Burn Lewis commented on UIMA-5043:
----------------------------------
I'd prefer to keep the current interface ... and it would be safe to expose it
if I add a method to mark the object as immutable after it has been loaded.
Another issue is that I didn't provide a documented way of creating a Settings
object, so rather than using the non-Javadoc'd Settings_impl it'd be better to
use a createSettings method in the ResourceSpecifierFactory
> Provide method to access individual external override settings

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-5043
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Java Framework
> Reporter: Burn Lewis
> Assignee: Burn Lewis
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.9.0SDK

>
> The framework loads the external override settings and uses them in any
> configuration parameter that has an external override name attached, Users
> have asked for the ability to access these values directly without the
> indirection of configuration parameter entries in descriptors. Currently the
> complete Settings object that holds all the external override settings loaded
> by the framework is accessible via UimaContextAdmin.
> An improvement would be to allow individual values to be read using a method
> in the UimaContext interface, perhaps:
> String getExternalOverride(String name)
> String[] getExternalOverrideArray{String name)
