Interface IWorkerContext

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseWorkerContext, HapiWorkerContext, SimpleWorkerContext

public interface IWorkerContext

This is the standard interface used for access to underlying FHIR services through the tools and utilities provided by the reference implementation. The functionality it provides is - get access to parsers, validators, narrative builders etc (you can't create these directly because they need access to the right context for their information) - find resources that the tools need to carry out their tasks - provide access to terminology services they need. (typically, these terminology service requests are just passed through to the local implementation's terminology service)

Method Details

Get the versions of the definitions loaded in context

Returns:

getUcumService

org.fhir.ucum.UcumService getUcumService()

getParser

IParser getParser(ParserType type)

Get a parser to read/write instances. Use the defined type (will be extended as further types are added, though the only currently anticipate type is RDF) XML/JSON - the standard renderers XHTML - render the narrative only (generate it if necessary)

Parameters:

type -

Returns:

getParser

IParser getParser(String type)

Get a parser to read/write instances. Determine the type from the stated type. Supported value for type: - the recommended MIME types - variants of application/xml and application/json - _format values xml, json

fetchResource

<T extends Resource> T fetchResource(Class<T> class_,
 String uri)

Find an identified resource. The most common use of this is to access the the standard conformance resources that are part of the standard - structure definitions, value sets, concept maps, etc. Also, the narrative generator uses this, and may access any kind of resource The URI is called speculatively for things that might exist, so not finding a matching resouce, return null, not an error The URI can have one of 3 formats: - a full URL e.g. http://acme.org/fhir/ValueSet/[id] - a relative URL e.g. ValueSet/[id] - a logical id e.g. [id] It's an error if the second form doesn't agree with class_. It's an error if class_ is null for the last form

Parameters:

resource -
