public interface CasDataProcessor
extends CasProcessor

Interface for CAS processors that want to interact directly with the CasData. This works best for simple processors that do not need the indexing or strong typing features provided by the CAS container.

Method Summary

CasData	process(CasData aCAS) Process a single CasData.
CasData[]	process(CasData[] aCASes) Process multiple CasData objects.

Method Detail

process

CasData process(CasData aCAS)
                throws ResourceProcessException

Process a single CasData.

Parameters:

aCAS - the input CasData

Returns:

the output CasData (if this CAS processor is read-only, this will always be equivalent to aCAS.

Throws:

ResourceProcessException - if processing fails

process

CasData[] process(CasData[] aCASes)
                  throws ResourceProcessException

Process multiple CasData objects.

Parameters:

aCASes - the input CasData objects

Returns:

the output CasData objects (if this CAS processor is read-only, these will always be equivalent to aCASes.

Throws:

ResourceProcessException - if processing fails
