Re: [HAPI-devel] HAPI TestPanel rejects message

[James A. <ja...@ja...>]

Hi John,

My apologies on the slow response.

The test panel doesn't have a source bundle available, but the source is
available as a subproject in our main source tree here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/hl7api/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/hapi-mvn/hapi-testpanel

That said, I am betting this issue is actually with the main HAPI library,
specifically in
Receiver#processMessage()<https://sourceforge.net/p/hl7api/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/hapi-mvn/hapi-base/src/main/java/ca/uhn/hl7v2/app/Receiver.java>.
HAPI's HL7 server ignores unsolicited incoming messages if they contain an
MSA segment since it assumes that they are ACKs we aren't waiting on a
response for. Fundamentally the issue I guess is that the same Receiver
class is used for the client and the server. For a client, it makes sense
to ignore unexpected ACKs but for a server presumably you want to handle
anything that arrives.

If you wanted to take a crack at this, great. If you wanted to file a bug,
also great.

James
