Method Detail

serialize

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

Serializes a CAS to XMI format and writes it to an output stream.

Parameters:

aCAS - CAS to serialize.

aStream - output stream to which to write the XMI document

Throws:

SAXException - if a problem occurs during XMI serialization

IOException - if an I/O failure occurs

serialize

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

Serializes a CAS to XMI format and writes it to an output stream. Allows a TypeSystem to be specified, to which the produced XMI will conform. Any types or features not in the target type system will not be serialized.

Parameters:

aCAS - CAS to serialize.

aTargetTypeSystem - type system to which the produced XMI will conform. Any types or features not in the target type system will not be serialized.

aCAS - CAS to serialize.

aStream - output stream to which to write the XMI document

Throws:

SAXException - if a problem occurs during XMI serialization

IOException - if an I/O failure occurs
