[HAPI-devel] newbie questions

[Matthew F. <mg...@mc...>]

I am just getting started with this, so please excuse the following no
doubt na=EFve questions...

My first one is, where are the classes? For example, on the project page
under Docs | Overview, there is the following example:

ADT_A01 testMessage =3D new ADT_A01();
testMessage.getMSH().getDateTimeOfMessage().setValue("foo");  //throws
exception because "foo" is not a valid date
testMessage.getMSH().getDateTimeOfMessage().setValue(ValidTS.toHL7TSForm
at(System.currentTimeMillis()));  //OK

But where does the ADT_A01 class come from? It is not listed in the
javadoc documentation. My understanding is that there are supposed to be
classes representing all of the message types, but I can't find
documentation for them.  Mostly there are just abstract classes and
interfaces.

I am trying to write an HL7 interface for a pathology lab system. It
just needs to be able to receive lab requests, send lab reports, and
handle acknowledgments. If anyone has done anything remotely comparable
using HAPI, I'd really appreciate some sample code.

Thanks much,
