Hi, I am using the REST sandbox component in order to publish a UIMA annotator as a Web Service. Nevertheless, when I am trying to set the spans for a jCas the Web Service returns a nasty exception (index out of bounds for a string, which is actually thrown from the getCoveredText() of the Annotation class).
Now, I do make explicitly sure that the Begin and End that I give to the annotation are not bigger than the underlying CAS's text, and my code runs smoothly if I run it normally (without being a Web Service). In addition, the Web Service runs smoothly as well if leave the spans alone, but in this case the start and end are 0, unfortunately. Has anybody else experienced the same kind of problem? Is this a bug on the REST sandbox component or maybe I have entirely missed something important? Thanks in advance, Stergos.
