Method Detail

getNumChildren

public int getNumChildren()

serialize

public void serialize(CAS cas,
                      ContentHandler contentHandler)
               throws IOException,
                      SAXException

Write the CAS data to a SAX content handler.

Parameters:

cas - The CAS to be serialized.

contentHandler - The SAX content handler the data is written to.

Throws:

IOException

SAXException

serialize

public void serialize(CAS cas,
                      ContentHandler contentHandler,
                      boolean encodeDoc)
               throws IOException,
                      SAXException

Write the CAS data to a SAX content handler.

Parameters:

cas - The CAS to be serialized.

contentHandler - The SAX content handler the data is written to.

encodeDoc - If set to false, no uima.tcas.Document structure will be created, and the document text will not be serialized.

Throws:

IOException

SAXException

serialize

public void serialize(CAS cas,
                      ContentHandler contentHandler,
                      boolean encodeDoc,
                      org.apache.uima.cas.impl.OutOfTypeSystemData outOfTypeSystemData)
               throws IOException,
                      SAXException

Write the CAS data to a SAX content handler.

Parameters:

cas - The CAS to be serialized.

contentHandler - The SAX content handler the data is written to.

encodeDoc - If set to false, no uima.tcas.Document structure will be created, and the document text will not be serialized.

outOfTypeSystemData - data not part of the CAS type system, which should be inserted into the XCAS output

Throws:

IOException

SAXException

getDocumentTypeName

public String getDocumentTypeName()

Gets the name of the type representing the document. This will become the name of the XML element that will hold the document text.

Returns:

the document type name

setDocumentTypeName

public void setDocumentTypeName(String aDocTypeName)

Gets the name of the type representing the document. This will become the name of the XML element that will hold the document text. If not set, defaults to DEFAULT_DOC_TYPE_NAME.

Parameters:

aDocTypeName - the document type name

getDocumentTextFeature

public String getDocumentTextFeature()

Gets the name of the feature holding the documeng text. This will become the value of the _content attribute on the document element.

Returns:

the document text feature

setDocumentTextFeature

public void setDocumentTextFeature(String aDocTextFeature)

Sets the name of the feature holding the documeng text. This will become the value of the _content attribute on the document element. If not set, defaults to DEFAULT_DOC_TEXT_FEAT. If set to null, no _content attribute will be emitted.

Parameters:

aDocTextFeature - the document text feature

serialize

public static void serialize(CAS aCAS,
                             OutputStream aStream)
                      throws SAXException,
                             IOException

Serializes an XCAS to a stream.

Parameters:

aCAS - CAS to serialize.

aStream - output stream to which to write the XCAS XML document

Throws:

SAXException - if a problem occurs during XCAS serialization

IOException - if an I/O failure occurs

serialize

public static void serialize(CAS aCAS,
                             OutputStream aStream,
                             boolean isFormattedOutput)
                      throws SAXException,
                             IOException

Serializes an XCAS to a stream.

Parameters:

aCAS - CAS to serialize.

aStream - output stream to which to write the XCAS XML document

isFormattedOutput - if true the XCAS will be serialized formatted

Throws:

SAXException - if a problem occurs during XCAS serialization

IOException - if an I/O failure occurs
