Method Detail

create

public static <T> T create(org.apache.uima.UimaContext context,
                           String className,
                           Class<T> superClass)
                    throws org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException

Provides a way to create an instance of T. If the class specified by className implements Initializable, then the UimaContext provided here will be passed to its initialize method.

Type Parameters:

T - the interface type

Parameters:

context - the UIMA context containing the parameter settings

className - the name of a class implementing Initializable

superClass - a class to which the initializable class is cast

Returns:

a new initialized instance of the initializable class cast as the specified class

Throws:

org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException - if there was a problem during initialization or instantiation

getClass

public static <T> Class<? extends T> getClass(String className,
                                              Class<T> superClass)
                                       throws org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException

Type Parameters:

T - the interface type

Parameters:

className - the name of a class implementing Initializable

superClass - a class to which the initializable class is cast

Returns:

a new initialized instance of the initializable class cast as the specified class

Throws:

org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException - if there was a problem casting the class

create

public static <T> T create(org.apache.uima.UimaContext context,
                           Class<? extends T> cls)
                    throws org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException

Type Parameters:

T - the interface type

Parameters:

context - the UIMA context containing the parameter settings

cls - the class implementing Initializable

Returns:

a new initialized instance of the initializable class cast as the specified class

Throws:

org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException - if there was a problem during initialization or instantiation

initialize

public static void initialize(Object object,
                              org.apache.uima.UimaContext context)
                       throws org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException

Parameters:

object - an instance of a class implementing Initializable

context - the UIMA context containing the parameter settings

Throws:

org.apache.uima.resource.ResourceInitializationException - if there was a problem during initialization
