Operational Properties for a UIMA component.

Method Summary

boolean	getModifiesCas() Gets whether this component will modify the CAS.
boolean	getOutputsNewCASes() Gets whether this AnalysisEngine may output new CASes.
boolean	isMultipleDeploymentAllowed() Gets whether multiple instances of this component can be run in parallel, each receiving a subset of the documents from a collection.
void	setModifiesCas(boolean aModifiesCas) Sets whether this component will modify the CAS.
void	setMultipleDeploymentAllowed(boolean aMultipleDeploymentAllowed) Sets whether multiple instances of this component can be run in parallel, each receiving a subset of the documents from a collection.
void	setOutputsNewCASes(boolean aOutputsNewCASes) Sets whether this AnalysisEngine may output new CASes.

Method Detail

getModifiesCas

boolean getModifiesCas()

Gets whether this component will modify the CAS.

Returns:

true if this component modifies the CAS, false if it does not.

setModifiesCas

void setModifiesCas(boolean aModifiesCas)

Sets whether this component will modify the CAS.

Parameters:

aModifiesCas - true if this component modifies the CAS, false if it does not.

isMultipleDeploymentAllowed

boolean isMultipleDeploymentAllowed()

Gets whether multiple instances of this component can be run in parallel, each receiving a subset of the documents from a collection.

Returns:

true if multiple instances can be run in parallel, false if not

setMultipleDeploymentAllowed

void setMultipleDeploymentAllowed(boolean aMultipleDeploymentAllowed)

Sets whether multiple instances of this component can be run in parallel, each receiving a subset of the documents from a collection.

Parameters:

aMultipleDeploymentAllowed - true if multiple instances can be run in parallel, false if not

getOutputsNewCASes

boolean getOutputsNewCASes()

Gets whether this AnalysisEngine may output new CASes. If this property is set to true, an application can use the AnalysisEngine.processAndOutputNewCASes(CAS) to pass a CAS to this this AnalysisEngine and then step through all of the output CASes that it produces. For example, such an AnalysisEngine could segment a CAS into smaller pieces, emitting each as a separate CAS.

Returns:

true if this component may output new CASes, false if it does not

setOutputsNewCASes

void setOutputsNewCASes(boolean aOutputsNewCASes)

Sets whether this AnalysisEngine may output new CASes. If this property is set to true, an application can use the AnalysisEngine.processAndOutputNewCASes(CAS) to pass a CAS to this this AnalysisEngine and then step through all of the output CASes that it produces. For example, such an AnalysisEngine could segment a CAS into smaller pieces, emitting each as a separate CAS.

Parameters:

aOutputsNewCASes - true if this component may output new CASes, false if it does not
