Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-2147:
--------------------------------------------------
At least Annotation which has the type "uima.tcas.Annotation". I don't know if
there are others. In uimaFIT, we have a few lines of code to get the Type
object for a particular type name and here we had to add special handling for
this:
{noformat}
String UIMA_BUILTIN_JCAS_PREFIX = "org.apache.uima.jcas.";
if (typeName.startsWith(UIMA_BUILTIN_JCAS_PREFIX)) {
typeName = "uima." + typeName.substring(UIMA_BUILTIN_JCAS_PREFIX.length());
}
Type t = cas.getTypeSystem().getType(typeName);
{noformat}
> Generate static fields for type names and feature names in JCas wrappers

> Key: UIMA-2147
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-2147
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Java Framework
> Affects Versions: 2.3.1
> Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
>
> It would be convient if the JCas wrapper generator would create static final
> String fields for feature names and for the type name, e.g.
> public static final String TYPE_NAME = "my.jcastypes.Type";
> public static final String FEAT_BEGIN = "begin";
> This would allow cleaner programming with JCas wrappers in cases where the
> names are required. In particular it would allow to detect certain errors at
> compile-time and facilitate refactoring.
