[Deprecated] Gazelle HL7 Validator - Installation & Configuration
Warning: This documentation is out-dated, newest version of the documentation is available at https://gazelle.ihe.net/gazelle-documentation
Sources & binaries
To get the name of the latest release, visit the Gazelle HL7 Validator project in JIRA and consult the "Change log" section.
A maven artifact is published in our Nexus repository each time we release the application. You can use it, but be aware that the link to the database is hardly expressed within the artifact so you will have to use the same database name, hosted in the server running Jboss, and with the same owner (and password).
To get the artifact on Nexus browse: http://gazelle.ihe.net/nexus/index.html#nexus-search;gav~~GazelleHL7v2Validator-ear~~~ and download the latest version.
If you rather want to build the project by yourself, you must checkout the latest tag and package it. You may want to create a new profile to customize your build.
1. Checkout the latest tag available on Inria’s forge: svn co https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/gazelle/Maven/GazelleHL7v2Validator/tags/GazelleHL7v2Validator-$versionName
2. [Optional] Edit the pom.xml file and create a new profile
3. Package the application: mvn [-P profile] clean package
4. The EAR is available at GazelleHL7v2Validator/GazelleHL7v2Validator-ear/target/GazelleHL7v2Validator.ear
Database configuration
If you use the artifact available on Nexus or if you have not change this parameter in the pom.xml file, create a database named gazelle-hl7-validator, owned by the user gazelle.
$> createdb -U gazelle -E UTF8 gazelle-hl7-validator
Get xsd files
//TODO
Deploy the application
Copy EAR to the deploy folder of JBoss (do not forget to change its name to GazelleHL7v2Validator.ear)
Start Jboss ⇒ sudo service jboss start
Wait until the application has been completly deployed and configure the database running the SQL script for set-up.
Initialize the application
You first need to initialize the database with some data available in a SQL script. If you have checked out the project, the script is available in GazelleHL7v2Validator-ear/src/main/sql/import.sql
Otherwise, download it from Inria’s forge (See Sources section)
Before executing the script, open the file and checked the various preferences to be inserted in the app_configuration table, especially the cas_url, application_url and other preferences relative to the user authentication (see Application configuration section). Context path for deployment is /GazelleHL7Validator.
Finally, execute the script:
$> >psql -U gazelle gazelle-hl7-validator < import.sql
To take those parameters into account, you need to restart either the whole Jboss ($>sudo service jboss restart), either only the application ($>touch GazelleHL7v2Validator.ear in the deploy folder of Jboss)
Application configuration
Use the Administration menu, you will find a sub-menu entitled "Configure application preferences". The following preferences must be updated according to the configuration of your system. The table below summarizes the variables used by the Gazelle HL7 Validator tool.

HL7MessageProfiles and HL7 resources are XML files displayed with a stylesheet declared in the file and referenced on gazelle.ihe.net.
