Hello!
I tried to use in my Type System the subset of the String that specifies
a restricted set of allowed values (cf. UIMA SDK 23-295).
I assumed that UIMA will check then if the assigned value is correct (is
in the restricted list). It was not the case because I could assign
other values as well.
Please, see the extracts from the Type System and the code in the
Annotator (see below). Is there something wrong?
Type System:
<typeDescription>
<name>de.julielab.jules.types.PennPOSTag</name>
<description></description>
<supertypeName>de.julielab.jules.types.POSTag</supertypeName>
<features>
<featureDescription>
<name>value</name>
<description></description>
<rangeTypeName>de.julielab.jules.types.PennPOS</rangeTypeName>
</featureDescription>
</features>
</typeDescription>
<typeDescription>
<typeDescription>
<name>de.julielab.jules.types.PennPOS</name>
<description></description>
<supertypeName>uima.cas.String</supertypeName>
<allowedValues>
<value>
<string>CC</string>
<description>Coordinating conjunction</description>

<value>
<string>CD</string>

</value>
<value>
<string>DT</string>
<description>Determiner</description>
</value>
<value>
</allowedValues>
</typeDescription>
<typeDescription>
Annotator:
posTag = "CD";
PennPOSTag pos = new PennPOSTag(aJCas, token.getBegin(),token.getEnd() );
((PennPOSTag)pos).setValue(posTag);
With best regards
