Using HAPI Java client with Aidbox FHIR Server

This example demonstrates how to use the HAPI FHIR Java client library to create a patient resource in Aidbox.

Prerequisites

• Java
• Maven
• Docker and Docker Compose

Setup and Run

1. Run and activate Aidbox by following the Getting Started Guide

2. Create a Client and an Access Policy

Navigate to REST Console in Aidbox UI and execute the following requests:

POST /fhir/Client
content-type: application/json
accept: application/json

{
  "secret": "secret",
  "grant_types": [
    "basic"
  ],
  "id": "basic",
  "resourceType": "Client"
}

POST /fhir/AccessPolicy
content-type: application/json
accept: application/json

{
  "link": [
    {
      "reference": "Client/basic"
    }
  ],
  "engine": "allow",
  "id": "basic-policy",
  "resourceType": "AccessPolicy"
}

3. Build and Run the Java Application

mvn clean compile exec:java

What the Application Does

1. Connects to Aidbox running on http://localhost:8080
2. Uses basic authentication with the basic client credentials
3. Creates a sample patient with:
   • Name: John Doe
   • Birth date: January 15, 1990
   • Gender: Male
4. Retrieves the created patient to verify the operation
