Slice and Profile with HAPI FHIR

[Henry Ungaro]

Hello, hope your doing well.
I'm studying HAPI FHIR and FHIR in general, and i stumbled across Slicing and Profiling a existing resource to adapt to a new situation. But i'm not sure if i am making it correctly and i'll be very greatefull if someone can shed a light.
I'm using Eclipse and Docker(smartonfhir image) with a version of Hapi Fhir using R5
My questions are:
 * Do i need to change the database to make new profiles/slices?
 * Is there a must to be a StructureDefinition hosted in a server? (aside from validating it)
 * Is there a guide on profile and slicing?

 *Is there a way to change the dabase using the hibernate do deal with the creation of new profiles?
 *Is there a guide for the annotations?

If needed i'll gladly share my java classes.
Thanks.

Developing profiles (especially using slicing) for validation is fully supported by HAPI FHIR, but it's also a huge subject. If you're having trouble developing a specific profile, you may have better luck asking on chat.fhir.org, as this is less of a HAPI topic and more of a general FHIR topic. HL7.org offers some excellent training courses on the subject too, which might be helpful.

To answer the HAPI questions though:

You do not need to change the database in order to use these features, they are supported on any supported database (per the list in our documentation). The annotations used in plain servers are also covered in documentation.

Cheers,

James

Thank you very much, I may have missed that in the documentation files, i'll try to ask in the chat.fhir and check the documentations
