Smooks for X12 EDI?

[abhishek jain]

Hi Friends,
I am implementing Amazon vendor central which used EDI X12 and i came to know of smooks.
After reading doc available i am not sure if we can do it using smooks i mean EDI -> Java and vice versa,
I need some advice on it, can anyone help me please and tell me if this is possible and if possible some code samples for this transformation or point me to some doc,

If this is not possible in smooks some other library one might suggest?
thanks
abhishek jain

Companies have definitely used Smooks to process X12 messages. We were never able to provide something similar to the UNEDIFACT definitions simply because the X12 standard is not open. If you search the email archives you should be able to find individuals that can help with X12.

HI Abhishek,

 

We have implemented X12 -> Java in one of our mappings.

As stated by Tom, it is definitely possible.

 

We have used the maven-ejc-plugin and defined our own custom ediMappingFile. You can find more information here; http://www.smooks.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=V1.2:ejc

 

Kind regards,

Martin de Jong.

Hello Martin and Tom,
Thanks for replies,

I am trying to create custom edi mapping files, i am a total newbie to EDIs, Can you please guide me to a document or so for creating such a mapping. I am looking to create x12 850 mapping for amazon vendor central. I have a field specification document from amazon.

Is there a better opensource alternative to smooks for such purpose ?

thanks
abhishek

Hi Abhishek. Afraid I've no experience of X12 myself but perhaps Martin can help. There was also a guy named David M. Llyod (may have the spelling wrong). You could try find him in the email archives.

Hi Abhishek,

I have similar issue for X12 EDI 270/271 as i've not found any open xsd to map.
So could you please help me in any way if you have somehow transformed any x12 EDI.

Thank You.

Have you searched the emails on this list and on the old legacy lists? What you need to do is find people that have done this (which there are a few) and contact them directly yourself and hope they have the mappings you can use. X12 is proprietary, so can't be published here.

Hello,
Can anyone please tell me how can i get the X12 schemas for some of the edi versions? For using smooks, i dont want to make custom schemas each time, because the input X12 document can be of many different versions. so i want to have different schemas, for some of the versions which are mainly used

Thanks

X12 is definitely popular but the schemas can't be made open-source for reasons listed in this thread. If you want to avoid hand-crafting the schemas, you could generate the DFDL schemas from the X12 implementation guides. It's not trivial to get it right but the X12 guides are much easier to parse than the EDIFACT ones. A less painful alternative is to write a single general-purpose DFDL schema for the EDI cartridge that accepts any segment and data element. It depends on your use-case. For sure, the latter has less in-built validation and it could be harder to navigate the data (e.g., loops).

While we're discussing this topic, if someone from the community is developing an X12 DFDL schema generator and would like to contribute, then please let us know! We can not publish X12 DFDL schemas for copyright reasons but presumably the generator can be published.
