Step 2: Upload a Template

After we created the Template, it's time to upload it to EHRbase. The data format that is uploaded to an openEHR server like EHRbase is called an Operational Template (OPT-File). You can find an example of an OPT here.

For the REST endpoint that you can use in EHRbase to POST a template, please see this specification. On a local instance of EHRbase, the URL should be like localhost:8080/ehrbase/rest/openehr/v1/definition/template/adl1.4.

Copy the content of the OPT file into the body of the REST call. Make sure that the Content-Type attribute is set to application/XML. After the successful call, you should receive a 200 response code.

Client Library

As an alternative to directly using the REST API, the EHRbase Client Library provides functionality to upload a Template.

OPERATIONALTEMPLATE template = TemplateDocument.Factory.parse(OperationalTemplateTestData.BLOOD_PRESSURE_SIMPLE.getStream()).getTemplate();
String templateId = "ehrbase_blood_pressure_simple.de.v" + RandomStringUtils.randomNumeric(10);
template.getTemplateId().setValue(templateId);
String actual = new DefaultRestTemplateEndpoint(cut).upload(template);
