Method Detail

processCas

void processCas(CAS aCAS)
         throws ResourceProcessException

Process a single CAS.

Parameters:

aCAS - the CAS to be processed. Additional information may be added to this CAS (if this CAS processor is not read-only).

Throws:

ResourceProcessException - if processing fails

processCas

void processCas(CAS[] aCASes)
         throws ResourceProcessException

Processes multiple CASes.

Parameters:

aCASes - an array of CASes to be processed. Additional information may be added to these CASes (if this CAS processor is not read-only).

Throws:

ResourceProcessException - if processing fails for any of the CASes

typeSystemInit

void typeSystemInit(TypeSystem aTypeSystem)
             throws ResourceInitializationException

Informs this CasConsumer that the CAS TypeSystem has changed. The CPM calls this method prior to initiating collection processing, and will call it again whenever the CAS TypeSystem changes.

In this method, the CasConsumer should use the TypeSystem to resolve the names of Type and Features to the actual Type and Feature objects, which can then be used during processing.

Parameters:

aTypeSystem - the type system to use

Throws:

ResourceInitializationException - if the type system is not compatible with this Cas Consumer
