Hi Matthias,
thanks for the hint. I tried to do it according to the manual. So this
is what I did in the aggregate AE descriptor:
<sofaMappings>
<sofaMapping>
<componentKey>html2plaintextMapperAnnotator</componentKey>
<componentSofaName>plaintextSofa</componentSofaName>
<aggregateSofaName>_InitialView</aggregateSofaName>
</sofaMapping>
</sofaMappings>
Now this does the job, but the html2plaintextMapperAnnotator cannot
createView("plaintextSofa") because that view apparently already exists.
I think it is produced by some magic of the aggregate engine.
Now since the view already exists, I cannot set the document text on it
any more.
I'm quite confused by this and I'm really wondering whether it's just
plain me who is a bit too plain for getting that or whether this is a
"feature" in UIMA.
Best,
Niels

Hi Niels,
you can specify the inputSofa in the capabilities section of the
descriptor. consult the manual
<http://incubator.apache.org/uima/downloads/releaseDocs/2.2.1-incubating/docs/html/tutorials_and_users_guides/tutorials_and_users_guides.html#ugr.tug.mvs.additional_capabilities>
for additional information on this.
regards,
Matthias

Hi UIMA users!
I'm processing HTML data. Therefore I have an aggregate AE that does
all kinds of magic using its own type system. As a last component in
that pipeline, I have an AE that spills out plain text into another
type system and a new CAS. What I'm doing is this:
String plaintext = "..." // imagine all kinds of gathering text here
newCas = cas.createView("plaintextSofa");
newCas.setDocumentText(plainText);
Then I can select this new view in the CAS Visual Debugger.
However, other modules that are supposed to operate on plain text
afterwards of course have the _initialView as input. I don't want to
modify these other AEs, I simply want them to have the "plaintextSofa"
as the default. I think this should be possible somewhere in the AE
descriptors, but I don't get it.
Thanks four your comments and assistance.
Best,
Niels
