That is a great idea - although I'd personally like to see it at the level of FSes ;) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-4536 That should greatly simplify interacting with the CAS through the CAS (not JCas) API! Some examples: // Different ways of setting a value setFeature(fs, "BooleanArrayValue", true); setFeature(fs, "BooleanArrayValue", true, false); setFeature(fs, "BooleanArrayValue", new boolean[] { true, false }); setFeature(fs, "BooleanArrayValue", asList(true, false)); // Different ways of getting a value assertEquals(true, getFeature(fs, "BooleanArrayValue", List.class).get(0)); assertEquals(false, getFeature(fs, "BooleanArrayValue", List.class).get(1)); assertEquals(true, getFeature(fs, "BooleanArrayValue", boolean[].class)[0]); assertEquals(false, getFeature(fs, "BooleanArrayValue", boolean[].class)[1]); I've had some of this in WebAnno already, but having this in uimaFIT (and eventually in uimaj-core) in a more comprehensive way makes much more sense.
