Parsing FHIR Bundles In Java using JSON

Question

I am not able to parse the incoming Bundle request (JSON) to the Java data objcets. It seems that the parser does not recognize the "resourceType": "Bundle". Parser fails on if (json.has("feed")) statement of JsonParserBase. I have also tried using "resourceType": "feed" but no luck.

Java implementation does not gives a concrete parser whereas it is available for .NET version. My application is Java based and it is not able to recognize the incoming Bundle request. I am using org.hl7.fhir.instance.formats.JsonParser's parseGeneral() method.

Are there any third party parsers available or I am missing any thing?

Answer 1

This is a bug in the Java parser that I fixed a few hours before you asked the question. You can get the latest fixed parser from the FHIR gForge (see http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=FHIR_Build_Process for access), and we are working on new releases (at http://hl7.org/fhir and through maven).

Not sure what this means: "Java implementation does not gives a concrete parser whereas it is available for .NET version". I think the Java parser is concrete. In this case, it was just wrong.
