about the HL7 documentation ?

[stephane.wirtel@…]

Do you have the documentation about each segment of hl7 ?

There are differences between 2.4 and 2.5, and with 3.0 ( I believe that it will be based on XML ).

I worked with an implementation of HL7 based on SOAP :d

I do have the hl7 docs, 3.x is xml-based. I didn't implement per-version field differences initially because I hadn't actually run into a case where it made a difference. It should probably be supported anyway. 3.x support is waiting on write-support in my little fastxml library, though I supposed it could be started using Hpricot. Rexml is just waay to slow for message processing.

I don't know fastxml, is there a reference to it ?

I think there are xml schema files, you can parse them, and generate your segments from this documentation ?

Best Regards,

I'm writing it :), it's just an hpricot-like way to use libxml. Generating the segment definitions isn't too bad from that perspective, it's parsing the messages and providing a translation interface. I haven't taken a real look at the spec yet. Feel free to get it going tho.
