SwiftMessage (Prowide Core API Reference)

All Implemented Interfaces:

JsonSerializable, java.io.Serializable
```
public class SwiftMessage
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, JsonSerializable
```
Base class for swift messages.
This class is a generic data structure container for SWIFT messages.
This is a low level java representation of an MT. If you are looking for a class more suitable to be persisted see MtSwiftMessage
Instances of this class may have a list of unparsed texts (UnparsedTextList). For easy access, methods have been created that first ensure the lists exists (the real object is created and then call the base method).
However, not all the base list methods have been implemented. If you need to use not exposed functionality, retrieve the underlying list with (see getUnparsedTexts method).

  - parse
```
public static SwiftMessage parse(java.lang.String fin)
                          throws java.io.IOException
```
    Parses a the string content into a SwiftMessage.
    If the file contains more than a message it will parse the first one. If the string is empty, does not contain any MT message, the message type is not set or an error occurs reading and parsing the message content; this method returns null.
    The implementation uses the default parser behavior which is lenient and will do a best effort to read as much from the message content as possible regardless of the content and block boundaries being valid or not. For instance, it will read the headers even if the value length is incorrect, and it will read the text block (block 4) even if it is missing the closing hyphen and bracket. For more options check SwiftParser.setConfiguration(SwiftParserConfiguration)
    
    Parameters:
    
    fin - string a string containing a swift MT message
    
    Returns:
    
    parser message or null if string content could not be parsed
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if an error occurs in the parser during reading

```
    Gets MUR (Message User Reference) from field 108.

Moreover, system messages such as the MT011 could have the mandatory reconciliation MUR in the block 4, but also another MUR in the optional user header block (block 3), in such cases the returned MUR is the one in the block 4.
    Order of precedence for MUR extraction is block 4, then block 3.
    The MUR is the Message User Reference used by applications for reconciliation with ACK. It is a free-format field in which users may specify their own reference of up to 16 characters of the permitted character set.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of field 108 if found, or null when not found neither in block 4 o block 3

```
public SwiftMessage setMUR(java.lang.String mur)
```
    Sets the MUR (Message User Reference) field 108.
    For system messages (category 0) the MUR is located in the text block (block 4). Thus, a field 108 is added to the block 4, or of the field exist its value is updated. For user to user messages (category 1 to 9) the MUR is added to the user header block (block 3), or if the field exist its value is updated.
    The MUR is the Message User Reference used by applications for reconciliation with ACK. It is a free-format field in which users may specify their own reference of up to 16 characters of the permitted character set, and it is contained in a 108 field at the message user header (block 3).

    - Message type: the 3-character number identifying the specific message.
    - Reference: field 20 or field 20C:SEME returned by SwiftMessageUtils.reference(SwiftMessage)
    Notice despite the name this identifier is unique only in the context of a specific message management platform, since all its values could be repeated from one installation to another. To make it completely unique in your application context, consider using getUID(Calendar, Long)

```
    Gets a UID (Unique Identifier) for the message appending a suffix to the UUID generated with getUUID().
    The suffix is a system-generated value that can help uniquely identify a message. The suffix generated by this method is similar to the suffix used by SWIFT Alliance Lite. The first part is the creation date of the message in YYMMDD format, a six-digit number. The second part consists of 1-10 left padded digit number generated from the container application/system incremental identifier.
    
    Parameters:
    
    created - optional creation date, if provided, the YYMMDD will be appended as first part of the suffix
    
    id - optional incremental identifier number from the application, if provided it will be appended as second part of the suffix
