I looked at this today. Looks like a great start!
I was able to get as far as deploying to tomcat, seeing the web form,
and submitting, but didn't get correct feedback because I don't have a
mysql dictionary set up, which the default descriptor points at. I
didn't see any instructions for building that and didn't have time to
figure that out.
I think I mentioned in a different thread that if this whole thing
could be wrapped in a docker container that would be really powerful,
but if not, there are a few things that are obvious to you as
developers but would make it easier for novices (like me) to deploy.
* download tomcat bin and start with bin/startup.sh (check at
localhost:8080)
* run mvn install on my ctakes installation to populate jar files in
the .m2 directory that were missing
* run mvn package inside the ctakes-web-rest subdirectory
* copy the .war file into the webapps directory in my tomcat
installation.
* While I couldn't get the dictionary to work pointing to mysql, I
noticed that the dictionary descriptor file has a hardcoded IP address
when maybe it should be 127.0.0.1?
One other thing I noticed in the code is that in sending back JSON it
looks like you're turning the JCas into xml and then parsing it
yourself. It should be easier just to access typesystem objects
directly. Sean may have some API code laying around to simplify that as
well.
To iterate over signs/symptoms, for example, you would do:
for(SignSymptomMention ss : JCasUtil.select(jcas,
SignSymptomMention.class)){
int begin = ss.getBegin(); // begin offset
int end = ss.getEnd(): // end offset
...
}
Using the typesystem directly may help you to speed up that code or
make it easier to read. But maybe there is a reason to write it to xml
that I'm not aware of.
Finally, I see there are two sub-directories with similar names,
ctakes-rest-service and ctakes-web-rest. If they are duplicates can you
delete the old one?
I'll keep poking around, but hopefully this is helpful feedback for you
guys. Thanks again for getting this off the ground!
