ASTM listener and protocol
I would like to write an ASTM listener and protocol parser to be incorporated into MIRTH. Can you help me get started on this? I think this would make a nice addition to MIRTH and enable it to handle a myriad of point-of-care devices as well as your general Lab Analyzers.
Thank you, Jim

No need to be snarky.
What do you need to know to get started? Have you checked out the source from SVN? What protocols/standards will your ASTM connector deal with? Do you even need a full connector for this standard?

I know nothing about ASTM, however I know that custom connectors like this can be done. A guy in our office has developed an XMPP connector which we are using every day. From what I remember he checked the source out, starting digging into the other connectors to see how they were created and went from there. I'll see if he has any more tips/tricks he can share.

You need to get your head around the standard you want to implement before getting too deep into Mirth Connect.
The ASTM I know is a standards body and the healthcare standard they drive is CCR. CCR is an XML based standard and you can do a lot in Mirth Connect with XML data already so you may not need a full blown connector to meet your goals, a channel and some code templates may be adequate. XMPP would require (or at least be a lot easier to work with) a custom connector since XMPP is not merely a message format but also defines a communication protocol. If you have access to this custom connector and the guy who wrote it, that is a great place to start! Once you have more specific questions, post back and the community will be here to help.

I realised a ASTM connection by using HL7 Channels.
It runs good. If you want to insert the parsed data in a database can store the message in the Database and parse it out of mirth.

In the ticket you mention support for low-level protocol which is already supported in Mirth using the LLP connector.
What does a ASTM message look like? If you have a a sample I could probably tell if it could be parsed as an hl7 message or not.

The ASTM low level protocol is not the same as the HL7 LLP. I will spend a bit more time tomorrow investigating the options for the LLP to see if it can be adapted, but the protocols are fundamentally different. I will also try to get you a sample message tomorrow.
