I believe the scenario is roughly this:
- there is some reader which calls CAS.setDocumentMetadata(new
SourceDocumentInfo(...))
- in the CasMultiplier a new CAS is fetched with getNewCAS()
- since the new CAS has no document meta data, I suggested to call e.g.
setDocumentLanguage() so that UIMA creates one
- what UIMA creates is not a SourceDocumentInfo feature structure but a
DocumentMetadata feature structure which does not have the "uri" feature
- result: the exception we see here
At least that is the scenario in which I've run into this problem a couple of
times as well.
My workaround to handle this is to check what kind of feature structure is used
in the source CAS and create that in the target CAS as well:
// Need to initialize the document annotation in the target
view with a feature structure of
// the proper type before copying
targetView.addFsToIndexes(targetView.getCas().createAnnotation(
sourceView.getDocumentAnnotation().getType(),
0, 0));
// Copy the document annotation.
AnnotationFS copy = (AnnotationFS)
copier.copyFs(sourceView.getDocumentAnnotation());
copy.setIntValue(beginFeature, 0);
copy.setIntValue(endFeature, segment.getCoveredText().length());
Note that this needs to be done before calling setDocumentText(),
setDocumentLanguage() or the likes. They would create a DocumentMetadata
feature structure otherwise. You can safely call them after these lines.
Cheers,
Richard
