Test it by removing the dependency from a sandbox project - it built
just fine. So I think this is correct.  I'll update the doc. -Marshall

Our documentation says "See the Javadocs" for info on the additional
parameters.  The Javadocs say this is a Map ... Valid parameter names
are defined as constants on the XYZ Interface ... and in that interface,
these constants are Strings.

But users might decide to represent these parameters in a properties file.

Here are some considerations (apologies if I get this wrong - please
correct):
 - If we declare as , then you cannot assign a
Map to the parameter.
 - Having the key of the map be an Object is more general, and would
accommodate Properties.
 - declaring as  - cannot assign  "new Properties()" to
it any more, unless you do the double-fisted cast
(Map)(Object)

If that is the trade off, I think I would rather have it be .

Re: release 2.3.0 plan

One way we have to ensure that the uima core generification is
correct is to use our API with generics, thats why I would like to suggest
to move our release a few days and use the time to convert existing
code outside of the core. That  could be done after the code freeze.

As part of the release process, after we do a release candidate, we'll

Things that are not ready will be postponed to the next release.

Using getSofaDataStream instead of getDocumentText

 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1502
 Project: UIMA
  Issue Type: Improvement
  Components: Sandbox-WhitespaceTokenizer
Reporter: Jérôme Rocheteau
Priority: Minor


I would like to known if it could be better to get the CAS text content by 
calling the getSofaDataStream method of the CAS class instead of getting it by 
the getDocumentText one.

Actually, CAS sofas can be set either by calling the setSofaDataString method 
(aka setDocumentText), or by calling the setSofaDataArray one, or by calling 
the setSofaDataURI one. However, the getDocumentText method (aka 
getSofaDataString) provides the content of CASes whose sofas are only set by 
the first method whereas the getSofaDataStream method retieves content whatever 
the called method. A method able to get String from an InputStream is then 
needed.

Am I wrong in thinking it's an Improvement?

Yes, works fine now.  This patch adds code to the test driver to test if any

threads, and moved some of the "fail" calls so they occur after the service has

generics: AnalysisComponent.getRequiredCasInterface();

2009-08-19 Thread Jörn Kottmann

Is that the correct generification?
Class getRequiredCasInterface();

Implementing classes can then specify the concrete return
type.

For example:
Class JCasAnnotator_ImplBase.getRequiredCasInterface()
Class CasAnnotator_ImplBase.getRequiredCasInterface()

Jörn



generics: ResourceFactory.produceResource

2009-08-19 Thread Jörn Kottmann

The current declaration with out generics:

 public Resource produceResource(Class aResourceClass, 
ResourceSpecifier aSpecifier,
 Map aAdditionalParams) throws 
ResourceInitializationException;


Can it be assumed that aResourceClass is always a class which extends 
Resource,

if so it could be declared as Class.

There are many places where aResourceClass occurs, we should handle them 
all identical.

possibly including the BSFAnnotator in the sandbox release 2.3.0

2009-08-19 Thread Marshall Schor
While working on including the BSFAnnotator in the sandbox release, I
noticed it has 6 jar files in its "lib" directory.  The NOTICE file says
that the project includes some components under MPL and SPL; however,
the information needed to associate each of this included 3rd-party jar
files with the proper license is missing.

Can someone who knows identify the source of the following jars:

bsf.jar
bsh-bsf.jar
bsh.jar
commons-logging-api-1.1.jar
js.jar
log4j-1.2.15.jar

I typed bsf.jar into google and got to the Apache Jakarta site.  I
downloaded and unzipped their release, and found the jars are different
- I suspect, due to version / level changes.

Do we need to update/upgrade any of these Jars?

Is there a better way to package / distribute this in binary form?

Also, I noticed that the POM section for building the documentation is
commented out - because there is no docbook style documentation.  The
documentation seems limited to a README and some examples.  Is there
additional documentation available for this?

-Marshall

I tried:
  public static void tgrci(AnalysisComponent ac) {
Class x = ac.getRequiredCasInterface();
  }

but it doesn't work, gives error:
// error, cannot convert from Class
to Class

This is with the interface AnalysisComponent defining
getRequiredCasInterface as:
 Class getRequiredCasInterface();

This works:
  public static void tgrci(AnalysisComponent ac) {
Class x = ac.getRequiredCasInterface();
  }

and this works too:
  public static void tgrci(AnalysisComponent ac) {
Class x = ((JCasAnnotator_ImplBase)ac).getRequiredCasInterface();
  }

So, I think we have the correct generification in the interface
AnalysisComponent, of return .

[jira] Commented: (UIMA-1502) Using getSofaDataStream instead of getDocumentText

2009-08-19 Thread Marshall Schor (JIRA)

 ] 

Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-1502:
--

This approach has trade-offs.  On the plus side, it provides a more uniform 
method of handling various kinds of input.  On the minus side, for the very 
common case where the subject of analysis is the text in the CAS's sofa, it 
would introduce considerable inefficiencies.

When the CAS has had some text set into it as the subject-of-analysis, it is 
stored as a Java string.  If you now ask the Cas for an inputstream using 
getSofaDataStream - it has to take the string and convert it into an array of 
bytes, using the UTF-8 character encoding.  This byte array is then wrapped 
into an input stream.  Your patch now takes this and reads it (by mistake, in 
the "default" character encoding - it should be UTF-8), with various new 
buffers assigned.  It also could be changing the manner in which new lines are 
encoded.

Since the string is already available, this seems like quite a poor approach.

I'm also not convinced that there is a real use-case which needs this kind of 
unification.
