Class CapabilityLanguageFlowController

All Implemented Interfaces:
FlowController

public class CapabilityLanguageFlowController extends CasFlowController_ImplBase
FlowController for the CapabilityLanguageFlow, which uses a linear flow but may skip some of the AEs in the flow if they do not handle the language of the current document or if their outputs have already been produced by a previous AE in the flow.

    • initialize

      public void initialize(FlowControllerContext aContext) throws ResourceInitializationException
      Description copied from interface: FlowController
      Performs any startup tasks required by this component. The framework calls this method only once, just after the FlowController has been instantiated.

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

      Specified by:
      initialize in interface FlowController
      Overrides:
      initialize in class FlowController_ImplBase
      Parameters:
      aContext - Provides access to services and resources managed by the framework. This includes configuration parameters, logging, and access to external resources. Also provides the FlowController with the metadata of all of the AnalysisEngines that are possible targets for routing CASes.
      Throws:
      ResourceInitializationException - if the FlowController cannot initialize successfully.
    • computeFlow

      public Flow computeFlow(CAS aCAS) throws AnalysisEngineProcessException
      Description copied from class: CasFlowController_ImplBase
      This method must be overriden by subclasses. It takes a CAS and returns a Flow object that is responsible for routing this particular CAS through the components of this Aggregate. The Flow object should be given a handle to the CAS, so that it can use information in the CAS to make routing decisions.

      FlowController implementations will typically define their own class that implements Flow by extending from the base class CasFlow_ImplBase. This method would then just instantiate the flow object, call its setCas method to provide a handle to the CAS, and return the flow object.

      Specified by:
      computeFlow in class CasFlowController_ImplBase
      Parameters:
      aCAS - the CAS to be routed
      Returns:
      a Flow object that will be used to route aCAS
      Throws:
      AnalysisEngineProcessException - if a problem occurs during processing

    • computeFlowTable

      protected Map<String,List<AnalysisSequenceCapabilityNode>> computeFlowTable(Capability[] aCapabilities)
      method computeFlowTable create the flow table for faster processing. The flow table includes the corresponding flow sequence for all languages in the capabilities
      Parameters:
      aCapabilities - aggregate engine capabilities
      Returns:
      Map - flow table includes all sequences for all languages
    • computeSequence

      protected List<AnalysisSequenceCapabilityNode> computeSequence(String language, Capability[] aCapabilities)
      method computeSequence creates a capabilityLanguageAnalysisSequence for the given language
      Parameters:
      language - current language
      aCapabilities - output capabilities of the aggregate engine
      Returns:
      List - capabilityLanguageAnalysisSequence for the current language
