All Implemented Interfaces:

AnalysisComponent

public class UimaMeetingAnnotator
extends JCasAnnotator_ImplBase

Example annotator that iterates over Meeting annotations and annotates a meeting as a UimaMeeting if a UIMA acronym occurs in close proximity to that meeting. When combined in an aggregate TAE with the UimaAcronymAnnotator, demonstrates the use of the ResourceManager to share data between annotators.

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(UimaContext aContext)
                throws ResourceInitializationException

Description copied from interface: AnalysisComponent

Performs any startup tasks required by this component. The framework calls this method only once, just after the AnalysisComponent has been instantiated.

The framework supplies this AnalysisComponent with a reference to the UimaContext that it will use, for example to access configuration settings or resources. This AnalysisComponent should store a reference to its the UimaContext for later use.

Specified by:

initialize in interface AnalysisComponent

Overrides:

initialize in class AnalysisComponent_ImplBase

Parameters:

aContext - Provides access to services and resources managed by the framework. This includes configuration parameters, logging, and access to external resources.

Throws:

ResourceInitializationException - if this AnalysisComponent cannot initialize successfully.

See Also:

AnalysisComponent.initialize(UimaContext)

process

public void process(JCas aJCas)
             throws AnalysisEngineProcessException

Description copied from class: JCasAnnotator_ImplBase

This method should be overriden by subclasses. Inputs a JCAS to the AnalysisComponent. The AnalysisComponent "owns" this JCAS until such time as Annotator_ImplBase.hasNext() is called and returns false (see AnalysisComponent for details).

Specified by:

process in class JCasAnnotator_ImplBase

Parameters:

aJCas - a JCAS that this AnalysisComponent should process.

Throws:

AnalysisEngineProcessException - if a problem occurs during processing

JCasAnnotator_ImplBase.process(JCas)
