If only the Article view is copied, a new view of the same name is created
in the new CAS, but it seems not be possible to copy the Article View to
the _InitialView in the new CAS. Which I want to do, because otherwise
the CAS cannot be opened in the Cas Editor (lacks multi view support).
Is there a way doing this?
Oterhwise the current copyCasView method could be extended
with a new destination view name argument:
public void copyCasView(CAS aSrcCasView, String dstViewName, boolean
aCopySofa)
The current copyCasView method would then simply call the extended one
with the view name of the source view .

Hi Jörn,
The only way to do this now is to create a 2nd CAS, copy over the
parts wanted using the org.apache.uima.util.CasCopier and serialize
the new CAS.
A more direct solution is the proposal for serialization to support
"CAS projections".
A brief description is in

Hi everyone,
is it possible to only serialize one view of a CAS ?
In my case the "_InitialView" contains an xml document, which
is transformed by an AE into a plain text representation, and
placed in a view called "Article".
The serialization code now should only write the "Article"
view into the xmi file, and dropping the "_InitialView".
As far as I know the "_InitialView" must always exist,
so it would be ok to just rename the "Article" view
to "_InitialView" in the serialzed CAS.
I looked at the XmiCasSerializer class but could not find
a setting which specifies which views are serialized.
Thanks,
Jörn
