--------------------------------------
Summary: Add visibility into implicitly expected resource paths in
ctakes-core FileLocator.class
Key: CTAKES-504
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-504
Project: cTAKES
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ctakes-core
Reporter: Reed Villanueva
Fix For: 4.0.1
In
_/trunk/ctakes-core/src/main/java/org/apache/ctakes/core/resource/FileLocator.java_,
the method _getFileSearchPaths_ makes certain implicit assumptions about where
to look for resources if environment variable _CTAKES_HOME_ is not set. This
can cause confusion about where resources should be placed in projects
attempting to use ctakes library jars, since if they are not in these expected
locations, the current errors may look like
{code:java}
Exception in thread "main" 06 Apr 2018 00:17:53 ERROR JdbcRareWordDictionary -
Could not Connect to Dictionary sno_rx_16abTerms
org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException: Initialization of
annotator class
"org.apache.ctakes.dictionary.lookup2.ae.DefaultJCasTermAnnotator" failed.
(Descriptor: <unknown>){code}
Which does not inform that the problem is related to *where* the resources/
folder has been placed.
I propose adding an additional small bit of output text before the method
returns, of the form:
{code:java}
LOGGER.info( String.format("Obtained search paths for resource %s:", location)
);
for (String path : paths) {
LOGGER.info(path);
}{code}
