[HAPI-devel] New HAPI user

[Vishal A. <va...@ve...>]

Hello All,=20

       I came across HaPI on Sourceforge.net. Very impressive work. I am
trying to use HAPI to store Messages/segments/fields in an oracle =
database.
Does that make sense? I am still a new user and don't think I understand
HAPI in detail but here is what I am thinking: I will use HAPI TCP/IP =
server
but I will probably extend Class Parser and implement my own parser that
would actually save the parsed messages/segment/fields to the database. =
Once
I am done with Storing the messages, Send user a +ve ack if the messages
were saved successfully or just send -ve if there was any database =
error.
Please suggest if there is a better way to do this.=20

Another thing I noticed that HAPI is restricted to start with '\u000b' =
and
end with '\u001c' + '\r'. Most of the people I work with, they have =
random
message delimiters but consistent within their facility, I mean they =
never
follow standards and I end up putting a fix for them to support  =
delimiters
that  machine/HL7 dispatcher send. I would like to implement something =
where
I should be able to define delimiter for a facility in property (XML) =
file
or a system property. Does that make sense? Has anybody worked on this? =
Any
suggestions? Hopefully I will be able to get some expert advice.
