Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-6153:
--------------------------------------------------
The problem goes away when using `select(Sentence.class)` - I have been
avoiding the use of JCas because initializing JCas in UIMAv2 took quite some
time. Maybe this is no longer an issue with UIMAv3.
> select.covering should bind to AnnotationFS

> Key: UIMA-6153
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-6153
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: UIMA
> Affects Versions: 3.1.1SDK
> Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
> Priority: Major
>
> The following code does not compile because select.covering() uses TOP
> instead of AnnotationFS as the generic type. Consequently, getBegin() and
> getEnd() are not available on the "s" used in the filter expressions. But
> since covering() only makes sense for annotations, binding the generic type
> to TOP doesn't seem to make much sense:
> {{return aCas.select(getType(aCas, Sentence.class)).covering(aBegin1,
> aBegin1)}}
> {{ .filter(s -> s.getBegin() <= aBegin1 && aBegin1 < s.getEnd())}}
> {{ .filter(s -> s.getBegin() <= aBegin2 && aBegin2 <
> s.getEnd()).findFirst()}}
> {{ .isPresent();}}
