Re: [jira] Resolved: (UIMA-10) Split JCas into interface and implementation

[Marshall Schor]

The impl of JCas TOP has code in it to copy into the newly created 
feature structure in the CAS, the CAS's current sofa ref:

   if (casImpl.isAnnotationType(jcasType.casTypeCode)) {
     casImpl.setSofaFeat(addr, casImpl.getSofaRef());
But this seems to not be general enough.  I think it should be done if 
the type being created is a subtype of
AnnotationBase, not just Annotation.

Do others agree?  Does other code (not using the JCas) have a similar issue?
