[HAPI-devel] how to TCP Client that doesn't send messages

[Lucila Armentano]

Hello,
I need to create a TCP Client for connecting to a server that automatically
sends Messages (ORU).
I couldn't do this by using de newClient() method of HapiContext, because
it only receives messages after sending one.

Is it possibly to create a client with a "Receiver" or some object that
stablish a client connection and waits a message from the server?

Thanks a lot

What you're describing is a Server not a Client. What you probably want is HL7Service, by using HapiContext.newServer()

For example usage see

Thanks but I need to connect to an analyzer that only accepts TCP Client
connections. I tested it with Hercules app, and when I connected Hercules
as a TCP client I started to receive ORU messages.

I was reading the HAPI doc and I believe that I could create a Receiver
over the client connection obtained with ctx.newClient()... , but I'm not
sure if I'm misunderstanding the Receiver class concept.

any suggestion?

Thanks,

You can create a broker that does what you need. In hl7 who sends is the
client.
