Package org.apache.uima.cas
Interface FSTypeConstraint
- All Superinterfaces:
FSConstraint
,FSMatchConstraint
,Serializable
Interface for type constraint. Tests if a feature structure is a subtype of a given type (or
types).
You can add as many types to this constraint as you like. If you add more than one type, they will be interpreted disjunctively; i.e., the constraint will match any feature structure whose type is subsumed by one of the types of the constraint.
these constraints may be embedded in a path, or combined using and/or operators.
To use the constraint, invoke its FSMatchConstraint.match(FeatureStructure)
method, passing the feature
structure to test.
You can also use these constraints to construct a
CAS.createFilteredIterator(FSIterator, FSMatchConstraint)
.
