This Help is targeted toward the developers building HL7 interfaces into their applications. The MergeCOM-3™ Java HL7 Toolkit is a programmer's Application Programming Interface (API) for implementing HL7 interfaces. The major components of the toolkit include sending and receiving HL7 messages; encoding and decoding HL7 streams; translating messages (i.e., mappings); and sample utilities to demonstrate usage and provide useful applications.
Development Platform Requirements
The MergeCOM-3 Java HL7 Toolkit requires the Java™ 2 Platform Standard Edition Development Kit 5.0. Your developement environment (or at a minimum, your target environment) should run on a machine with one of the following operating systems:
Configuration
You can configure the toolkit through a configuration file or, at runtime, through the configuration API in the HL7Toolkit class.
At startup, the toolkit reads its configuration from the hl7toolkit.properties file located in the class path. If this properties file is missing, the toolkit uses default values for each configuration item. At runtime, an application can set or modify configuration items using the setProperties() method of the HL7Toolkit class. You can find a description of configuration items in the documentation of setProperties() method.
In addition to general configuration items, any items defined by the following classes can be defined at the toolkit level:
These items provide the default values for items not explicitly set in instances of the mentioned classes. All default values are documented in this reference, except for the license key which does not have a default and must always be set.
Libraries
The MergeCOM-3 Java HL7 Toolkit is composed of the main toolkit package and the HL7 standard library package.
The main package implements non version-specific HL7 functionalities. It includes all core HL7 functionalities for all version 2.x standards, such as sending and receiving HL7 messages, parsing, constructing segments and fields, and so on. It also includes some additional functionalities, such as logging and configuration, which are also non version-specific.
The HL7 Standard library package included with the toolkit contains v2.x compliant classes. These classes may be utilized for constructing segments and fields and enable developers to address segments and fields in a consistent manner. The Standard library has a dependency on the core toolkit library.
Distribution Structure for Java
The MergeCOM-3 Java HL7 Toolkit is distributed in the following folders and files:
Folder or File Description .settings, .classpath and .project Files of the Eclipse IDE project for building the samples. bin Contains compiled samples and scripts for launching them. For details, see The bin Folder. doc The doc folder contains the toolkit's documentation. lib Contains the HL7 standard libraries (hl7lib2xx.jar) and the main HL7 library (mc3hl7.jar). It also contains the default configuration file (HL7Toolkit.properties). src Contains the java source code for the samples. For details, see The src Folder . read_me Details the differences between versions of the toolkit. envsetup.bat Script that sets up the environment required to run the samples (Windows version). envsetup.sh Script that sets up the environment required to run the samples (UNIX version).The bin Folder
The bin folder contains the following files:
The src Folder
The src folder contains the following sample java source files:
