Did you consider using subIterators? These are (briefly) described in
section 4.7.4 of the Apache UIMA Reference book, and may include exactly
what you're trying to get at - an interator over elements that are
"contained" in the span of other elements.

Hi,
Sorry if someone already asked the question.
Is there a direct way to obtain from a Cas all the annotations of a
given type located between two positions in the text? Something like
getContained(String type,int start,int end)?
I am trying to get all the Tokens contained within a specific
Sentence. I have used iterators for doing that and compared the offset
with those of the Sentence but it is a bit tedious. Have I missed
something obvious?
Thanks
Julien
