I'm not sure if this does the right thing. If I understand this right,
you configured the html2plaintextMapper... to refer to the default view
internally by the name "plaintextSofa". That's why the view already
exists - it's actually the default view.
I rather thought of using the input/outputSofa tags to specify which
view the next component recieves as it's default view. This way you can
avoid calling jcas.getView(...) in the following AE, since the jcas it
received is already assured to be the the right one.
This way you can avoid having hardcoded view names in your AEs.

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.

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
