In one of our spring boot apps used in Springcloud dataflow streams, we are currently using HapiContext to construct a new HL7 client and establish a connection out of it to send HL7 messages to a TCP host and port.

@Autowired
HapiContext context;

Connection connection = context.newClient(host, Integer.parseInt(port), false);
 
// The initiator which will be used to transmit our message
    Initiator initiator = connection.getInitiator();

    Message response = initiator.sendAndReceive(adtMessage);

Currently we are not using SSL/TLS for this connection and call. but we now have a requirement such that the call should be changed to an SSL based one.

I have tried doing a lot of searches on the Internet, but I am not able to find any documentation on how to achieve this.

Is there anyway to get this done?

How are you creating the HapiContext?

The DefaultHapiContext seems to provide for creating a client with a tls parameter.

lookup for the ca.uhn.hl7v2.hoh.sockets.CustomCertificateTlsSocketFactory, this should have createClientSocket which will add the SSL context necessary
