Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-5115:
--------------------------------------
This bit of uglyness is due to the fact that type inference from the target to
the method doesn't "chain". However it can be overcome more simply than
passing extra arguments. I did this experiment:
{code}
// fails - can't convert FSIterator<TOP> to FSIterator<Token>
FSIterator<Token> it = cas.select("my.Token").fsIterator();
// split into two statements, and it works (no chained inference needed)
SelectFS<Token> s = cas.select("my.Token"); //OK
FSIterator<Token> it2 = s.fsIterator(); //OK
// simple work-around for non-chaining type inferencing - supply the type
FSIterator<Token> it3 = cas.<Token>select("my.Token").fsIterator();
{code}
