Hi Armando,
how do you define it.starred.odnamar.uima.tcas.Date?
Is the super type of "it.starred.odnamar.uima.tcas.Date" "uima.tcas.Annotation"?
Not sure if the setup in your scenario match the design. The annotation you
specify as exception
(it.starred.odnamar.uima.tcas.Date) have to cover the annotation of the
original match.
e.g.
<rule regEx="(car)(.)*" matchStrategy="matchAll"
matchType="org.apache.uima.TokenAnnot">
<ruleExceptions>
<exception matchType="org.apache.uima.SentenceAnnot">test</exception>
</ruleExceptions>
</rule>
In that case the SentenceAnnot have to cover the TokenAnnot, if not, the
exception is not evaluated.
That may also explains why your second test with the supertype
uima.tcas.Annotation works because in
most cases you will have a covering annotation of type uima.tcas.Annotation.
