@James Agnew wondering if your java implementation does any fancy stuff with the polymorphic types like MedicationOrder.Medication (which can be a codableConcept or a resource reference)

Brian Postlethwaite (Apr 02 2016 at 08:27):

Wondering if you add extra non serializing helper properties of the appropriate cast like medicationCodeableConcept and medicationReference (or something like this)

James Agnew (Apr 02 2016 at 16:08):

Well, there are a bunch of getters for things like this, but they aren't fancy at all. Just helpers to take care of casting really.

    public Type getMedication();

    public CodeableConcept getMedicationCodeableConcept();

    public boolean hasMedicationCodeableConcept();

    public Reference getMedicationReference();

    public boolean hasMedicationReference();

    public boolean hasMedication();

Getters only? Not properties that do the casting both ways?

James Agnew (Apr 03 2016 at 14:07):

There's also a

public void setMedication(Type theMedication);

..which handles either case. I guess it might be a good idea to have two specific setters too, but at this point we don't have that. Do you have something more fancy in mind for .NET?
