I am using the data types library in a project that creates specific CDA instances.

When serialising a ST data type to XML then something along the lines of the following is obtained :

Code:
<title representation="TXT" mediaType="text/plain" language="en-US">text value is here</title>


When using ST data types I am not used to seeing the attributes shown, in fact I am trying to get rid of them, so I simply get

Code:
<title>text value is here</title>


Is there a way of achieving this without having to change the formatter code?

thanks

Hello,

Unfortunately there is no way to remove these attributes in the current public release of Everest. This is because the R1 data types formater was modeled after the Canadian and NE2008 data type schemas.

After looking at the formatter code for ST it appears that it simply calls the ED formatter after setting the media type, this is probably because the data types R1 schema references ST as a restriction of ED where mediaType is fixed to text/plain and representation is fixed to TXT.

It appears that language can be overridden by setting Language to null after constructing the ST instance (this is a bug with the ST data type). I will see about adding a CDA compatibility mode for the new Data Types R1 formatter for Everest 1.0


Cheers

Thanks for the quick reply Justin, appreciate it.

I am going to be using the API in anger over the next month or so, so might be back here from time to time to post questions, report issues etc. Is this the most appropriate place to do this?

Thanks again

This forum is good for posting questions. If the need arises we can always promote a question to the Issue list on the Everest page.

There are some "internal" snapshots for Everest which we post internally on the 1.0 page:

I have added an issue to our tracking system and will promote a snapshot of the 1.0 codebase when the feature request is implemented.

Cheers
