Hi Richard,
I found something similar in one of your posts in the mailing list archive
before:
[...]Digging into the API again, I believe the fix should be this:
MetaData metaData = (MetaData)
jcas.getIndexRepository().getAllIndexedFS(MetaData.type).next()
[...]
If I get this right, in my example, ImageArea corresponds to MetaData? But
ImageArea.type returns an Integer, where .getAllIndexedFS(Type arg0) needs a
Type parameter. Now I am stuck with a similar problem, I cannot find anything
in my CAS object that allows me to reference my ImageArea as a type. I'll try
to figure out how to define a custom index as a next step.
Best regards,
Alex

Subject: Re: iterate over annotations
Hello Alex,
you'll probably have to use cas.getIndexRepository().getAllIndexedFS(type) to
get to your custom annotations. You can also define a custom index and then use
cas.getIndexRepository().getIndex(label).
Cheers,
Richard
