[HAPI-devel] Parsing XML to PIPED message

[Tommy K. <Tom...@cs...>]

Hi,

Executing  getXMLMsgAsPIPED with the  two strings below, returns a piped message when the  variable messageXML2 is used but not when messageXML1 used.  I've shortened down the variables in this example so it's just to illustrate.

Questions

-          Do the xml string need to be structured

-          If it needs to be structured how to structure it when I come in as in variable messageXML1

          public String getXMLMsgAsPIPED(String message, String messageStructure) throws HL7Exception {
                  System.out.println("Inside getXMLMsgAsPIPED : "+message+"\n");
                  String xmlMessage = message;

                  DefaultXMLParser XParser = new DefaultXMLParser();
                  PipeParser classicParser = new PipeParser();
                  String classicMessage = null;
                      ca.uhn.hl7v2.parser.XMLParser xmlParser = new DefaultXMLParser();
                      try{

                          ca.uhn.hl7v2.model.Message msg = xmlParser.parse(xmlMessage);

                          classicMessage = classicParser.encode(msg);
                          System.out.println("Inside getXMLMsgAsPIPED classicMessage : "+classicMessage+"\n");

                              System.out.println("Output classicMessage : "+classicMessage+"\n");
                          return classicMessage;
                      }
                      catch (Exception e) {
                          e.printStackTrace();
                          return "0";

                      }
                  return classicMessage;
          }



String messageXML1 = "<ADT_A01 xmlns:ns0=\"urn:hl7-org:v2xml\" xmlns=\"urn:hl7-org:v2xml\"><ns0:MSH><ns0:MSH.1>|</ns0:MSH.1><ns0:MSH.2>^~\\&amp;</ns0:MSH.2>....."
