Re: [HAPI-devel] ClassCastException when casting down

[Christian O. <chr...@gm...>]

In your case, nothing tells HAPI to instantiate a "PFM" message when it
comes across a message with MFN^M01 in the MSH-9 field.

This is the task of the so-called event map. It's a file located in the
ca.uhn.hl7v2.parser.eventmap package and called <version>.properties (i.e.
in your case "2.5.properties").
The file contains two columns: col 1 specifies the message structure and
col 2 specifies the custom class that implements this structure. If there
is no match, it falls back to the standard event map, instantiating a
instance of ca.uhn.hl7v2.model.v25.message.MFN_M01, which gives you the
ClassCastException.

Check the existing HAPI structure libraries for these eventmap files.

So you have two choices
* rename the class com.msh.bgapp.hl7.custommodel.v25.message.PFM class to
MFN_M01. You don't need an custom eventmap then.
* add an event map file to your project that explicitly maps MFN_M01 to PFM

I usually choose option 1 as it keeps the naming convention and also
indicates in the class name what is replaced.
Also note that you do not necessarily have to extend from the original
message structure class.
