R01.
 
A class to represent the message has been built, and it works well, except when we want to use it in the processMessage method of a SimpleServer.  processMessage requires the message to be Message, which throws an exception if we try to cast it to our specific message class.
 
Whilst we can get things working by encoding the Message object and parsing the result with our specific implementation, this doesn't feel light the 'right way' to do it.
 
How can we get the messageProcessor method to deal with our specific message implementation?
 
Thanks
Ian
