[HAPI-devel] TN datatype validation

[efreed <ef...@ne...>]

Hi,


I am having a minor problem with bad TN (phone number) data types in 
incoming messages. The comments of CommonTN.java say:


This class normally performs validation of the phone number format 
according to the above rules.
However this feature can be turned off by setting the system property
"ca.uhn.hl7v2.model.primitive.CommonTN.validate" to "FALSE".  This must 
be set before construction
time to have an effect.

--but what is "construction time"? I assume it is not compile time. 
Perhaps the time the message is built from scratch? But how do I set it 
for parsing an incoming file?

Many thanks
