[HAPI-devel] When you try to test one thing, sometimes you find another...

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

In an effort to test some code using HAPI, I wanted a bad message that wouldn't parse. For simplicity sake, I thought I would jigger the MSH.

I was expecting to get an HL7Exception, catch it, build an error message to be passed on, and proceed.

Except you don't get an HL7Exception when you make the MSH exist as only "MSH|\r".

You get an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, because an HL7Exception tries to be built addressing an array, and the element being addressed is not present.

Sometimes I just end up making my own life difficult when I try to be thorough.
