Burn Lewis commented on UIMA-5043: ---------------------------------- I view them as both useful for configuration ... one is local and the other global. I was hoping that since ExternalOverrideSettings have been associated with the global set we could imply that Setting has a global flavour. I could use "global" in the docs, and/or we could consider: getGlobalConfigSettingValue & getGlobalConfigSettingArray & getGlobalConfigSettingNames. > Provide method to access individual external override settings > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: UIMA-5043 > 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) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
