Re: Accessing upstream annotations in downstream C++ AE

In Java there are two interfaces to the CAS: the JCas interface and the
"generic" CAS interface. Some Java example code using the generic interface
are in $UIMA_HOME/examples/src/org/apache/uima/examples/cas/.

UIMACPP implements the generic interface, which requires manual resolution
of Type and Feature definitions before accessing them. This resolution is
normally done in the annotator's typeSystemInit() method.

From typeSystemInit of the C++ version of the meeting annotator,
$UIMACPP_HOME/examples/tutorial/src/MeetingAnnotator.cpp:

    //input types
    roomNumberT =
crTypeSystem.getType("org.apache.uima.tutorial.RoomNumber");
    dateT =  crTypeSystem.getType("org.apache.uima.tutorial.DateAnnot");
    timeT =  crTypeSystem.getType("org.apache.uima.tutorial.TimeAnnot");

The Type object would then be used for things like
    ANIndex roomNumberIndex = tcas.getAnnotationIndex(roomNumberT);

Custom features are handled in a similar way. For more information about the
generic API, see
http://incubator.apache.org/uima/downloads/releaseDocs/2.2.1-incubating/docs/html/references/references.html#ugr.ref.cas.cas_apis_create_modify_feature_structures

Hope this helps,
Eddie

PS Like Java, the method cas.getView( "MyView") will throw an exception if
the specified view does not exist in cas.

File scheme in UIMA C++

Does anybody know if UIMA C++ is supposed to support file: scheme in
URI's?
getSofaDataStream() fails for me when trying to read data from a local
file.

Error number  : 5066
Recoverable   : No
Error         : Scheme handler for the 'file' scheme not registered.
Cannot access 'file:///C:/Workspace/UimaAerial/data/in/HU-230.raw'.
   While      : Error accessing Sofa Data Stream.
   While      : No detailed message available
   While      : No detailed message available
   While      : No detailed message available

Thanks to all & esp. Eddie who answered previous questions

Re: File scheme in UIMA C++

C++ has no built in URI scheme handlers, so uimacpp has a mechanism for
registering a shared library as a scheme handler. See details in
$UIMACPP_HOME/examples/readme.html.
