Re: [HAPI-devel] Building message

[Steve H. <ste...@gm...>]

Sarah,

Yes, you can build HL7 messages.  You need to first decide which HL7
version you want to use and then instantiate a "message" object.  If
you selected 2.4, for example, you would then create an instance of a
class under the package "ca.uhn.hl7v2.model.v24.message".

Basically, you can only set values for individual fields, the
lowest-level parts of a message.  To get there, you have to step
through a message to a group (see the "group" package), then to a
segment.  (In fact, you may need to traverse through multiple groups
before reaching a segment.)  You can set values of fields within a
segment.
