[<Bry...@uh...>]

Just a couple of related notes ... 
 
1) If you don't have the database, you can still do this but the procedure
is different.  You have to write the Z-segment class manually, write a
modified message class that references it, and "register" these as described
in the JavaDocs for ca.uhn.hl7v2.parser.Parser.packageList().  
 
2) I'm working on automatic handling of Z-segments, and plan to have it
ready for version 0.4 (which should be out within a month).  The basic idea
is that any unexpected segment that is encountered during parsing will be
added to the message structure on the fly, and if the segment type isn't
recognized (e.g. because it is a Z-segment) then the segment structure will
also be built on the fly (out of Varies types, unless the message is XML
encoded so that the datatype is declared).

Subject: [HAPI-devel] adding Z segments


Alex,
 
We have customized our message adding Z segment etc. It is a multi-step
process. First you have to modify the access database for the HL7 messages.
Once you have done that then you need to recompile the entire library.
Beware that you want to use the latest version of the HAPI code from the CVS
not the download from the site.  
 
Shin.
