As the existing GETTCP/ListenTCP NiFi processors are not supporting of Receiving and acknowlidging HL7 messages, I have created NiFi custom processor for receiving MLLP based HL7 message and sending acknowledgement. The custom processor works fine(output flow file has the same HL7 message which I sent from simulator) but when I send the received HL7 message to ExtractHL7Attributes processor I am getting error "ca.uhn.hl7v2.parser.EncodingNotSupportedException: Determine encoding for message." From the detailed error message below I thought that the MLLP Protocol's special characters (VT and FS) wrapping the HL7 message are causing the error So I replaced those from the code with the empty value. Then sent the flow through replace text for replacing the CR carriage return with \r\n and then the flow was sent to ExtractHL7Attributes processor. Here I am getting the same error which I mentioned below, except those special characters.
More details:
I am using the Sample HL7 message for testing my custom processor I am using iNTERFACEHL7 simulator (also tried with 7Edit trial version).
But the same HL7, which I sent through generate flow file is always working fine. Its extract the HL7 attributes and values. Even after removing the special characters and set the encoding character set to UTF-8 I am getting the below error. Can someone help me on what could be the issue? Uploaded my custom processor code and Flow:
