getPreferTypes

public List<Class<? extends IBaseResource>> getPreferTypes()

Description copied from interface: IParser

Gets the preferred types, as set using IParser.setPreferTypes(List)

Specified by:

getPreferTypes in interface IParser

Returns:

Returns the preferred types, or null

See Also:

• IParser.setPreferTypes(List)

setPreferTypes

public void setPreferTypes(List<Class<? extends IBaseResource>> thePreferTypes)

Description copied from interface: IParser

If set, when parsing resources the parser will try to use the given types when possible, in the order that they are provided (from highest to lowest priority). For example, if a custom type which declares to implement the Patient resource is passed in here, and the parser is parsing a Bundle containing a Patient resource, the parser will use the given custom type.

This feature is related to, but not the same as the FhirContext.setDefaultTypeForProfile(String, Class) feature. setDefaultTypeForProfile is used to specify a type to be used when a resource explicitly declares support for a given profile. This feature specifies a type to be used irrespective of the profile declaration in the metadata statement.

Specified by:

setPreferTypes in interface IParser

Parameters:

thePreferTypes - The preferred types, or null

getProfileTagsForEncoding

protected <T extends IPrimitiveType<String>>
List<T> getProfileTagsForEncoding(IBaseResource theResource,
 List<T> theProfiles)

getServerBaseUrl

protected String getServerBaseUrl()

getStripVersionsFromReferences

public Boolean getStripVersionsFromReferences()

Description copied from interface: IParser

If set to true (which is the default), resource references containing a version will have the version removed when the resource is encoded. This is generally good behaviour because in most situations, references from one resource to another should be to the resource by ID, not by ID and version. In some cases though, it may be desirable to preserve the version in resource links. In that case, this value should be set to false.

Specified by:

getStripVersionsFromReferences in interface IParser

Returns:

Returns the parser instance's configuration setting for stripping versions from resource references when encoding. This method will retun null if no value is set, in which case the value from the ParserOptions will be used (default is true)

See Also:

• ParserOptions

getSuppressNarratives

setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths

public IParser setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths(String... thePaths)

Description copied from interface: IParser

If supplied value(s), any resource references at the specified paths will have their resource versions encoded instead of being automatically stripped during the encoding process. This setting has no effect on the parsing process.

This method provides a finer-grained level of control than IParser.setStripVersionsFromReferences(Boolean) and any paths specified by this method will be encoded even if IParser.setStripVersionsFromReferences(Boolean) has been set to true (which is the default)

Specified by:

setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths in interface IParser

Parameters:

thePaths - A collection of paths for which the resource versions will not be removed automatically when serializing, e.g. "Patient.managingOrganization" or "AuditEvent.object.reference". Note that only resource name and field names with dots separating is allowed here (no repetition indicators, FluentPath expressions, etc.). Set to null to use the value set in the ParserOptions

Returns:

Returns a reference to this parser so that method calls can be chained together

See Also:

• IParser.setStripVersionsFromReferences(Boolean)
• ParserOptions

setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths

public IParser setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths(Collection<String> thePaths)

Description copied from interface: IParser

If supplied value(s), any resource references at the specified paths will have their resource versions encoded instead of being automatically stripped during the encoding process. This setting has no effect on the parsing process.

This method provides a finer-grained level of control than IParser.setStripVersionsFromReferences(Boolean) and any paths specified by this method will be encoded even if IParser.setStripVersionsFromReferences(Boolean) has been set to true (which is the default)

Specified by:

setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths in interface IParser

Parameters:

thePaths - A collection of paths for which the resource versions will not be removed automatically when serializing, e.g. "Patient.managingOrganization" or "AuditEvent.object.reference". Note that only resource name and field names with dots separating is allowed here (no repetition indicators, FluentPath expressions, etc.). Set to null to use the value set in the ParserOptions

Returns:

Returns a reference to this parser so that method calls can be chained together

See Also:

• IParser.setStripVersionsFromReferences(Boolean)
• ParserOptions

setOmitResourceId

public IParser setOmitResourceId(boolean theOmitResourceId)

Description copied from interface: IParser

If set to true (default is false) the ID of any resources being encoded will not be included in the output. Note that this does not apply to contained resources, only to root resources. In other words, if this is set to true, contained resources will still have local IDs but the outer/containing ID will not have an ID.

If the resource being encoded is a Bundle or Parameters resource, this setting only applies to the outer resource being encoded, not any resources contained wihthin.

Specified by:

setOmitResourceId in interface IParser

Parameters:

theOmitResourceId - Should resource IDs be omitted

Returns:

Returns a reference to this parser so that method calls can be chained together

setOverrideResourceIdWithBundleEntryFullUrl

public IParser setOverrideResourceIdWithBundleEntryFullUrl(Boolean theOverrideResourceIdWithBundleEntryFullUrl)

Description copied from interface: IParser

If set to true (which is the default), the Bundle.entry.fullUrl will override the Bundle.entry.resource's resource id if the fullUrl is defined. This behavior happens when parsing the source data into a Bundle object. Set this to false if this is not the desired behavior (e.g. the client code wishes to perform additional validation checks between the fullUrl and the resource id).

Specified by:

setOverrideResourceIdWithBundleEntryFullUrl in interface IParser

Parameters:

theOverrideResourceIdWithBundleEntryFullUrl - Set this to false to prevent the parser from overriding resource ids with the Bundle.entry.fullUrl (or null to apply the default setting from the ParserOptions)

Returns:

Returns a reference to this parser so that method calls can be chained together

See Also:

• ParserOptions

setParserErrorHandler

public IParser setParserErrorHandler(IParserErrorHandler theErrorHandler)

Description copied from interface: IParser

Registers an error handler which will be invoked when any parse errors are found

Specified by:

setParserErrorHandler in interface IParser

Parameters:

theErrorHandler - The error handler to set. Must not be null.

setServerBaseUrl

public IParser setServerBaseUrl(String theUrl)

Description copied from interface: IParser

Sets the server's base URL used by this parser. If a value is set, resource references will be turned into relative references if they are provided as absolute URLs but have a base matching the given base.

Specified by:

setServerBaseUrl in interface IParser

Parameters:

theUrl - The base URL, e.g. "http://example.com/base"

Returns:

Returns an instance of this parser so that method calls can be chained together

setStripVersionsFromReferences

public IParser setStripVersionsFromReferences(Boolean theStripVersionsFromReferences)

Description copied from interface: IParser

If set to true (which is the default), resource references containing a version will have the version removed when the resource is encoded. This is generally good behaviour because in most situations, references from one resource to another should be to the resource by ID, not by ID and version. In some cases though, it may be desirable to preserve the version in resource links. In that case, this value should be set to false.

This method provides the ability to globally disable reference encoding. If finer-grained control is needed, use IParser.setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths(String...)

Specified by:

setStripVersionsFromReferences in interface IParser

Parameters:

theStripVersionsFromReferences - Set this to false to prevent the parser from removing resource versions from references (or null to apply the default setting from the ParserOptions

Returns:

Returns a reference to this parser so that method calls can be chained together

See Also:

• IParser.setDontStripVersionsFromReferencesAtPaths(String...)
• ParserOptions

setSummaryMode

public IParser setSummaryMode(boolean theSummaryMode)
