How to call Ensemble/IRIS built-in HL7 V2 webservice - Java, PB9, Delphi7 samples

1. Summary

There are still legacy systems in the healthcare industry that use PB9, Delphi7, and other languages. To speed up the development process and enable third party applications to invoke the build-in HL7 V2 webservice provided by Ensemble or IRIS ASAP, we provide here several examples of invocations of Ensemble's HL7 V2 SOAP interface using Java, PB9 and Delphi7.

Assuming that EnsLib.HL7.Service.SOAPService.CLS, a build-in Business Service, is added to Production and named PeiXunHl7SoapIn, the external system can access HL7 V2 SOAP webservice through the following endpoint.

http://localhost:57772/csp/peixunpro/EnsLib.HL7.Service.SOAPService.CLS?CfgItem=PeiXunHl7SoapIn

CfgItem=PeiXunHl7SoapIn is an important parameter, PeiXunHl7SoapIn is the name of your BS.

With the parameter CfgItem, you can access SOAP interfaces that are deployed by the same Business Service class, but exposed under different names. For example, adding another SOAP Business Service with the same name V2Service, then accessing through the endpoint

http://localhost:57772/csp/peixunpro/EnsLib.HL7.Service.SOAPService.CLS?CfgItem=V2Service

will brought to the newly added Business Service.

Examples accessing this SOAP interface using Java, PB9 and Delphi7 are shown in the next section. Other languages without examples can also call the V2 SOAP Webservice via such an endpoint.

Tip: Pay attention to the definition of HL7 V2 Segment separator in various languages, which is marked in the following code examples, e.g. PB uses char(13)+char(10) as carriage return, and Delphi uses #13+#10 for line break.
