public class SimpleElement

extends HL7Element

Single Implementation for All Simple HL7 Data Types.

Description: HL7 Network Connectivity For VMDB.

Copyright: Copyright (c) 2002-2003.

Company: M&M Informatics.

This one class handles all the data types that consist of a single string. The actual type is set by the calling program with the constructor or setType() method. Validity checking is left to the calling routine.

Version:

Constructor Summary

SimpleElement()           Construct an Element using the name and type specified in its sNm and sRl constants.

SimpleElement(int iLevel)           Construct an Element using the name and type specified in its sNm and sRl constants.

SimpleElement(java.lang.String sName, java.lang.String sType)           Construct an Element of given name and type.

 

Method Summary
private  java.lang.String	deEscape(java.lang.String sIn)
boolean	empty()           Test to see if a value has been set for this simple element. This is the simplest case of the more complex empty() method inherited from HL7Element.
private  java.lang.String	escape(java.lang.String sIn)
HL7Element	getComponent(int iLoc)           Get component based on one based index position.
java.lang.String	getValue()           Get the value stored in this element as a simple string.
(package private)  boolean	readString(java.lang.String sElement)
void	setValue(java.lang.String sValue)           Set the value of this element.
int	size()           Return the number of components in this element. Because this is defined as a single string, the values returned are limite to zero if no value has been set or one if it has a value.
java.lang.String	toHL7String()           Output the value of this element as a string with HL7 escape sequences. This is the simplest case of the more general toString() inherited from HL7Object.
java.lang.String	toString()           Output the value of this element as a string. This is the simplest case of the more general toString() inherited from HL7Object.
java.lang.String	toXML(int iDepth)           Output the element as XML. Outputs the DOM element.

Field Detail

sValue

protected java.lang.String sValue

---

sNm

private java.lang.String sNm

---

sRl

private java.lang.String sRl

Constructor Detail

SimpleElement

public SimpleElement(int iLevel)

Construct an Element using the name and type specified in its sNm and sRl constants.

---

SimpleElement

public SimpleElement()

Construct an Element using the name and type specified in its sNm and sRl constants. And at the level of a Field.

---

SimpleElement

public SimpleElement(java.lang.String sName,
                     java.lang.String sType)

Construct an Element of given name and type.

Method Detail

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.String sValue)

Set the value of this element.

Overrides:

setValue in class HL7Element

---

getValue

public java.lang.String getValue()

Get the value stored in this element as a simple string.

Overrides:

getValue in class HL7Element

---

getComponent

public HL7Element getComponent(int iLoc)

Get component based on one based index position.

Overrides:

getComponent in class HL7Element

---

empty

public boolean empty()

Test to see if a value has been set for this simple element.

This is the simplest case of the more complex empty() method inherited from HL7Element.

Overrides:

empty in class HL7Element

---

size

public int size()

Return the number of components in this element.

Because this is defined as a single string, the values returned are limite to zero if no value has been set or one if it has a value. This is a simple case of the size() method inherited from HL7Element.

Overrides:

size in class HL7Element

---

readString

boolean readString(java.lang.String sElement)

Overrides:

readString in class HL7Element

---

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Output the value of this element as a string.

This is the simplest case of the more general toString() inherited from HL7Object. Ultimately all data end up expressed as SimpleElements and output here. The layers around just organize them via delimiters, XML tags, etc..

TODO: Check value for anything that needs to be converted to escape sequences.

Overrides:

toString in class HL7Element

---

toHL7String

public java.lang.String toHL7String()

Output the value of this element as a string with HL7 escape sequences.

This is the simplest case of the more general toString() inherited from HL7Object. Ultimately all data end up expressed as SimpleElements and output here.

Overrides:

toHL7String in class HL7Element

---

escape

private java.lang.String escape(java.lang.String sIn)

---

deEscape

private java.lang.String deEscape(java.lang.String sIn)

---

toXML

public java.lang.String toXML(int iDepth)

Output the element as XML.

Outputs the DOM element.

Overrides:

toXML in class HL7Element
