Re: uima jcas get annotation type from string

2014-02-14 Thread hannes schantl 
 thanks for the answers.

Is there also a way to get a Type from a String, which can be used as
argument for the JCasUtil.select method?

I want to use the type object to get all Annotations of type Sentence from
the Cas. And further extract all Annotations within this
sentence. There for sure other ways to solve this issue without using
JCasUtil, but it seems JCasUtil provide an easy way to do this by using the
methods
JCasUtil.select and JCasUtil.selectCovered.

greetings Hannes

There are a couple of different ways to get a pointer to specific Type object.

jcas.getRequiredType(mypackage.AnnotationType);
(cas|jcas).getTypeSystem.getType(mypackage.AnnotationType);

The question is what do you want to do with the Type object once you have it.

The JCasUtil methods assume that you have access to JCas classes, e.g.

  import mypackage.AnnotationType;
  JCasUtil.select(jcas, AnnotationType.class)

If you want to select based on names/types, not on JCas-classes, you could
consider using the CasUtil methods:

  CAS cas = jcas.getCas(); // Or use inherit from CasAnnotator_ImplBase
  Type annotationType = CasUtil.getType(cas, mypackage.AnnotationType);
  CasUtil.select(cas, annotationType);

Of course, you could also use reflection to get the class for your annotation
type and pass it to JCasUtil - but that would be redundant and would require
handling various exceptions:

  JCasUtil.select(jcas, Class.forName(mypackage.AnnotationType))

 I want to use the type object to get all Annotations of type Sentence from

CasUtil largely mirrors the functionality of JCasUtil. In fact, JCasUtil calls
out to CasUtil for most of the grunt work.

Re: uima jcas get annotation type from string

2014-02-14 Thread Thomas Ginter 
Once you have the Type object you can get all and index to all the annotations 
in the case using:

AnnotationIndexAnnotation mySentenceIndex = 
jcas.getAnnotationIndex(mySentenceTypeObj);

Then you can get an iterator over the index using:

FSIteratorAnnotation mySentenceIterator = mySentenceIndex.iterator();

or you could just use the iterator loop syntax in Java such as:

for(Annotation sentence : mySentenceIndex) {
/** Do something cool **/
}

The AnnotationLibrarian class in the Leo framework provides some pretty 
convenient methods for this as well such as:

CollectionSentence sentenceList = 
AnnotationLibrarian.getAllAnnotationsOfType(jcas, mySentenceTypeObj);

which returns a list of Sentence annotation types.  You can find more 
information about the Leo framework at the following URL:

Re: ducc_ling only switches the default group

2014-02-14 Thread Jim Challenger 
I attached a patch to Jira UIMA-3616 and instructions on how to apply 
it.  If there are any problems let me know and I'll get right on it.   
Note that you don't need a source-level distribution (ducc_ling source 
is supplied in the binary distro) but you do need a current 1.0.0 
ducc_ling.c.  ducc_ling is back-compatible quite a ways, so if you're 
still on a pre 1.0.0 version, it should be safe to get the 1.0.0 
ducc_ling, patch it, and install it in the beta.

Erdem,
Sorry, I'd only been watching the devlist up to now.

This is just an oversight, I'll fix and get a patch soon.
