Richard Eckart de Castilho updated UIMA-5793:
---------------------------------------------
Description:
When FSUtil.getFeature(fs, feature, type) is called on a feature that is
multi-valued and type is Object, then the method fails with a message like
{noformat}
Unable to coerce value of feature
[de.tudarmstadt.ukp.inception.api.kb.type.Fact:object] with type
[de.tudarmstadt.ukp.inception.api.kb.type.FactObjectLink[]] into
[java.lang.Object]
{noformat}
This is because Object is no an array or collection type. However,
FSUtil.getFeatures should handle this as a special case. When the Object is
used, basically any return value is acceptable. FSUtil should have defined
behavior here, e.g. returning either an array or a list representation of the
multi-value.
This is what current work-around code looks like:
{code}
private Object getValue(FeatureStructure fs, AnnotationFeature aFeature)
{
Object value;
Feature f = fs.getType().getFeatureByBaseName(aFeature.getName());
if (f.getRange().isPrimitive()) {
value = FSUtil.getFeature(fs, aFeature.getName(), Object.class);
}
else if (FSUtil.isMultiValuedFeature(fs, f)) {
value = FSUtil.getFeature(fs, aFeature.getName(), List.class);
}
else {
value = FSUtil.getFeature(fs, aFeature.getName(),
FeatureStructure.class);
}
return value;
}
{code}
