Michael Stenger commented on UIMA-6194:
---------------------------------------
I got another question on this subject: The matching behavior of
RutaLiteralMatcher confuses me a bit. The commentary in the class, method
getAnnotation, indicates that only strings ranging from the start of a basic
annotation to the end of a basic annotation are considered for matching. In the
respective test, class RutaLiteralMatcherTest, strings "test", "is a test", "."
and so on should be matched, but not "est" or "s a tes". Still, if I try "est"
or "Th", they do pass the Matcher. Is that purposeful behavior? Thanks.

> For certain combinations of document text and RuleElementLiteral in the
> script, method getAnnotation of class RutaLiteralMatcher throws a
> NullPointerException. This seems to be the case whenever the used string is
> a postfix or infix of a word in the document, but itself doesn't occur.
