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 canonical resources,terminology services, and validator (you can't create a validator directly because it needs 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

    • getVersion

      String getVersion()
      Get the version of the definitions loaded in context This *does not* have to be 5.0 (R5) - the context can load other versions
      Returns:

    • getUcumService

      org.fhir.ucum.UcumService getUcumService()
      Get the UCUM service that provides access to units of measure reasoning services This service might not be available
      Returns:

    • setUcumService

      void setUcumService(org.fhir.ucum.UcumService ucumService)

    • newValidator

      IResourceValidator newValidator() throws org.hl7.fhir.exceptions.FHIRException
      Get a validator that can check whether a resource is valid
      Returns:
      a prepared generator
      Throws:
      org.hl7.fhir.exceptions.FHIRException

    • 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 resource, 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 class can be Resource, DomainResource or CanonicalResource, which means resource of all kinds
      Parameters:
      resource -
      Reference -
      Returns:
      Throws:
      org.hl7.fhir.exceptions.FHIRException

      Throws:
      org.hl7.fhir.exceptions.FHIRException

    • fetchResourceWithException

    • fetchResource

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

      T -
      Parameters:
      class_ -
      uri -
      canonicalForSource -
      Returns:

    • fetchResourcesByType

      <T extends Resource> List<T> fetchResourcesByType(Class<T> class_)
      Fetch all the resources of a particular type. if class == (null | Resource | DomainResource | CanonicalResource) return everything
      Type Parameters:
      T -
      Parameters:
      class_ -
      uri -
      canonicalForSource -
      Returns:

    • fetchResourceById

      Resource fetchResourceById(String type, String uri)
      Variation of fetchResource when you have a string type, and don't need the right class 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] if type == null, the URI can't be a simple logical id
      Parameters:
      type -
      uri -
      Returns:

    • hasResource

      <T extends Resource> boolean hasResource(Class<T> class_, String uri)
      find whether a resource is available. Implementations of the interface can assume that if hasResource ruturns true, the resource will usually be fetched subsequently
      Parameters:
      class_ -
      uri -
      Returns:

    • cacheResource

      void cacheResource(Resource res) throws org.hl7.fhir.exceptions.FHIRException
      cache a resource for later retrieval using fetchResource. Note that various context implementations will have their own ways of loading rseources, and not all need implement cacheResource. If the resource is loaded out of a package, call cacheResourceFromPackage instead
      Parameters:
      res -
      Throws:
      org.hl7.fhir.exceptions.FHIRException

    • cacheResourceFromPackage

      void cacheResourceFromPackage(Resource res, PackageInformation packageInfo) throws org.hl7.fhir.exceptions.FHIRException
      cache a resource for later retrieval using fetchResource. The package information is used to help manage the cache internally, and to help with reference resolution. Packages should be define using cachePackage (but don't have to be) Note that various context implementations will have their own ways of loading rseources, and not all need implement cacheResource
      Parameters:
      res -
      Throws:
      org.hl7.fhir.exceptions.FHIRException

    • cachePackage

      void cachePackage(PackageInformation packageInfo)
