XML Conversion APIs

Chameleon has extensive capabilities in converting between traditional HL7 formats and XML. Using these APIs is quite simple from Java. The process involves:

• Instantiate a DynamicEngine object. This is required because the com.interfaceware.chameleon.Engine object has pure virtual methods and cannot be instantiated directly.
• Then load the message definition file.
• The XML conversion APIs can then be invoked from the com.interfaceware.chameleon.Engine object's interface.

A small example program can be generated from the New Project dialog called 'XML'.
