Method Detail

createReferenceValueFrom

public static ReferenceValue createReferenceValueFrom(Reference ref,
                                                      String baseUrl)

Processes a Reference value from the FHIR model and interprets it according to https://www.hl7.org/fhir/references.html#2.3.0

Absolute literal references will be converted to relative references if their base matches baseUrl.

The resulting ReferenceValue will contained an inferred ReferenceType and the structure of the ReferenceValue.value will vary accordingly:

1. LITERAL_RELATIVE: the id of the referenced resource
2. LITERAL_ABSOLUTE: the full URI of the reference
3. LOGICAL: the Identifier.value (Identifier.system is not presently stored)
4. DISPLAY_ONLY: null
5. INVALID: null

Parameters:

ref - a non-null FHIR Reference object

baseUrl - the base URL used to determine whether to convert absolute references to relative references

Returns:

a structured representation of the reference value that varies by its inferred reference type

createReferenceValueFrom

public static ReferenceValue createReferenceValueFrom(String refValue,
                                                      String refType,
                                                      String baseUrl)

Processes the string value of a Reference object from the FHIR model and interprets it according to https://www.hl7.org/fhir/references.html#2.3.0

Absolute literal references will be converted to relative references if their base matches baseUrl.

The resulting ReferenceValue will contain an inferred ReferenceType and the structure of the ReferenceValue.value will vary accordingly:

1. LITERAL_RELATIVE: the id of the referenced resource
2. LITERAL_ABSOLUTE: the full URI of the reference
3. INVALID: null

Parameters:

refValue - a reference value string

refType - a reference resource type (used for LITERAL_ABSOLUTE only)

baseUrl - the base URL used to determine whether to convert absolute references to relative references

Returns:

a structured representation of the reference value that varies by its inferred reference type

getBaseUrl

public static String getBaseUrl(Bundle.Entry entry)
                         throws FHIRSearchException

Extract the base URL from the bundle entry if one is given, otherwise use the service base URL.

Parameters:

entry - , can be null

Returns:

the base URL for use in interpreting references

Throws:

FHIRSearchException

getBaseUrlFromBundle

public static String getBaseUrlFromBundle(Bundle.Entry entry)
                                   throws FHIRSearchException

https://www.hl7.org/fhir/references.html#literal See: a relative URL, which is relative to the Service Base URL, or, if processing a resource from a bundle, which is relative to the base URL implied by the Bundle.entry.fullUrl (see Resolving References in Bundles) If the fullUrl looks like this "fullUrl": "https://localhost:9443/fhir-server/api/v4/Observation/17546b5a5a9-872ecfe4-cb5e-4f8c-a381-5b13df536f87" then the returned String will look like this: "https://localhost:9443/fhir-server/api/v4/"

Parameters:

entry -

Returns:

Throws:

FHIRSearchException

getServiceBaseUrl

public static String getServiceBaseUrl()
                                throws FHIRSearchException

Get the service base URL using the originalRequestUri currently set in the FHIRRequestContext

Parameters:

bundle -

Returns:

the base url

Throws:

FHIRSearchException

getServiceBaseUrl

public static String getServiceBaseUrl(String uri)
                                throws FHIRSearchException

Get the service base URL from the given uri

Parameters:

uri -

Returns:

Throws:
