Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-5115:
--------------------------------------
Re: type is inferred from the variable to which the result is assigned - yes
that works.
For compile-time type safety, you can use the form:
{code}
// a method in the CAS
<T extends FeatureStructure> SelectFSs<T> select(Class<T> clazz)...
// a use of this method
SelectFSs<MyJCasType> s = cas.select(MyJCasType.class);
{code}
The compiler checks that the class of the argument matches the type argument in
the receiver declaration.
I agree that if you use cas.select("pkg.MyJCasType"), there's no compile-time
checking done.
