Hello,
We re-wrote an hl7 interface to use a .net app instead of CF, as doing so in CF proved unreliable. Check out the software from Symphonia to add some great .dll's to your .net app for message processing.
We use the .net app to save the message into a table, acknowledge the message etc. Once its in the database it just text in a big string...
BUT, poking around I found some old code from many many many years ago when it was attempted within CF ( not my code, or know who to attribute):
it may provide some inspiration. this code took the message and other code saved the string into the database...
but stil I would recommned against doing it in cf
<cfscript>
function createsocket(port) {
// Create a server socket, and start listening.
// get a socket object
getsocket = CreateObject("java", "java.net.ServerSocket");
try{
getsocket.init(port);
// wait for external connection
socket = getsocket.accept();
}
// If socket pre-exists from a previous program failure, attempt to connect to it, rather than create it.
// This code does not actually seem to connect, but does result in the socket dying within about 15 seconds
// so that the next invocation of this program can run cleanly.
// A restart of the CF application service will also kill any leftover sockets.
catch (any excpt) {
socket = CreateObject("java", "java.net.Socket");
socket.init('127.0.0.1',port);
}
// get an InputStreamReader object
inputsr = CreateObject("java", "java.io.InputStreamReader");
// call the InputStreamReader constructor
inputsr.init(socket.getInputStream());
// get a BufferedReader object
input = CreateObject("java", "java.io.BufferedReader");
// call the BufferedReader constructor
input.init(inputsr);
// get a PrintWriter object
printWriter = CreateObject("java", "java.io.PrintWriter");
// call the PrintWriter constructor
printWriter.init(socket.getOutputStream(), true);
return 'OK';
}
function getMsg() {
// Read a complete HL7 message from the socket.
f_hl7_msg = input.readLine();
while (input.ready())
{
f_hl7_msg = f_hl7_msg & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & input.readLine();
}
return f_hl7_msg;
}
function sendAck(msg_id, src, resp) {
// Construct and Send the ACK
thistime = DateFormat(Now(),'yyyymmdd') & TimeFormat(Now(),'HHmmss');
msg_seg = 'MSH|^~\&|' &
src & '|' &
'|' &
resp & '|' &
'|' &
thistime & '|' &
'|' &
'ACK' & '|' &
msg_id & '|' &
'P' & '|' &
'2.3.1' & '||||';
msa_seg = 'MSA' & '|' &
'AA' & '|' &
msg_id & '|' &
'Message Processed Successfully';
hl7_ack = CHR(11) &
msg_seg & CHR(13) &
msa_seg & CHR(13) &
CHR(28) & CHR(13);
printWriter.println(hl7_ack);
}
function closePort() {
printWriter.close();
input.close();
socket.close();
}
</cfscript>
