Answer 1

It seems you forgot to add Hapi library to your build. If you using maven you just need to add appropriate maven dependencies as described here http://hl7api.sourceforge.net/using_maven.html

<!-- This is the core HAPI library -->
<dependency>
        <groupId>ca.uhn.hapi</groupId>
        <artifactId>hapi-base</artifactId>
        <version>${hapi.version.stable}</version>
</dependency>       

<!-- This is the structure JAR for HL7 v2.1 -->
<dependency>
        <groupId>ca.uhn.hapi</groupId>
        <artifactId>hapi-structures-v21</artifactId>
        <version>${hapi.version.stable}</version>
</dependency>

<!-- 
        If you want to use log4j for logging (recommended), you should include
        it, as well as the slf4j adaptor
-->
<dependency>
        <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
        <version>${slf4j.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
        <groupId>log4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
        <version>${log4j.version}</version>
</dependency>

<!-- 
        Also add hapi-structures-v22, v23, etc. depending on which versions 
        of HL7 you need to create or parse 
-->     
<dependency>
        <groupId>ca.uhn.hapi</groupId>

        <version>${hapi.version.stable}</version>
