-
- org.apache.uima.analysis_component.JCasMultiplier_ImplBase
-
- All Implemented Interfaces:
AnalysisComponent
public abstract class JCasMultiplier_ImplBase extends AnalysisComponent_ImplBase
Base class to be extended by CAS Multipliers that use theCAS
interface. A CAS Multiplier can produce multiplie output CASes while processing an input CAS. SeeAnalysisComponent
for a description of how the framework calls the methods on this interface.

Method Detail
-
getRequiredCasInterface
public final java.lang.Class<JCas> getRequiredCasInterface()
Description copied from interface:AnalysisComponent
Returns the specific CAS interface that this AnalysisComponent requires the framework to pass to itsAnalysisComponent.process(AbstractCas)
method.- Returns:
- the required CAS interface. This must specify a subtype of
AbstractCas
.
-
getCasInstancesRequired
public int getCasInstancesRequired()
Returns the maximum number of CAS instances that this CAS Multiplier expects to use at the same time. Returns a default value of 1, which will be sufficient for most CAS Multipliers. Only if there is a clear need should this be overridden to return something greater than 1.- Returns:
- the number of CAS instances required by this AnalysisComponent.
-
process
public final void process(AbstractCas aCAS) throws AnalysisEngineProcessException
Description copied from interface:AnalysisComponent
Inputs a CAS to the AnalysisComponent. The AnalysisComponent "owns" this CAS until such time asAnalysisComponent.hasNext()
is called and returns false or untilprocess
is called again (see class description).- Parameters:
aCAS
- A CAS that this AnalysisComponent should process. The framework will ensure that aCAS implements the specific CAS interface specified by theAnalysisComponent.getRequiredCasInterface()
method.- Throws:
AnalysisEngineProcessException
- if a problem occurs during processing
-
process
public abstract void process(JCas aJCas) throws AnalysisEngineProcessException
This method should be overriden by subclasses. Inputs a JCAS to the AnalysisComponent. The AnalysisComponent "owns" this JCAS until such time asAnalysisComponent.hasNext()
is called and returns false, or until theprocess
method is called again (seeAnalysisComponent
for details).- Parameters:
aJCas
- a JCAS that this AnalysisComponent should process.- Throws:
AnalysisEngineProcessException
- if a problem occurs during processing
-
getEmptyJCas
protected final JCas getEmptyJCas()
Gets an empty JCas that this CAS Multiplier can then populate.- Returns:
- an empty JCas
