Description

Interface Summary

AnnotatorContext	This interface is maintained only for backwards compatibility with annotators developed in UIMA SDK v1.x.
BaseAnnotator	Base interface for annotators in UIMA SDK v1.x.
GenericAnnotator	Interface implemented for multiple-sofa annotators in UIMA SDK v1.x As of v2.0, annotators should extend CasAnnotator_ImplBase or JCasAnnotator_ImplBase.
JTextAnnotator	Interface for JCAS annotators in UIMA SDK v1.x.
TextAnnotator	Base class for text annotators in UIMA SDK v1.x.

Class Summary

Annotator_ImplBase	Base class for annotators in UIMA SDK v1.x.
GenericAnnotator_ImplBase	Base interface for annotators in UIMA SDK v1.x.
JTextAnnotator_ImplBase	Base class for JCAS annotators in UIMA SDK v1.x.

Exception Summary

AnnotatorConfigurationException	An AnnotatorConfigurationException is thrown by an annotator if the settings of its configuration parameters are invalid.
AnnotatorContextException	An AnnotatorContextException is thrown by an AnnotatorContext if it cannot complete the invoked operation due to a failure in the underlying implementation.
AnnotatorInitializationException	An AnnotatorInitializationException may be thrown by an annotator's initialize method, indicating that the annotator failed to successfully initialize itself.
AnnotatorProcessException	An AnnotatorProcessException may be thrown by an annotator's process method, indicating that a failure occured during processing.

Package org.apache.uima.analysis_engine.annotator Description

The Annotator Interfaces, along with supporting interfaces and exception classes.

The annotator interfaces are as follows:

• BaseAnnotator: the base interface for all annotators. Annotators should not implement this directly.
• GenericAnnotator: an annotator that can process any type of entity.
• TextAnnotator: an annotator that processes text documents.
• JTextAnnotator: similar to TextAnnotator, but uses the Java-object-based org.apache.uima.jcas.impl.JCas interface instead of the standard CAS interface.
