public interface IBase extends Serializable
This interface is a simple marker for anything which is an HL7 structure of some kind. It is provided mostly to simplify convergence between the HL7.org structures and the HAPI ones.

  • Method Details

    • isEmpty

      boolean isEmpty()

    • hasFormatComment

      boolean hasFormatComment()
      Returns true if any comments would be returned by getFormatCommentsPre() or getFormatCommentsPost()
      Since:
      1.5

    • getFormatCommentsPre

      List<String> getFormatCommentsPre()
      Returns a list of comments appearing immediately before this element within the serialized form of the resource. Creates the list if it does not exist, so this method will not return null
      Since:
      1.5

    • getFormatCommentsPost

      List<String> getFormatCommentsPost()
      Returns a list of comments appearing immediately after this element within the serialized form of the resource. Creates the list if it does not exist, so this method will not return null
      Since:
      1.5

    • fhirType

      default String fhirType()
      Returns the FHIR type name for the given element, e.g. "Patient" or "unsignedInt"

    • getUserData

      Object getUserData​(String theName)
      Retrieves any user suplied data in this element

    • setUserData

      void setUserData​(String theName, Object theValue)
      Sets a user supplied data value in this element
