Interface CustomResourceSpecifier

All Superinterfaces:

Cloneable, MetaDataObject, ResourceSpecifier, Serializable, XMLizable

public interface CustomResourceSpecifier
extends ResourceSpecifier

A type of ResourceSpecifier that specifically names the Java class that should be created. This allows users to plug in their own custom resource implementations.

Method Summary

Parameter[]	getParameters() Gets parameters that may be read by the custom resource class when it is initialized.
String	getResourceClassName() Retrieves the name of the Java class that will be instantiated when one of the UIMAFramework.produceXXX(ResourceSpecifier,...) methods is called with this resource specifier.
void	setParameters(Parameter[] parameters) Sets parameters that may be read by the custom resource class when it is initialized.
void	setResourceClassName(String aResourceClassName) Setss the name of the Java class that will be instantiated when one of the UIMAFramework.produceXXX(ResourceSpecifier,...) methods is called with this resource specifier.

Method Detail

getResourceClassName

String getResourceClassName()

Retrieves the name of the Java class that will be instantiated when one of the UIMAFramework.produceXXX(ResourceSpecifier,...) methods is called with this resource specifier.

Returns:

a fully-qualified Java class name. The named class should implement Resource.

setResourceClassName

void setResourceClassName(String aResourceClassName)

Setss the name of the Java class that will be instantiated when one of the UIMAFramework.produceXXX(ResourceSpecifier,...) methods is called with this resource specifier.

Parameters:

aResourceClassName - a fully-qualified Java class name. The named class should implement Resource.

getParameters

Parameter[] getParameters()

Gets parameters that may be read by the custom resource class when it is initialized.

Returns:

an array of parameters. This will never return null.

setParameters

void setParameters(Parameter[] parameters)

Sets parameters that may be read by the custom resource class when it is initialized.
