Triggering calls from referenceapplication.registrationapp.registerPatient

Development

Hi all,

Building on my prior question re. triggering ADT generation from an HTML form[0], we are also asked to trigger other custom code via the patient registration app in the refapp (referenceapplication.registrationapp.registerPatient). I understand that we can edit these JSON scripts, but has anyone any expertise in triggering an action from these apps? Any prior examples would be very useful!

How about doing AOP for the PatientService.savePatient() method?

You could also use the event module to catch saves to the database at the Hibernate level. It’s built off of JMS and can work via:

At some point in the application:

Event.subscribe(Patient.class, Event.Action.CREATED.toString(), patientListener);

Where patientListener looks something like this:

class PatientListener implements EventListener {

    @Override
    public void onMessage(Message message) {
        String uuid = ((MapMessage) message).getString("uuid");
        Patient patient = patientService.getPatientByUuid(uuid);
        
        // Nifty ADT generating stuff goes here
    }
}

… or just a plain Hibernate interceptor. We did that in one of our impls to associate patients to locations ahead of location filtering with Data Filter.
