    • policyForReference

      ReferenceValidationPolicy policyForReference(IResourceValidator validator, Object appContext, String path, String url)
      Parameters:
      validator -
      appContext - What was originally provided from the app for it's context
      path - Path that led us to this resource.
      url - Url of the profile the container resource is being validated against.
      Returns:
      ReferenceValidationPolicy

    • policyForContained

      ContainedReferenceValidationPolicy policyForContained(IResourceValidator validator, Object appContext, StructureDefinition structure, ElementDefinition element, String containerType, String containerId, Element.SpecialElement containingResourceType, String path, String url)
      //TODO pass through the actual containing Element as opposed to the type, id
      Parameters:
      validator -
      appContext - What was originally provided from the app for it's context
      containerType - Type of the resources that contains the resource being validated
      containerId - Id of the resources that contains the resource being validated
      containingResourceType - Type of the resource that will be validated (BUNDLE_ENTRY, BUNDLE_OUTCOME, CONTAINED_RESOURCE, PARAMETER)
      path - Path that led us to this resource.
      url - Url of the profile the container resource is being validated against.
      Returns:
      ReferenceValidationPolicy

    • policyForResource

      EnumSet<IValidationPolicyAdvisor.ResourceValidationAction> policyForResource(IResourceValidator validator, Object appContext, StructureDefinition type, String path)

    • policyForElement

      EnumSet<IValidationPolicyAdvisor.ElementValidationAction> policyForElement(IResourceValidator validator, Object appContext, StructureDefinition structure, ElementDefinition element, String path)

    • policyForCodedContent

      EnumSet<IValidationPolicyAdvisor.CodedContentValidationAction> policyForCodedContent(IResourceValidator validator, Object appContext, String stackPath, ElementDefinition definition, StructureDefinition structure, BindingKind kind, IValidationPolicyAdvisor.AdditionalBindingPurpose purpose, ValueSet valueSet, List<String> systems)
      Called before validating a concept in an instance against the terminology sub-system There's two reasons to use this policy advisor feature: - save time by not calling the terminology server for validation that don't bring value to the context calling the validation - suppressing known issues from being listed as a problem Note that the terminology subsystem has two parts: a mini-terminology server running inside the validator, and then calling out to an external terminology service (usually tx.fhir.org, though you run your own local copy of this - see https://confluence.hl7.org/display/FHIR/Running+your+own+copy+of+tx.fhir.org). You can't tell which subsystem will handle the terminology validation directly from the content provided here which subsystem will be called - you'll haev to investigate based on your set up. (matters, since it makes a huge performance difference, though it also depends on caching, and the impact of caching is also not known at this point)
      Parameters:
      validator -
      appContext - What was originally provided from the app for it's context
      stackPath - The current path for the stack. Note that the because of cross-references and FHIRPath conformsTo() statements, the stack can wind through the content unpredictably.
      definition - the definition being validated against (might be useful: ElementDefinition.base.path, ElementDefinition.type, ElementDefinition.binding
      structure - The structure definition that contains the element definition being validated against (may be from the base spec, may be from a profile)
      kind - The part of the binding being validated
      valueSet - The value set for the binding part that's being validated
      systems - A list of canonical URls (including versions if known) of the systems in the instance that's being validated. Note that if a plain code is being validated, then there'll be no known system when this is called (systems will be empty, not null)
      Returns:
      CodedContentValidationPolicy

    • getImpliedProfilesForResource

      List<StructureDefinition> getImpliedProfilesForResource(IResourceValidator validator, Object appContext, String stackPath, ElementDefinition definition, StructureDefinition structure, Element resource, boolean valid, IMessagingServices msgServices, List<org.hl7.fhir.utilities.validation.ValidationMessage> messages)
      This is called after a resource has been validated against the base structure, but before it's validated against any profiles specified in .meta.profile or in the parameters. This can be used to determine what additional profiles should be applied, for instance those derived from the http://hl7.org/fhir/tools/StructureDefinition/profile-mapping extension Note that the resource is an elementModel resource, not an IBaseResource. This is less convenient to read values from, but is the way the internals of the validator works (e.g. the version of the resource might be any version from R2-R6) The base implementation applies the mandatory vital signs to observations that have LOINC or SNOMED CT codes that indicate that they are vital signs. Note that these profiles are not optional; all vital sign resources are required to conform to them. For this reason, if you're providing your own policy advisor, you should keep a reference to the default one, or call BasePolicyAdvisorForFullValidation directly. You can choose not to, but if you do, you are allowing for resources that deviate from the FHIR specification (in a way that the community considers clinically unsafe, since it means that software (probably) will miss vital signs for patients).
      Parameters:
      validator -
      appContext - What was originally provided from the app for it's context
      stackPath - The current path for the stack. Note that the because of cross-references and FHIRPath conformsTo() statements, the stack can wind through the content unpredictably.
      definition - the definition being validated against (might be useful: ElementDefinition.base.path, ElementDefinition.type, ElementDefinition.binding
      structure - The structure definition that contains the element definition being validated against (may be from the base spec, may be from a profile)
      resource - The actual resource (as an element model) so that the implementation can inspect the values in order to decide what profiles to apply
      valid - true if the resource is so far considered valid
      messages - all the validation messages. Implementations can inspect this, but the real purpose is to populate the messages with information messages explaining why profiles were (or weren't) applied
      Returns:
